Norwegian Air plans new routes from London to South America
Norwegian Air plans to serve new destinations in South America from London, prompted by strong demand for flights to Buenos Aires which begin this week as it ramps up its budget operation on long-haul routes. Norwegian's South American expansion plans could open up a new front in the transatlantic travel battle between budget carriers and traditional long-haul players. "I can assure you that the UK will get more routes into South America than Buenos Aires," CEO Bjorn Kjos said Tuesday. Norwegian also announced that from 2020 it would use eight new single-aisle Airbus A321neoLRs, currently undergoing test flights including across the Atlantic, to fly from Britain to cities on the US east coast and in the mid-west, keeping up the pressure on established airlines. <br/>
