Route Type New Route

Norwegian has officially inaugurated nonstop service between Oslo and Zurich, adding a strategically significant link to its European network. The new route not only shortens travel time between Norway and Switzerland, but also establishes a direct air bridge between two dynamic centers of finance, tourism, and innovation.

The addition carries clear strategic weight as intra-European travel demand continues to grow. Oslo serves as the gateway to a Nordic economy shaped by energy, maritime industries, and green technology, while Zurich stands out as a global financial hub as well as a premium business and leisure destination. By entering this city pair, Norwegian enables passengers to optimize travel time, strengthens nonstop connectivity between two high-spending markets, and expands flexible options for both corporate and leisure travelers.

In the initial phase of operations, the airline is deploying two weekly roundtrips, with flights scheduled in midweek and over the weekend. The route is operated by Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, well suited to short- and medium-haul European demand while supporting efficient operations.

Oslo captivates with its blend of expansive Nordic nature and refined urban living. From its modern waterfront and maritime museums to its creative districts, the Norwegian capital offers an atmosphere that is both relaxing and forward-looking. From Oslo, travelers can also easily access Norway's famed fjord region, home to UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord, renowned for dramatic glacial landscapes and rare unspoiled beauty.

Zurich presents a harmonious balance of hallmark Swiss precision and historic charm along the Limmat River. The city appeals with its picturesque Old Town, upscale shopping boulevards, and deeply rooted arts scene. From Zurich, passengers can conveniently explore historic Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage site distinguished by its exceptionally well-preserved medieval urban fabric, reflecting Switzerland's history and identity in vivid detail.
