Norwegian chief executive officer, Bjorn Kors says: “From Europe, the USA, Asia and now South America, our long-haul network is going global and the UK will continue to be at the heart of our ambitious plans for expansion.”

“We also see huge potential in the Argentinian market so this is not only a major milestone as our first South American route, it is also a first step towards ambitious plans for international and domestic growth in Argentina.”

UK transport minister, Lord Callanan says: “This will unlock new trade and tourism opportunities in UK and Argentina, which will boost our economies, provide more choice for consumers and open up new business links.”

“Britain is a global trading nation and this is an excellent example of government and industry working together to build and strengthen our connections with the world.”
