Norwegian’s routes between Scandinavia and New York have been very well received, and I am looking forward to welcoming even more Americans on board our brand new Dreamliners on our non-stop service to Bergen,” said CEO Bjorn Kjos.
“As mayor of the beautiful city of Bergen, I am very happy about Norwegian’s new route between Bergen and New York. This service brings our continents closer and will benefit the local trade and industry as well as tourism. The U.S. is a big market for us and Norwegian impresses me with its willingness to take on new challenges,” said Mayor Trude Drevland of Bergen.
