Norway Lifts Ban on UK Flights

Norway has lifted the ban on flights from the UK

Flights to Norway from the UK have now resumed after the country lifted its restrictions on flights from the UK.

Norway was among more than 40 countries who banned UK arrivals due to concerns over the spread of a new strain of the coronavirus.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) updated its advice on travel to Norway, saying: “Due to covid-19 restrictions, Norway has announced additional restrictions on travel to/from the UK, however direct flights will resume from 5pm on 2 January.

“From 1 January, UK nationals resident in the UK will not be able to enter Norway as visitors unless they meet certain exemptions; these are available from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration.”
