Easyjet and Norwegian Air launch cooperation

easyJet‘s European routes to connect with Norwegian‘s long-haul Network as airlines partner.

Passengers will be able to book an easyJet short-haul flight and self-connect to a Norwegian long-haul flight in one simple transaction.

Norwegian, the World’s Best Low-Cost Long-Haul Airline for the third consecutive year and Europe’s Best Low-Cost Airline for the fifth consecutive year, announced its partnership with British low-cost carrier easyJet, allowing passengers to connect a Norwegian long-haul flight with an easyJet short-haul flight in one single booking.

Launch of “Worldwide by easyJet”

Launched by easyJet, ‘Worldwide by easyJet’ allows passengers to seamlessly connect their easyJet flight with other partner airline flights, including Norwegian’s fast-growing network of affordable long-haul flights from the U.S, Asia and South America.

With seats available on easyJet.com, the ‘Worldwide by easyJet’ service will initially focus on routes at London Gatwick Airport, using the airport’s ‘Gatwick Connects’ product. easyJet then expects the service to expand to other key airports in Europe in future, including airports where Norwegian also offers long-haul connections such as Paris Charles De Gaulle and Barcelona.

“The way we have designed Worldwide by easyJet means that we can profitably access a major new pool of customers without undermining easyJet’s operating model and industry leading punctuality. We know there is a real customer demand for making flight connections on easyJet easier. We are delighted with the partners who have signed up for our launch today. We are confident it will be popular with customers and look forward to announcing more partners in the near future,” said Peter Duffy, Chief Commercial Office for easyJet.

“Travel should be affordable for all so we are delighted to partner with another quality low-cost airline like easyJet to offer passengers even more choice. We already see a large number of passengers making connections between Norwegian’s own long-haul and short-haul networks and we welcome initiatives like ‘Worldwide by easyJet’ that give customers even more opportunities for affordable transfers between flights,” said Thomas Ramdahl, Norwegian Chief Commercial Officer.
