Norwegian is expanding its low-cost long-haul model with three new flights from Rome to the US.
The airline will launch services to Los Angeles, New York City/Newark and Oakland/San Francisco.
Rome will be the airline’s seventh long-haul destination served from the US following Barcelona, which will launch this June, Paris, London and thethree Scandinavian capitals of Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
Thomas Ramdahl, Norwegian’s chief commercial officer said: “Rome is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and a favourite among Americans, so it was an obvious choice for us as we continue to expand our transatlantic presence.
“Soon Norwegian will offer more transatlantic routes than any other airline in the world. More transatlantic routes mean we will create more US and European jobs and offer travellers even more affordable fares."
