LOW-COST airline Norwegian has announced a new route from Madrid to Boston, Massachusetts, in the USA, making it the only carrier other than Iberia to cover the connection.
It will run flights in either direction every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
In total, 52,000 seats will be up for grabs on this route throughout the summer, until the end of October.
Norwegian also runs flights from Madrid's Adolfo Suárez-Barajas airport to Los Angeles four times a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays – and daily to New York JFK.
All three US connections are run using a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with 344 seats, of which 35 are in Premium Class and the remaining 309 in Economy.
For this summer, Norwegian will be offering 283,700 seats between Madrid and the USA – an increase of 293% on last summer.
The carrier offers routes to New York JFK, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago from Barcelona between June and October, for which 681,000 seats will be available this summer – an increase of 84.5% on last year.
