Norwegian Air to start new Edinburgh route in April

Norwegian Air is opening a new route from Edinburgh airport with flights to Billund in Denmark.

Starting in April, the service will operate until the end of October with three weekly flights.

The home of Legoland joins services from the Scottish capital to Copenhagen, Bergen, Oslo and Stockholm.

The new route is one of 10 being introduced from Billund to popular destinations across Europe.

A statement said: “Norwegian sees significant potential in Billund and the surrounding region, which is both an attractive destination for travellers from around the world and an area with a strong and active business community. At the same time, this expansion sends a clear signal of the company’s commitment to Denmark.”

The airline’s chief commercial officer Magnus Thome Maursund added: “The direct route will make it easier for Danes to experience history, culture, cuisine, and the stunning landscapes of Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands. 

“Likewise, we hope to welcome on board many Scots travelling to Billund, one of the most popular family destinations in Scandinavia, known for its many attractions and famous theme parks. 

“It is home to Legoland, making it a dream holiday destination for families.”
