Norwegian Air Shuttle Profile

Norwegian opened a new base at Copenhagen on 29-Oct and announced the start-up of a number of new routes, which will all be in operation by the turn of the year. An additional 12 routes out of Denmark will now be added, 11 of which will be out of CPH.


Norwegian’s CEO, Bjorn Kjos said, “The first Danish routes have been very well received, and we are therefore very pleased to announce the opening of an additional 12 routes in the new year. As the largest low-cost carrier in Denmark with 18 routes, we look forward to flying Danes on holiday in 2009.”
 
Carsten Norland, Aviation Director at Copenhagen Airports A/S said, “As everybody knows, we have been working hard to close the gap after Sterling’s bankruptcy, and we were therefore pleased to present 159 new weekly frequencies out of CPH in the first two weeks after the bankruptcy. In particular, we are pleased that Norwegian will fly to attractive new destinations such as Pisa, Split, Krakow and Heraklion.”
