The inaugural service between London Gatwick and Cape Town landed yesterday with both Premium and Economy cabins fully booked
As the airline continues its global expansion to connect key markets, the sold-out success of this new service highlights the scale of demand for this highly anticipated route which will now operate up to three times per week.
The maiden journey was marked with speeches by Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO and founder of Norse Atlantic Airways; Stephanie Wear, vice president of aviation development; and Dineo Mathlako, Deputy High Commissioner of South Africa to the UK, celebrating the significance of the connecting route.
Bjørn Tore Larsen said, “We’re thrilled with the amazing response to our new London to Cape Town route. A fully sold-out inaugural flight shows just how much people want affordable, direct long-haul travel. Cape Town is a beautiful destination, and we’re excited to offer our passengers the chance to visit while enjoying great value and comfort.”
Travellers can enjoy fares from £219 return from London Gatwick to Cape Town aboard Norse’s modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
