If this does take off (pardon the pun), I'm pretty much expecting Norwegian in all but name tbh. Will probably even make use of ex Norwegian 787's

Norse Atlantic to link London Gatwick and US in 2022 - union

Norse Atlantic Airways (N0, Oslo Gardermoen) is due to start operating from London Gatwick when it launches operations between Europe and the United States in...

www.ch-aviation.com

Norse Atlantic Airways responded to ch-aviation’s request for comment by saying: “We have made no announcements about a potential LGW start-up. However, we have said that London is an interesting market for Norse, which is why the company has talks with local unions.”

It looks to me that the Union has "Jumped the gun". I hope it doesn't affect the future of services from LGW.

Putting here as J2 is a Leeds based company after all...

Diversifying this winter to have a seasonal LGW base. Charter / Ski & Lapland flights by the looks with up to 3 aircraft (800's) required at times.

List of loaded routes posted in the LGW forum.

With BA also announcing it is pulling the plug on LGW short haul, I cant help but wonder if this winter dalliance may blossom. I am sure LGW management will be hoping so and a huge chunk of the routes BA are exiting from are Jet2 staples.

Good to see them securing extra market capacity as we enter the winter.

Yes here it is in a tweet.
