Norse Atlantic will also launch flights between Oslo and Bangkok twice a week from November 2 as part of its winter timetable.

Chief executive Bjorn Tore Larsen said: “We are very pleased to announce the launch of these new winter sun routes from London Gatwick. 

“More travellers will now be able to experience these amazing destinations thanks to our low fares and those wishing to reunite with friends and family will have greater choice during this traditionally high demand period of travel. 

“This winter Norse Atlantic will proudly become the second largest long-haul carrier at London Gatwick by seat capacity.”

“Having more opportunities for passengers to enjoy some winter sun in Barbados and Jamaica, at fantastic value, is great news for people across London and the southeast.”
