Norse Atlantic Airways announced a brand-new route connecting Las Vegas to London Gatwick Airport later this year. The flights will operate three days a week, starting September 12.
Flights will depart London Gatwick Airport at 12pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, arriving into Harry Reid International Airport at 2:40pm, with the return flight leaving Las Vegas at 4:45pm and arriving back into London at 10:35am the following day.
Norse Atlantic Airways is an airline that offers affordable fares on long-haul flights, primarily between Europe and the United States with a fleet of 15 modern, fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Norse will compete with British Airways from Gatwick and Heathrow on this route, as well as Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow. Gatwick Airport is about a 30-minute train ride to the center of London.
“We are excited to introduce this new route from London Gatwick to Las Vegas, a unique city that offers unparalleled diversity, boasting an abundance of entertainment, dining, and recreational options to suit every taste. For those seeking breathtaking natural landscapes, including nearby national parks such as the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and Valley of Fire State Park, this destination is also an explorer’s paradise,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder Norse Atlantic Airways.
“We look forward to welcoming Norse Atlantic Airways to Las Vegas for the first time this September with this new route from the United Kingdom, our number one source of overseas visitation,” said Steve Hill, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, “The addition of convenient flight options ensures more business and leisure travelers can readily access our dynamic and ever-evolving city and experience everything the destination has to offer.”
