LOW-COST airline Norwegian is launching flights from Manchester to three popular Spanish destinations in time for summer.

Two weekly flights will take off from Manchester to Barcelona from the end of April, four weekly flights will depart Manchester to Malaga and two weekly flights to Alicante will start June.

With new aircraft and free in-flight Wi-Fi, we are providing sun seeking Brits throughout the UK with high quality and affordable flights to the most popular destinations.”

Stephen Turner, commercial director at Manchester Airport, said: “It is pleasing to see Norwegian expand its offering and route network from Manchester Airport, the UK Global Gateway from the north.”
