Norwegian continues its expansion in Europe and with the opening of a new base of operations in Tenerife.

Along with the new crew base, Norwegian expands its Spanish route network by adding more destinations and frequencies.

The new base at Tenerife South Airport is Norwegian’s fourth base in Spain, along with Alicante, Malaga and Las Palmas.

“Our new base at Tenerife is established to meet the great demand for quality flights at a low fare between Europe and this beautiful island.

“We see a major passenger potential between Spain, Germany and UK.

“The great response to our routes between Spain and the Nordic also encourages us to increase frequencies to our existing route map,” says Norwegian chief executive Bjørn Kjos. 

Norwegian will open two new routes between Berlin and Gran Canaria and Tenerife starting on February 1st and 2nd, 2014, respectively.

The airline will also increase the number of flights between Hamburg and Malaga and Tenerife as well as between Malaga and Munich and Malaga and Köln.

From today until December 31st, Norwegian will operate three weekly flights between Malaga and London Gatwick as well as four weekly flights between Tenerife and London.

Norwegian will operate daily flights between Malaga and London from February 14th as well as Tenerife and London from January 31st.
