Norwegian acquires 28 weekly slots at Gatwick

Norwegian has acquired 28 weekly slots at London Gatwick from Lithuanian leisure carrier Small Planet Airlines. Norwegian, which announced the slot purchase Wednesday, said planning is now underway to decide how the summer 2018 slots will be used. “London Gatwick is at the heart of our global growth ambitions, so securing these crucial new slots will allow us to offer our passengers even more new routes, additional flights and affordable fares. Together with the launch of new routes to Argentina, Chicago and Austin in 2018, gaining extra capacity at London Gatwick is another huge boost as we get ready for our biggest ever year in the UK,” Norwegian CCO Thomas Ramdahl said. Norwegian is the third-largest airline at London Gatwick, with 4.6m annual passengers. <br/>
