History[edit]

In November 2015, the British civil aviation authorities issued Norwegian Air UK its air operator's certificate.[2] The following month, the airline applied to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for an exemption and a permit to begin flights to the country. In June 2016, however, the USDOT denied Norwegian Air UK's request for an exemption, which would have allowed the airline to start flights to the United States while its foreign air-carrier permit (FACP) remained under review.[3] Meanwhile, the department placed the airline's application for a FACP on hold. The USDOT stated that it needed more time to review issues raised by various labour unions, such as the claim that Norwegian Air UK would violate labour laws by employing flight crew based in East Asia.[4] In July 2017, the USDOT approved Norwegian Air UK's application for its foreign air-carrier permit, citing commitments to hire crew based in the United States and the EU.[5]
The airline's first services under its own air operator's certificate and IATA/ICAO codes (DI and NRS) were from Oslo Gardermoen to Barcelona, Málaga and Nice and from London Gatwick to Singapore in September 2017,[6][7] and from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires Ezeiza in February 2018.[8] From 25 March 2018, the airline began operating the rest of the Norwegian group's long haul routes from London Gatwick to the United States, which were previously operated by its parent company Norwegian Air Shuttle.[9]
