Widerøe announces first routes with the world's first E190-E2 jet plane
April 24th 2018 Widerøe's new fleet family member, LN-WEA, takes off from Bergen Airport Flesland towards Tromsø Airport Langnes. Attention will be directed to Norway as Widerøe is making the 114 seat regional jets available to the public. The E190-E2 is the next generation environmentally friendly aircraft and will contribute to a sustainable future for Norwegian aviation and for Widerøe. By investing in three new aircraft, with an option for another 12 aircrafts, Widerøe takes greater responsibility in the climate challenge and creates the prerequisites for continued growth.
