Norse Atlantic Airways will operate a new route between Manchester and Bangkok from November.
The service will launch on 26 November, operating once a week. Norse said there is ‘potential for expansion based on demand’.
CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen said: “This route has been waiting to happen, and we’re proud to be the ones making it a reality. Manchester is a key gateway to the North of England, and Bangkok is a magnet for adventure, business, and culture.
“Connecting the two cities is a natural next step for Norse as we continue to disrupt and expand in the long-haul space.”
Manchester Airport Managing Director Chris Woodroofe said: “Bangkok is one of the most exciting destinations on the planet – and is rightly one of the most popular. Many people from the region travel there every year but until now they have had to book connecting flights.
“This new route will make a huge difference by meaning people can get there directly from the UK’s global gateway in the North.”
Flights are on sale now.
