Arendal, Norway, 19 June - Norse Atlantic Airways today announced a significant expansion of its Thailand program for Winter 2026/27, adding capacity across the UK, Norway and Sweden in response to continued strong customer demand for travel to Southeast Asia.

In addition, Norse Atlantic will continue to service popular Winter-Sun destinations, such as routes between London Gatwick (LGW) to Bangkok (BKK) and Cape Town (CPT) throughout the season.
