Flights will begin on November 26th. Operating once weekly, this will be the first time in history that Manchester gains a direct connection to Thailand’s vibrant capital, opening up an entirely new bridge between Manchester and Southeast Asia.
Flights will operate 1 weekly rotation, departing 1130pm local time Manchester, with arrival 6pm local time Bangkok. Return fares starting from GBP 259, including taxes. Flights are now available for booking on www.flynorse.com, with one weekly rotation during the winter season and potential for expansion based on demand.
With more than 100,000 passengers travelling annually between Manchester and Bangkok indirectly, plus an estimated 100,000 passengers flying to other airports, this route marks a bold step in addressing the region’s largest underserved long-haul market.
Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, said: “We don’t just follow demand — we unlock it. This route has been waiting to happen, and we’re proud to be the ones bringing it to life. Manchester is a key gateway to the North of England, and Bangkok is a magnet for adventure, business, and culture. Connecting the two cities is a natural next step for Norse as we continue to disrupt and expand in the long-haul space.”
