Norwegian (Oslo Gardermoen) has signed charter agreements with US firms Apple Vacations and Funjet Vacations covering the upcoming winter season 2017.

Under the terms of the deal, Norwegian will base three B737-800s at Milwaukee General Mitchell and Chicago Rockford for use on flights to Mexico and the Caribbean between December 2016 and April 2017.

The two contracts have a total value of approximately NOK120 million (USD14.2 million) and include more than 600 flights.

During the last winter season, Norwegian operated 7th Freedom flights from several US East Coast cities to the French Caribbean islands of Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe and Fort de France, Martinique. The seasonal winter service will resume this autumn.
