I always thought Norwegian should go for non served UK-US routes as well as the thick routes. I said London-New Orleans was screaming to be served, then BA picked it up.
London-Nashville or London-San Antonio could work on the 787.
When they get some A321LR based at Gatwick maybe the likes of
Columbus or Cleveland
Indianapolis
Milwaukee
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
Could work.

It leaves just two or three major markets unserved by Norwegian - Washington, Chicago and Houston. I too wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Nashville/St Louis/Columbus type destination served as well - maybe even Manchester for the ski season on a 73MAX.

Of course they were, at one point LGW offered more destinations to the USA than LHR did.
Of those routes mentioned by user _aax1 they were previously served from LGW by,
Cleveland (Continental)
Nashville (American)
New Orleans (British Airways)
Pittsburgh (British Airways, US Airways)
St. Louis (British Caledonian, TWA Trans World Airlines)

I was just picking up on the routes mentioned by user _aax1.
I don't think we were listing all the previous USA flights from LGW let alone previous BA/US co-operated flights.
If I can remember correctly.
During the early to mid 1990s and in cooperation with USAir BA operated to the following destinations (Charlotte, Baltimore and Pittsburgh) and then once that agreement had ended BA operated these routes with their own aircraft and USAir then opened Philadelphia whilst retaining their presence on the Charlotte and Pittsburgh routes with their own aircraft, the latter was dropped by USAir after three years with BA remaining on the route until it was later moved to LHR.

Seems like BA won't operate LGW-LIM next winter
British Airways removes Lima NW17 schedule :: Routesonline
What is the remaining capacity at LGW relating to slots and terminal capacity? Nice to talk about possible new routes but at some point it will be difficult for airlines to find suitable slots.

LGW is very tight in Summer:

I was looking at some 2007 statistics today and I was really surprised to see the top US routes including Atlanta (390k), Dallas (400k) and Houston (460k)! How times have changed!

Now 44m !!
Gatwick smashes global record of 44 million annual passengers, with long haul services driving huge growth
10/04/2017
Driven by growth in long haul routes, the airport has reported its busiest ever March, with over 3.3 million passengers passing through - up 8.4% on the same month in 2016.
With new routes to Denver and Seattle just announced, long haul traffic to North America grew particularly strongly, up 37% in March, with services to LA, Boston and Toronto growing most.
Cape Town, Hong Kong and Costa Rica were top long haul destinations to other parts of the world and contributed to a 34% growth in the volume cargo compared to the same month in 2016.
Stewart Wingate, Gatwick CEO, said:
“Gatwick is booming. We have just hit 44 million passengers a year – a world record for a single runway airport – and a mark that some predicted we would not hit until 2035, in 18 years’ time!”
“Our passengers continue to show confidence in foreign travel, particularly to the growing number of long haul destinations that Gatwick now serves. We launched 20 new long haul routes last year alone and even more will start this summer, including to Seattle, Denver and Xi’an – our third destination in China – with our Hong Kong service also going daily.
“This long haul growth is also driving up the amount of cargo flown out from Gatwick. We’ve seen a 34% increase in cargo this month alone, which is important as the UK readjusts and focusses attention on global destinations further afield.
“At this crucial time for the country and the economy, Gatwick continues to stand ready and offers the UK Government a credible and deliverable option for runway expansion.”
Year-end round up (April 2016 to March 2017):
10/04/2017
- Gatwick achieves 49 consecutive months of growth with busiest ever March, up 8.4%
- North American routes drive long haul traffic with cargo volumes also up 34%
- ‘Gatwick is booming’ Stewart Wingate, Gatwick CEO

Year-end round up (April 2016 to March 2017):
- Air traffic movements: 283,094 +4%
- Passengers: 43,969,000 + 8%
- Cargo: 81,138 +16%
- New long haul routes to Denver, Seattle, Fort Lauderdale and Vancouver in North America
- New service direct to Xi’an, China, and also a daily service to Hong Kong
- Hitting 45 million passengers a year - another world record – with bigger, quieter planes and a strengthened short-haul network

In 2007
Atlanta was up to three times daily at one point by DL and daily by BA.
Dallas twice daily by AA and once daily by BA.
Houston twice daily by CO and daily from BA.

It's time to add a second runway and forget about the expensive Heathrow
