Norwegian sets out April launch plans

Norwegian plans to launch direct Manchester–Billund flights on 1 April 2027, operating twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays. Manchester Airport says the service will use Terminal 2, with an approximate flight time of 95 minutes. The route forms part of Norwegian’s summer 2027 programme.

Norwegian announces Manchester–Billund route

Norwegian and Billund Airport published their announcements on 21 October 2026. Manchester Airport followed with its release on 23 October. Those publication dates are separate from the planned start of flying, which remains more than five months later.

There is a difference in how the announcements describe ticket availability. Norwegian’s announcement said bookings were available on 21 October. Manchester Airport’s release said tickets went on sale on 23 October.

Planned flight days, terminal and journey time for Manchester–Billund flights

The announced schedule for Manchester to Billund flights is twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, within Norwegian’s summer 2027 programme.

Manchester Airport’s route announcement names Terminal 2 and gives an approximate flight duration of one hour and 35 minutes. These are the arrangements reported on 23 October 2026, ahead of the planned launch.

What Billund Airport reports about previous travel

Billund Airport offers historical context for the proposed connection. In its announcement of 21 October 2026, it reports that almost 19,000 passengers travelled between Billund and Manchester using connecting flights during the preceding year.

The airport also says business travellers accounted for 53% of passengers between the destinations over the preceding 12 months. Both figures come from Billund Airport’s account of previous travel.

Billund’s figures describe connecting journeys before the planned direct service, rather than bookings for Norwegian’s new flights.
