There’s an exciting new way to get from Denver to London!
On April 5, 2017, Mayor Michael B. Hancock, Denver International Airport (DEN) and Norwegian announced that the airline will begin offering nonstop service from Denver to London/Gatwick beginning Sept. 16, 2017. This is the first time since 2012 that DEN has announced a new foreign-flag carrier.
The new service will operate twice a week, on Saturdays and Tuesdays, through Oct. 28. Starting on Nov. 2, the service will increase to three times a week, with an additional flight on Thursdays. The flight is scheduled to arrive at DEN at 12:40 p.m. and depart DEN at 2:40 p.m. It will operate using a Boeing 787-9 with 344 seats, only the second carrier at DEN to operate this aircraft.
Currently, nearly 400 people a day travel between Denver and London, ranking London as Denver’s largest long-haul market, and second-largest international market – only Cancun, Mexico, generates more demand.
From an economic standpoint, the United Kingdom ranks as the Colorado’s largest foreign investor, and the commercial relationship between Colorado and the United Kingdom generated over $400 million in trade in 2016. Norwegian’s new nonstop flight to London/Gatwick will bring more economic benefits by generating an estimated 655 new jobs and more than $75 million in annual economic impact to the State of Colorado. Nearly 80 percent of this impact is due to new visitors to Colorado.
With the addition of Norwegian, DEN is now served by 23 airlines including seven foreign-flag carriers that provide service to 21 international destinations in eight countries, and more than 180 total nonstop destinations.
Norwegian is the world’s sixth largest low-cost airline and carried 30 million passengers in 2016. The airline operates 450 routes to 150 destinations in Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Thailand, Caribbean and the U.S. Norwegian has a fleet of 120 aircraft, with an average age of 3.6 years, making it one of the world’s youngest fleets.
