Widerøe and Lufthansa sign new codeshare agreement

Lufthansa and Norwegian airline Widerøe have signed a codeshare agreement, which will become effective from September 1, 2024. The agreement will see 11 of Widerøe’s routes to Norwegian cities such as Bergen, Trondheim, and Tromsø, connected with a Lufthansa flight to its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. “We are very pleased to be able to collaborate with Widerøe. We want to get as close as possible to our customers’ ‘doorsteps’, especially in Norway,” said Flemming Nordestgaard, general manager Norway and Denmark, Lufthansa Group. He continued: “Over the past few years, we have increased the capacity of the Lufthansa Group by 26 percent. Now, with Widerøe, we can offer Lufthansa tickets to many more regional and smaller airports across Norway.” Lufthansa’s airlines have already expanded their own network in Norway in recent years, offering flights to five major airports in Norway this summer with more than 90 connections each week. Christian Skaug, commercial director at Widerøe added: “The codeshare agreement makes it possible for Lufthansa’s customers to travel seamlessly domestically and internationally when they book flights to and from our unique and popular destinations. This partnership will benefit both Lufthansa Group’s and Widerøe’s customers.” Lufthansa’s codeshare flight number will be placed on 69 Widerøe-operated flights.
