Norwegian Air Shuttle operates "long-haul" flights to Asia and the United States through a fully owned subsidiary Norwegian Long Haul AS which operates an all-Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. Norwegian Long Haul is registered in Norway, and is managed by Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA from its head office at Fornebu. Norwegian Long Haul does not operate any routes itself, but instead its capacity is used to operate the routes of parent company Norwegian Air Shuttle (IATA code DY) to Asia and North America.
Formed in January 2012 by Norwegian Air Shuttle to start long-haul operations, the company commenced transatlantic flights on 30 May 2013. The first scheduled flights were from Oslo and to New York City and Bangkok, originally with wet-leased A340-300 aircraft while the airline awaited delivery of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. In March 2013 Norwegian Air Shuttle confirmed a new long haul route from Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm to Fort Lauderdale, beginning on 29 November 2013. Norwegian has also (in September 2013) announced flights from Stockholm to Oakland and Los Angeles beginning May 2014, and also Copenhagen-Los Angeles, Copenhagen-New York, Oslo-Oakland, Oslo-Los Angeles, and Oslo-Orlando. Flights from London Gatwick to New York, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale were announced in October 2013, with service on these routes to commence in July 2014. The airline announced in April 2015, the beginning of flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico from Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm and London Gatwick beginning in November 2015. Also announced were flights to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands from Copenhagen beginning on November 6, 2015. Permission for thrice-weekly flights between Cork and Boston has been sought in 2015.
In July 2016, the airline launched flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to New York City (John F. Kennedy International Airport), Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale.
