Low-cost airline Norwegian will offer direct flights from Newcastle Airport to Copenhagen for the first time this winter – perfect for those looking to explore the city’s famous Christmas markets.
Norwegian launched flights from Newcastle in May and due to strong customer demand, it will continue into the winter season with flights operating from October to January.
With fares starting from just £48.60 one-way and convenient weekend departure times, the service provides passengers with the perfect opportunity to explore the award-winning city over the festive season.
Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most vibrant and scenic cities thanks to its picturesque canals, charming cobblestone streets and rich history.
Visitors can immerse themselves in Nyhavn with its colourful townhouses, bars and restaurants, enjoy quality family time at the world-famous Tivoli Gardens or explore the city’s famous attractions, including the Little Mermaid statue and the Round Tower.
In the winter, Copenhagen transforms into a festive wonderland and its Christmas markets are filled with dazzling lights and beautifully decorated stalls offering handcrafted gifts and delicious food and drink, creating a truly enchanting experience.
Chris Ion, Head of Aviation Development at Newcastle Airport, said: “We have seen a fantastic response to Norwegian’s new flights from Newcastle to Copenhagen, which has been one of our most popular city-break destinations this year.
“We are delighted Norwegian has strengthened its commitment to Newcastle by extending its flights to Copenhagen into the winter season.
“It is a clear sign of how popular the new service has been with our passengers and the strong demand for exciting city break destinations from our region.
“This extended schedule gives passengers even more choice to visit Denmark and we look forward to welcoming more Danish visitors to North East England.”
Sara Neergaard, Country Director at Norwegian, said: “We’re thrilled to see such strong demand for our Newcastle–Copenhagen route in just a few months since launch.
“The extension of the route into winter with an attractive schedule perfect for both weekend breaks and longer stays offers a perfect opportunity for both British travellers to experience Copenhagen’s charm, and for Danes to discover Newcastle’s vibrant culture, history and hospitality.”
