London Stansted is get a new link to Bergen in Norway when Widerøe opens a twice-weekly service in March 2023.
Bergen is Norway's country’s second largest city and is known for its Bryggen harbour district, one of Europe's oldest ports, and as the gateway to Norwegian fjords.
“This new route makes a beautiful region of Norway more accessible to UK travellers as well as being an important route for business, especially the energy industry in Norway and the East of England," said Simon Gorrighan, Stansted’s aviation director.
Other additions to the destinations reachable from Stansted include Ryanair's summer 2023 flights to Belfast, Newquay, Edinburgh, Asturias, Klagenfurt, and Leipzig. Emirates is launching a second daily service to Dubai on May 1 and Jet2 is adding new flights to Rome and Athens.
“We are very pleased to be flying to London Stansted from 26th March and being able to maintain London as part of our route map," said Christian Skaug, commercial director at Widerøe, a Scandinavian regional carrier.
