Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is introducing a new direct service from Stavanger to Manchester.
The service will be operating all year round, with two departures a week.
SAS has said it is steadily expanding its direct services to Manchester in line with the increase in demand for trips to the British Isles and the interest in English football in particular.
Football clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Leeds United have large groups of supporters in Norway and direct flights to Manchester Airport make it easy to get to the big football fixtures in the region quickly.
SAS also flies to Manchester from Oslo and Bergen, as well as several daily flights between Oslo and London. SAS has a total of 49 flights a week to Manchester from Scandinavia in its winter schedule.
The direct flight from Stavanger to Manchester will operate twice a week, Monday and Friday, the service will be operated with Boeing 737 aircraft. First departure from Stavanger is 8 November.
