Scandinavian budget carrier Norwegian has provisionally been allocated slots at London Heathrow for the summer 2020 season.

Heathrow’s slot co-ordination organisation, ACL, has disclosed that Norwegian requested 14 weekly slots but has been given six, the equivalent of three weekly departures.

Norwegian has not indicated plans for Heathrow routes. The airline already operates from London Gatwick, through its Norwegian Air International division, as well as Manchester and Edinburgh.

The Heathrow slots will provide sufficient access for 178 traffic movements over the season.

Tunisair and Turkmenistan Airlines have each had slot allocations reduced. Tunisair has been given two slots compared with its previous eight. The summer season commences on 29 March.
