Newcastle - Bergen service back for the summer
27.03.11
Eastern Airways’ Bergen service from Newcastle Airport restarts tomorrow (Monday March 28) for the summer season. The daily weekday non-stop service has a 10:30 departure from Newcastle, arriving in Bergen at 13:35. Flights leave Bergen at 14:30 and land in Newcastle at 15:35 (all times local).
The busy heliport at Bergen Flesland Airport serves the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry. Norway’s second largest city is also the gateway to the fjords and the air services will link with onward cruises.
Kay Ryan, Eastern Airways’ commercial director, said: ‘The re-introduction of our Bergen summer service demonstrates our continued support for Newcastle, which is our second largest base in the UK. Offshore workers and business travellers will be able to take advantage of this convenient non-stop service. Bergen has had strong links with the north east for many years and is also a popular short break destination for those visiting the city.’
