Flying from London to Australia is notoriously expensive, but that may be about to change if budget airline Norwegian gets its way. This week Norwegian launched the UK's first low-fare route to South America, with a non-stop service from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires. The new year-round service of four weekly flights from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport 'breaks the monopoly on direct flights to Argentina' the airline said. Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos said: 'We have marked the start of our new expansion into South America by bringing a taste of Argentina to London Gatwick. This meant that the Norwegian DY7014 service from JFK to London Gatwick only took a total of five hours and 13 minutes, shaving 53 minutes off the expected flight duration.
