Norwegian has announced the launch of flights from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires, its first ever South American service.
Flights are now on sale for the new route, which will start in February 2018 with fares from £299 one way.
The low-cost airline said it will break the ‘current monopoly’ on direct London to Buenos Aires flights.
The year-round Boeing 787 Dreamliner service will launch on February 14 and will operate four times a week to Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport.
Premium fares are available from £699 one way.
Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos said: "From Europe, the USA, Asia and now South America, our long-haul network is going global and the UK will continue to be at the heart of our ambitious plans for expansion.
"We also see huge potential in the Argentinian market so this is not only a major milestone as our first South American route, it is also a first step towards ambitious plans for international and domestic growth in Argentina."
Minister of Tourism of Argentina, Gustavo Santos said: "Argentina has opened to the world and global air connectivity is key for tourism. We celebrate the arrival of this flight and all the air commercial development that Norwegian is undertaking in our country.
"Argentina world friendly is our touristic brand, a concept which symbolizes our open arms to receive new travellers."
