Norwegian has launched its first route from London Gatwick to Asia, with a special themed celebration to mark the carrier’s inaugural flight to Singapore.
The new 12-hour 45-minute flight from London Gatwick to Singapore Changi Airport is now the world’s longest route operated by a low-cost airline, covering 10,885 kilometres using brand new, state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
Today’s gate celebration at Gatwick Airport gave passengers an entertaining taste of Singapore with lion dance performances, colourful kebaya dress and traditional Singaporean cuisine and refreshments to enjoy.
Norwegian opened the new route alongside Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate and Tan Yen Nee, European regional director at Singapore Tourism Board.
Norwegian’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners are designed for comfort as all passengers have personal 11-inch seat back screens offering a wide selection of complimentary inflight entertainment.
