On Tuesday (September 6, 2022), Norwegian Air Shuttle announced the launch of new seasonal service between Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) and Lyon (LYS) starting January 21, 2023. The route will operate once weekly on Saturdays through March 2023. Lyon Airport is located near ski resorts such as Autrans, Meaudre, Chamrousse and Gresse-en-Vercors, and is also about a 2.5 hour drive from the most famous ski resorts including Val d’Isère, Alpe d’Huez, Les Deux Alpes and Les Arcs. Additionally, Lyon is known as the gastronomic capital of France, offering a rich culinary experience, as well as beautiful architecture and a vibrant culture. The new service to Lyon complements Norwegian’s flights to Geneva, Nice and Salzburg, home to other popular ski resorts in the Alps.

In Tuesday’s announcment, Norwegian’s Commercial Director, Magnus Thome Maursund, said,

“We are happy to be able to offer travelers in Sweden direct flights to Lyon, which is only a couple of hours' drive from attractive ski resorts such as Val d’Isère, Les Deux Alpes and Les Arcs. But Lyon is also a destination in itself where there is much to see and do. We look forward to welcoming travelers on board this new line during the winter season.”

Norwegian Air Shuttle was founded in 1993, but the low-cost airline with Boeing 737 aircraft began flying in 2002, offering smart and pleasant travel experiences at low prices. The airline has been voted ‘Europe’s Best Low-Cost Airline’ by Skytrax for the last six years. Norwegian’s loyalty program, Norwegian Rewards, has also been voted ‘The Airline Industry’s Best Loyalty Program in Europe/Africa’ at the Freddie Awards four years in a row. In 2019, Norwegian became the first airline to sign the UN Climate Action Programme, committing to becoming climate neutral by 2050. The carrier currently offers affordable flights on a short-haul network of destinations in the Nordic countries and to key European destinations.
