From that they have added Bergen, likely to be aimed more for British leisure pax but will also work for inbound. They are also flying to Bergen from LGW and LCY, I assume to take advantage of Norwegian’s probable exit from the route.

Other than that Essex has long been the favoured entry point for Scandinavian routes and airlines, now SEN is grabbing some of the action although I believe Wideroe flew there way back when. They have also been in and out of STN.
They applied for slots but have made no announcements about intentions to operate from LCY or LGW at this time so likely won’t do so. I can’t see them splitting ops like that nor operating from Bergen to three different london airports.
