Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA intends to launch a new flight from Logan International Airport to London’s Gatwick Airport in May. The airline will be the first carrier to fly nonstop between the two airports, according to the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan.
The low-cost airline will fly the route four times a week with new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners equipped with 35 premium economy and 309 economy seats. Norwegian said flights will go on sale later this year.
Last month Norwegian announced it will begin twice weekly seasonal service from Boston to two new Caribbean destinations, the Guadeloupe islands and Martinique, in December. The Norwegian flight will be 49th nonstop route Logan offers to international destinations.
