New summer service will mean you can jet from Glasgow Airport to Norwegian Fjords

Buddies are being offered the first service between Glasgow Airport and the Norwegian city of Bergen.

Operated by Loganair, the twice-weekly summer service from Glasgow to“the Gateway to the Fjords of Norway”, the regional carrier will connect the two cities for the first time.

Tickets can be booked to travel on Mondays and Fridays up until August 28, with fares starting at £79.99 one way, including all taxes and charges plus a complimentary checked baggage allowance.

The route will be operated by a 50-seat Saab 2000 aircraft from Glasgow – the only link from Scotland’s Central Belt to the city.

Bergen is a European City of Culture and world heritage city.

The region combines nature, culture and interesting urban attractions.

Loganair managing director Jonathan Hinkles said:“It’s fantastic to be able to launch a new route from our main hub airport, connecting the West of Scotland with Norway’s second-largest city.

“We are operating this service seasonally for summer travellers and bookings have been strong. Bergen is the ideal holiday destination, famous for its colourful city centre, the Hanseatic Wharf, a fish market, and one of Norway’s biggest cultural events, the Bergen International Festival.”

Paul White, Glasgow Airport’s business development manager, said:“We are continually working to expand our route network.”
