Direct flights from Edinburgh to New York could cost just GBP60
Scots could be able to fly to the US for less than GBP60 from next summer, the CE of Norwegian Air has said. Bjorn Kjos said the airline is investing in new aircraft that is cheaper to run and more fuel efficient. Norwegian will take delivery of 6 new Boeing 737MAX aircrafts in April. These will be used to launch a new direct service from Edinburgh to New York a few months later with prices as low as US$69 (GBP56). Norwegian currently operates services twice a day from Gatwick to New York with prices starting from GBP125 for a single journey. “Our planes are very, very fuel efficient. We have a totally different set up to other airlines. The Boeing 737MAX has a very modern engine, which means it can go for a longer distance. We’ll also be flying to secondary airports in New York.” <br/>
