News / Norse Atlantic Airways launches first ever direct route from Manchester to Bangkok, Thailand
This milestone route opens a fresh travel corridor between Europe and Southeast Asia

Norse Atlantic Airways is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking new route between Manchester and Bangkok, with flights commencing November 26, 2025. Operating once weekly, this will be the first time in history Manchester gains a direct connection to Thailand’s vibrant capital — opening up an entirely new bridge between Manchester and Southeast Asia. Go explore the world!
With more than 100,000 passengers travelling annually between Manchester and Bangkok indirectly, plus an estimate of 100,000 passenger leaking to other airports, this route marks a bold step in addressing the region’s largest underserved long-haul market. Norse Atlantic Airways is once again proving that long-haul travel doesn’t have to be a luxury reserved for the few — it can be affordable, direct, and brilliantly convenient.
Norse’s entrance into the Manchester-Bangkok market offers a game-changing alternative to indirect, time-consuming connections, and supports both inbound tourism to the UK and business or leisure travel to Thailand.
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.

- The new service from Manchester (MAN) to Bangkok (BKK) will launch on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. 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.
