New route: Birmingham Airport will offer direct flights to 'vibrant' and 'fresh' Norwegian city

Jet2.com, a leading airline, is set to commence flights from Birmingham Airport to a city in Norway next month.

This marks the first time in over 15 years that Jet2 has operated flights to Bergen.

Bergen, known as the gateway to the fjords, is a city that’s renowned for its vibrant urban life, surrounded by nature.

From the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf to the panoramic views atop Mount Fløyen, Bergen is a blend of cultural richness and natural splendour.

The proximity to some of Norway’s most famous fjords, such as the Sognefjord and the Nærøyfjord, positions Bergen as an ideal destination for those seeking to explore the great outdoors.

What’s new with Jet2CityBreaks?

A new programme of spring flights and city breaks to Norway from Jet2CityBreaks has been driven by increasing customer demand for more discovery-based experience holidays.

The airline’s customers can choose from a flight-only option with Jet2.com or a package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks.

Package holidays to Bergen are part of a growing product range called Discover More. Designed to cater to holidaymakers’ sense of adventure, the range includes options for non-family bookings, couples, and solo travellers.

Customers can choose from a flight-only option with Jet2.com or a package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks.

Steve Heapy, the Chief Executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, expressed his excitement about the new programme.

He said, “The addition of flights and packages to this jaw-dropping destination gives customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Fjords."

He further added, “Bergen is a stunning and vibrant city with something around every corner, and we expect this new programme to be extremely popular.”
