Norwegian has added Argentina to its low-cost long-haul network from Gatwick.
The new direct route to Buenos Aires will start in February 2018, with fares from £299 one-way. Premium fares start at £699 one-way.
The year-round service will operate four-times weekly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The service will become the airline’s 11th long-haul route from Gatwick as part of continued expansion from the UK into a range of new markets.
Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos has said this route is the “first step” towards plans for international and domestic growth in Argentina.
“From Europe, the USA, Asia and now South America, our long-haul network is going global and the UK will continue to be at the heart of our ambitious plans for expansion,” said Kjos.
Gatwick Airport CEO Stewart Wingate said: “Norwegian’s new direct route to Buenos Aires shows that the low cost long haul revolution continues to break new ground.
“The boom in these routes is a major factor in Gatwick recording the second largest increase in direct connectivity of any European airport over the last five years,” he said.
