The low-cost long-haul carrier revealed its full winter schedule on Monday (July 16).

Flights will commence October 31, pending delivery of its full Airbus A321neo fleet, which has been blighted by delays.

Besides New York, Primera will launch a new four-times weekly Washington DC route on August 22 and continue its three-times weekly Toronto service.

Its seasonal Stansted-Boston route will return in early 2019.

Anastasija Visnakova, Primera chief commercial officer, said: “The demand we’ve seen so far shows there is a lot of interest in the catchment area of Stansted.

“There is clearly a huge amount of appetite for low-fare transatlantic flights and we’ve seen more than 70,000 passengers booking flights on our new transatlantic routes.

“This gives us great encouragement to build on the existing routes throughout winter and continue to run a daily operation between London Stansted and New York.”

Mark Souter, Stansted head of aviation, added: “We’re delighted Primera Air is continuing its popular daily service to New York over the winter period, as well as the existing Stansted-Toronto route.

“We have seen strong demand from customers on the New York route since its introduction earlier this year and we look forward to continuing to welcome Primera passengers at London Stansted.”
