Norwegian Air UK is a British airline owned by Norwegian Air Shuttle, flying scheduled services within Europe and North America and registered at London-Gatwick Airport. The airline operates Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 787-9 aircraft with a base at London Gatwick (LGW) in the United Kingdom.
In November 2015, ch-aviation reported that British civil aviation authorities had issued Norwegian Air UK its air operator's certificate. The following month, the airline applied to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for an exemption and a permit to begin flights to the country. In June 2016, however, the USDOT denied Norwegian Air UK's request for an exemption, which would have allowed the airline to start flights to the United States while its foreign air-carrier permit (FACP) remained under review. Meanwhile, the department placed the airline's application for a FACP on hold. The USDOT stated that it needed more time to review issues raised by various labour unions, such as the claim that Norwegian Air UK would violate labour laws by employing flight crew based in East Asia.
Norwegian Air UK is a subsidiary of Norwegian Air Shuttle.
The airline is based at Gatwick Airport in London.
As of March 2017, Norwegian Air UK operates the following aircraft:
