Not at all surprised about Bergen and Turku being opened.

Ever since BA, Easyjet and (I think) SAS dropped the London-Bergen route, Norwegian has been able to charge whatever it liked - there is definitely room for a second player in summer at least

It's been puzzling me for years why Turku hasn't had a London link after Ryanair stopped STN-TKU many years ago. If Rovaniemi, Kuusamo, Ivalo and Kittila can all sustain ample winter seasonal scheduled flights from London and there are 9 flights per day on London-Helsinki, then perhaps time to look at a route to Turku or Tampere.

The timings on both Oslo and Porto both look like something to keep an aircraft busy at off-peak times. However London-Oslo and (especially) London-Porto might turn into a fare war - can these 2 routes really sustain 5 carriers each ?
