Norwegian, which already operates flights to the US from Gatwick, Copenhagen Oslo and Stockholm, will introduce long-haul flights from Paris CDG to New York’s JFK, Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale from July 2016.

Norwegian already operates short-haul flights from Paris’ Orly airport but these will be the first routes from Charles de Gaulle.

Bjorn Kjos, the airline’s chief executive and founder, said: “In less than three years since the launch of our long-haul operations, Norwegian has built a network of 38 non-stop routes between Europe and the US - more than any other European airline.

“The choice of Paris as our fifth European long-haul capital clearly underlines our commitment to France. Paris is one of Europe’s main gateways, and we see great potential to expand at Charles de Gaulle airport in the future, adding more long-haul routes as well as more frequencies.”

Norwegian will operate Paris-New York flights four times per week from July 29, while the Los Angeles route will run twice weekly from July 30 and the Fort Lauderdale service will be weekly from August 4.

The airline will use Boeing 787 Dreamliners on each route with 291 seats including 32 in its premium cabin.
