New flights from Newcastle Airport to Copenhagen have become one of Norwegian’s best-selling routes for summer 2025.
The airline, one of Europe's leading low-cost carriers, will operate twice-weekly flights to the Danish capital every Friday and Monday from 2 May.
With convenient departure times and a total flight duration of under two hours, the new service provides passengers with the perfect opportunity to experience the award-winning city over a long weekend or week-long trip.
It's an exciting new city-break destination from the Airport, which was named Best in the World at the 2024 Routes World Conference, and comes after a record number of UK travellers visited Denmark last year, with more than 1.1 million overnight stays – a 17% rise from 2023.
Copenhagen has been named as one of the world’s top cities to visit in 2025 by global media company Time Out and offers something for everyone.
Nyhavn, the city’s vibrant 17th-century waterfront lined with colourful townhouses and bustling bars and restaurants, is ideal for a scenic walk, bite to eat or a canal tour.
Discover the city’s royal heritage by exploring the historic Rosenborg Castle, take in panoramic city views from the Round Tower or visit the beloved Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale.
No visit to Copenhagen is complete without a trip to the world-famous amusement park Tivoli Gardens, where families can enjoy thrilling rides, enchanting gardens, live performances and dazzling light shows.
Food lovers are also in for a treat as the city’s culinary scene is among the best in the world, boasting everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to street food markets, promising a taste experience like no other.
Chris Ion, Head of Aviation Development at Newcastle Airport, said: “We’ve seen a fantastic response from customers following the announcement of Norwegian’s new flights between Newcastle and Copenhagen and look forward to these taking off in May.
“With record-breaking numbers of British travellers choosing to visit Denmark, we are delighted people from the North East can now experience Denmark and everything this amazing country has the offer this summer, flying directly from their local airport.”

“We look forward to welcoming passengers on board when the first flight takes off in May. At the same time, we are excited to bring Danish travellers to Newcastle – a fantastic new destination with so much to offer.”
