Norwegian to Serve Tel Aviv from Stockholm Base

Nordic budget carrier Norwegian is to further expand its network from Stockholm Arlanda in addition to its new routes to Berlin Schoenefeld, Prague and Visby, announced last week. From June 26 the airline will offer a weekly rotation to Tel Aviv, a link that is expected to continue until the end of the Northern Summer schedules.

Norwegian does not currently serve Tel Aviv from any of its Scandinavian bases, although Arkia has operated direct flights between the two cities in the past year when around 35,000 O&D passengers have travelled. The majority of these are currently flying via Frankfurt and Vienna, and although this is likely to continue across the summer, Norwegian’s new flight will offer an alternative and faster link between the two cities.

As reported last week, Norwegian is the second largest carrier at Stockholm Arlanda, providing more than 250 weekly flights and over 45,000 seats per week from the airport to 30 destinations from this month, accounting for just under a quarter of its seat capacity.

Schedule:
