Norse Atlantic launches new UK-Thailand flights
Norse Atlantic Airways has kicked off new winter services from the UK to Thailand.
Flights from London Gatwick to Bangkok began at the weekend with up to five flights a week, and are followed next month with a weekly service from Manchester to the Thai capital.
Services from Stockholm began last week.
Overall, there are five new direct services from Europe launching in the coming weeks.
Chiravadee Khunsub, Tourism Authority of Thailand Deputy Governor for International Marketing – Europe, America, Middle East, and Africa, said: “The addition of these new routes reflects growing confidence in Thailand as a premier long-haul destination. This expansion provides travellers from the UK and Northern Europe with greater convenience and affordability.”
The Manchester–Bangkok service starts on 26 November 2025, operating weekly through March 2026.
Norse will also launch a new Stockholm–Phuket route on 4 December 2025 and Oslo–Phuket flights starting on 8 December 2025.
Both these new routes will operate weekly.
From January to September 2025, Thailand welcomed 757,000 visitors from the United Kingdom, up 13% year-on-year.
