Norwegian low-fare airline Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (Norwegian) said on Thursday (6 April) that it was setting up a base in Warsaw, Poland and would start flights to five European cities.

To begin with, two aircraft would be based in Warsaw to fly the routes to Alicante, Barcelona/Girona, Malaga, Nice and Oslo.
