Norse Atlantic Airways is expanding its Winter 2026/27 Thailand programme, increasing capacity departing from the UK, Norway and Sweden in response to continued customer demand for Southeast Asia travel. The carrier is also drawing on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft returned by IndiGo, enabling additional flying to Thailand.
