Norwegian is set to start a new route between London Gatwick Airport and Harstad-Narvik Airport in Evenes, Northern Norway.
The area attracts thousands of visitors to experience the northern lights and beautiful Arctic wilderness and the launch of this new route also connects residents of Northern Norway to the south of England, including the UK's bustling capital, London.
Harstad-Narvik airport in Evenes gives easy access to some of Northern Norway’s most beautiful areas like the Lofoten islands. This northerly region has become a year-round destination for nature lovers with its cooler summers and midnight sun making hiking conditions ideal to experience the jaw-droppingly beautiful nature. The winter season gives visitors the best opportunity to experience the northern lights in the cold, dark Arctic skies.
“We are excited about Norwegian’s new flight route from from London Gatwick to Harstad-Narvik airport in Evenes. Evenes serves as the gateway to the stunning beauty of the Lofoten region, the international ski resort Narvikfjellet, the unique whale experiences in VesterĂ¥len, and much more. These new routes will provide easier access to this region's natural beauty and extraordinary attractions. We anticipate this will boost year-round tourism and positively impact on our local economy, representing a significant milestone for our community. Additionally, these routes will offer locals a never-before-seen access to these popular destinations”, said Vegeir Selboe, Marketing Manager in Destination Lofoten.
The new route between London Gatwick airport and Harstad-Narvik airport in Evenes will operate with a weekly departure on Saturdays from 2 November during the winter season.
“Narvik was just selected as the host city for the FIS Alpine World Cup Ski Championships in 2029. Narvik sits inside the Arctic circle and offers a unique skiing experience with amazing vistas of fjords, and slopes to suit the demands of all skiers,” said Magnus Thome Maursund.
Norwegian has also launched a new direct route between Harstad-Narvik airport in Evenes and Bergamo/Milano in Italy for the upcoming winter season. These new routes from Harstad-Narvik airport in Evenes are in addition to the previously announced direct route to Palma del Mallorca in Spain for the summer season. Norwegian also operates year around direct flights between Evenes and Oslo, and between Evenes and Bergen during the summer season.
