Norse Atlantic Airways is turning its eyes east, with plans to launch a London Gatwick to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi service.
Norse will operate the new service from London Gatwick to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. It will launch on Sunday, 26th October 2025. Flights will operate up to four times weekly, with return fares starting from £295 including taxes – initially operating two days per week, then going the full four days a week from the 30th November 2025
In addition, the airline is ramping up its Nordics to Bangkok services.
The current weekly flights between Stockholm Arlanda and Bangkok will increase from two to four starting Friday, 5th December 2025, with one-way fares starting from SEK 3546 including taxes.
Meanwhile, Flights between Oslo and Bangkok will increase from three to four times weekly beginning Wednesday, 3rd December 2025 with one-way fares from NOK 2578 including taxes.
All routes are operated by a Norse Atlantic Boeing 787-9, with Premium Economy and Economy Class cabins
Bjørn Tore Larsen, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Norse Atlantic Airways said:
“We’re excited to launch direct flights between London Gatwick and Bangkok, a top choice among our travelers. This addition not only strengthens our existing network between Asia but also builds on our routes from London Gatwick to destinations across the Atlantic and South Africa. For us it’s all about offering more travel options at great prices without compromising on comfort and service for those looking to enjoy a beautiful and warm winter sunshine destination,”

Building options… as well as challenges
Norse Atlantic is building out its UK operation, with the airline operating flights across the Atlantic and to South Africa, and now to include Asia. The introduction of this service marks a significant expansion of the airline’s operations in the UK market.
However, to make the operation work (given how Norse loves to sublease its fleet), the London Gatwick – Miami service is being dropped for the season it seems.
The bigger challenge is the London to Bangkok market, with EVA Air, Thai Airways International operating from Heathrow, and British Airways operating from Gatwick (which itself has struggled with the London – Bangkok route for years).
Norse will bring low prices and such to the route to stimulate demand. We’ll have to see if people rise to the offer given…
