Paul Simmons, easyJet’s UK Director, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be landing in Norway today for the very first time. Bergen is a fantastic city offering something for everyone with its beautiful mountain scenery and coastal setting coupled with a vibrant music and arts scene and a city steeped in history. With the addition of this new route easyJet plans to fly more than half a million passengers each year between the UK and Scandinavia.”

Mayor of Bergen Mrs Trude Drevland welcomed the announcement:

“We are very pleased that easyJet is starting up Bergen - London. Bergen is well known as the Gateway to the Fjords of Norway and we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of tourists to our beautiful region.”

Airport Manager of Bergen Airport Mrs Adelheid Nes, added:
