Widerøe opens a new route between Bergen and Liverpool. August 17, kick off! Scandinavian football supporters get a faster and easier way into the heart of English football. Just a button football game away.
“We know that we are being well received by many football-loving Westerners. Over the years, we have had a dialogue with Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) on an airplane route to Norway, and share the pleasure that Widerøe now opens a direct route between Bergen and Liverpool. Liverpool is big at football, but the city has so much more. The city is also a mecca for history, music and shopping, says Tore Hansen, general manager of Liverpool FC Supporters Club Norway.
On the two weekly tours between Bergen and Liverpool, Widerøe will use the company’s new regional jet, Embraer E190-E2 with 114 seats. The route is the only direct route to Liverpool from Scandinavia.
“We are very pleased that Scandinavia’s largest regional airline chooses to create a new route between Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Bergen,” said John Irving, Managing Director of LJLA. The two weekly tours will give passengers from all over North England a great way to visit Bergen, as well as further access to the fjords and the popular cruise market from there. At the same time, this opens for travelers from all over Norway to visit Liverpool and the northwestern region of England through the region’s fast, easy and friendlier airport, “he concluded.
“We look forward to joining Liverpool and Bergen closer together with our new route. A variety of historical experiences, impressive architecture, shopping and music await our passengers just a flight away. The region is boasting soccer enthusiasm and the airport is an excellent starting point, either supporting the city’s heroes Liverpool FC, Everton FC or neighboring Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC, says Widerøe Commercial Director Christian Skaug.
