Norwegian Air Shuttle, one of Europe’s leading low-cost carriers, has unveiled exciting news for travelers seeking sun-kissed escapes. The airline has announced the reopening of its base in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (LPA), situated in the picturesque Canary Islands. The move comes just in time for the upcoming winter season, signaling a significant expansion of Norwegian’s operations in the region.
The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago nestled off the coast of North Africa, have long been a favorite holiday destination for tourists from across the globe. With its year-round pleasant climate, stunning beaches, and diverse landscapes, the islands have consistently attracted travelers seeking relaxation and adventure alike. For Norwegian Air Shuttle, this reopening marks a strategic decision to tap into the potential of this thriving tourism hub, particularly within its core Nordic markets.
Central to Norwegian’s plans are the deployment of two Boeing 737 aircraft to Las Palmas, dedicated to serving destinations primarily in Scandinavia. This move underscores the airline’s commitment to providing convenient and affordable travel options for Nordic travelers eager to explore the charms of the Canary Islands.
Among the confirmed destinations to be served from the Las Palmas base are Stockholm (ARN) and Gothenburg-Landvetter (GOT) in Sweden, and Oslo (OSL) and Torp-Sandefjord (TRF) in Norway. These cities represent key hubs within Norwegian’s network, connecting travelers to a wide range of domestic and international destinations.
The reopening of the Las Palmas base not only strengthens Norwegian’s presence in the Canary Islands but also enhances connectivity between Scandinavia and this sought-after holiday destination. By offering direct flights from Las Palmas to major cities in Sweden and Norway, Norwegian aims to facilitate seamless travel experiences for both leisure and business travelers alike.
