“A market that is increasingly important and to which we are gradually returning after the pandemic.

“We hope to increase connectivity with the Canary Islands, increasingly popular among Norwegian travelers, as well as open more connections to the north so that Spaniards can continue enjoying the wild nature of the Nordic countries.”
