The low-cost carrier joins Jet2.com, All Nippon Airways, British Airways, Etihad Airways, Flybe and Virgin Atlantic on the list. The partner scheme is designed to strengthen the links between travel industry suppliers and Abta and its members.

A Norwegian spokesperson told TTG: “The UK is at the heart of Norwegian’s expansion plans and we’re committed to growing our presence with key trade partners and travel agents. We look forward to maintaining a positive dialogue.”

From January to March 2017, Abta welcomed 11 new members, with eight trading as principals, one trading as a dual member, and two as retail members. A total of eight new partner members joined.

New members include G Touring (Travelsphere and Just You) and Arena Tours, which recently acquired The River Cruise Line and Diamond Rail Holidays brands.

Virgin Trains (West Coast Trains) has also become an Abta partner.
