Norse Atlantic has launched its new direct route between London Gatwick and Las Vegas, with an inaugural flight on 12 September. The route will operate three times weekly and is served by Norse’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
“We are delighted to see such an incredible response to our new London to Las Vegas route,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, Norse Atlantic Airways CEO and founder. “The fact that the inaugural flight was completely sold out underscores the strong demand for affordable, direct transatlantic travel. Las Vegas is a destination like no other, and we are excited to offer our passengers the opportunity to experience the magic of this iconic city combined with exceptional value.”
The airline has been continuously expanding its network, with this announcement following a new London Gatwick – Cape Town route in April this year. Norse Atlantic currently has a fleet of seven Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
“Norse Atlantic Airways is an exciting addition to our airline carriers at Harry Reid International Airport,” said Rosemary Vassiliadis, Clark County Department of Aviation Director. “Domestic and international travel has been booming with more than 57.6 million passengers served in 2023, and the UK continues to be one of the top three international visitor markets to the destination. The addition of convenient flight options ensures more business and leisure travellers can enjoy the sports and entertainment capital of the world.”
“Congratulations to Norse Atlantic Airways on their inaugural flight from London to Las Vegas,” commented Steve Hill, CEO and President of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “We are thrilled to welcome Norse and this new route, which strengthens our connection with the UK, our number one source of overseas visitation. This Norse Atlantic flight offers travellers a convenient and affordable way to experience the world-class entertainment, dining, and attractions that make Las Vegas a global destination.”
