Norse Atlantic Airways has achieved a significant milestone with the successful launch of its direct route between London Gatwick and Las Vegas. The inaugural flight, which took place on Thursday, September 12th, was a complete sell-out, demonstrating the high demand for this new connection.
The new route operates three times a week, providing travelers with a convenient schedule to explore Las Vegas’s world-renowned entertainment, fine dining, and attractions. Passengers can enjoy the comfort and relaxation of Norse Atlantic’s state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliners, equipped to provide a premium travel experience. With fares starting from just £299 return, including taxes, Norse Atlantic remains committed to offering affordable long-haul travel options without compromising on comfort or service.
The inaugural flight’s success has been met with enthusiasm from both the airline and Las Vegas authorities. Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder of Norse Atlantic Airways, expressed delight at the strong response, highlighting the route’s contribution to the demand for affordable, direct transatlantic travel. Rosemary Vassiliadis, Director of the Clark County Department of Aviation, emphasized the booming domestic and international travel to Harry Reid International Airport, with the UK being a top international visitor market. The addition of this new route is expected to further boost tourism to Las Vegas.
Steve Hill, CEO and President of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, joined in the celebration, welcoming Norse Atlantic Airways and the new route as a strengthening factor in the connection with the UK, their primary source of overseas visitors. He lauded the airline’s commitment to providing a convenient and affordable travel experience, making Las Vegas more accessible to a wider audience.
As Norse Atlantic continues to expand its global footprint, the airline remains dedicated to connecting key transatlantic destinations with affordable, high-quality air travel. The addition of Las Vegas to its network reinforces the airline’s commitment to making travel accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
To ensure a comfortable and relaxing travel experience, Norse Atlantic exclusively operates modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The spacious cabins provide passengers with a range of amenities, including personal, state-of-the-art entertainment systems. The airline’s Norse Premium cabin features industry-leading 43” seat pitch and 12” recline, allowing passengers to arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore.
