Norwich is served by Norwich International Airport (NWI), a regional airport in East Anglia. It offers a limited scheduled network into NWI primarily focused on domestic flights from UK hubs and a handful of European leisure destinations arriving in Norwich, with a strong presence from the holiday airline TUI.
The airport's most vital routes to Norwich are domestic flights from Aberdeen (ABZ), a key link for the energy sector to NWI, and from other UK cities like Manchester (MAN) and Exeter (EXT) to Norwich. For leisure arrivals into Norwich, it offers direct charter and scheduled flights to NWI from popular sun destinations in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and the Canary Islands. There are no long-haul or extensive European city-break services into Norwich.
Norwich Airport is a base for TUI Airways, which operates the majority of its holiday flights into NWI. Loganair operates the important domestic route from Aberdeen and other regional services to Norwich. The airport lacks a base from major low-cost carriers like Ryanair or easyJet for arrivals into NWI.
To find cheap flights to Norwich, book TUI package holidays into NWI well in advance for peak summer travel to Norwich. For domestic flights to Norwich, book Loganair services into NWI several weeks ahead. For a wider selection of origins into the Norwich region and typically lower fares, many travelers use London Stansted Airport (STN), which is about a 2-hour drive from Norwich and has an extensive low-cost network from across Europe to the area, then ground transport to Norwich. For long-haul arrivals into Norwich, connecting through London Heathrow (LHR) or Amsterdam (AMS) from a larger airport to a regional airport is necessary, often with a drive from that airport. Always compare the total cost and time of flying directly into NWI versus flying into a larger hub like Stansted and driving to Norwich.
