Norwegian, which this year became the only European budget airline to fly transatlantic routes, will fly to New York, Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale from London’s Gatwick airport, using Boeing 787 Dreamliners, it said on Thursday.

Reuters reported on Friday, that one-way tickets will start at £149 to New York and £199 to Los Angeles, offering an up to 50 per cent discount compared to the best fares from London’s Heathrow airport, Gatwick said in a statement.

“Gatwick is ideal because we have a lot of feeder flights in and out of there,” Norwegian chief executive Bjoern Kjos told a news conference. “Gatwick also has one of the biggest networks in Europe when you take all the easyJet and Ryanair traffic there. It will give us a lot of transfer traffic opportunities.”

Norwegian started flying to New York and Bangkok from its Scandinavian bases this year, saying its new Boeing 787s will save more than 20 per cent on fuel, making budget long-haul flights viable.
