Loganair Launched a New Service from Newcastle to Bergen

Loganair has launched a new trip from Newcastle to Bergen as part of its efforts to reintroduce direct flights to Norway from the North East.

The regional airline, which resumed service to Stavanger from Newcastle on Monday, will begin flights to Bergen on 21st May.

Greig White, Loganair’s UK sales manager, stated that the new Bergen service would “further improve relations between Newcastle and Norway.”

He stated:  “We’ve been working hard with the travel trade across the northeast to showcase just some of the amazing leisure opportunities available in Bergen – it really is a spectacular part of the world and now more accessible than ever.”

Loganair suspended flights to Norway owing to the pandemic, but resumed them this week from Edinburgh, with intentions to launch Aberdeen-Oslo Gardermoen services in September.

“We know the business community has long awaited the return of our route between Newcastle and Stavanger”, White continued.  “It’s an important connection for the energy industry in both northeast England and Stavanger and we are delighted to be able to bring it back after a pause during the pandemic.”

As part of Loganair’s GreenSkies sustainable flying program, fares to Stavanger and Bergen will begin at £100.94, including a 15kg hold luggage allowance and an obligatory carbon offset charge.

Over the last two years, the airline has expanded its flying network to include flights to Jersey. Earlier this year, it also added interline agreements with Singapore Airlines, Finnair, and Ethiopian Airlines.
