Norwegian strengthens its presence in the UK with a new route from Edinburgh to Billund in Denmark, making it the airline’s fourth direct connection from the Scottish capital to the Nordics.
“The direct route will make it easier for Danes to experience history, culture, cuisine, and the stunning landscapes of Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands – an unforgettable travel experience. Likewise, we hope to welcome on board many Scots travelling to Billund, one of the most popular family destinations in Scandinavia, known for its many attractions and famous theme parks. It is home to LEGOLAND, making it a dream holiday destination for families,” said Magnus Thome Maursund, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian.
The route between Edinburgh and Billund is one of ten new routes Norwegian is launching from Billund to popular destinations across Europe. Norwegian sees significant potential in Billund and the surrounding region, which is both an attractive destination for travellers from around the world and an area with a strong and active business community. At the same time, this expansion sends a clear signal of the company’s commitment to Denmark.
Billund is located in the heart of Jutland and is known as Denmark’s capital of play and creativity. The city is home to LEGOLAND®, one of the country’s most visited attractions, drawing millions of visitors each year. In addition, Billund boasts the LEGO® House – an interactive experience centre dedicated to the iconic building bricks. The town also offers family-friendly waterparks, wildlife zoos, and scenic countryside perfect for cycling and outdoor activities. With a modern airport and excellent connections, Billund serves as a gateway to the wider Jutland region. For both families and travellers seeking culture, fun, and relaxation, Billund has become a must-visit destination in Northern Europe.
In September, Norwegian launched its summer programme with increased capacity between the UK and the Nordic countries, offering direct year-round flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Newcastle to Nordic capitals and key cities.
