ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, April 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Norwegian Air Shuttle is giving passengers the option to preorder duty free items for delivery onboard chosen flights. This new ordering system will be supported by gateretail, a brand of gategroup.

Beginning with a trial program starting this April, passengers on board selected Norwegian flights departing from Oslo can now preorder duty free items such as alcohol, tobacco, perfume, cosmetics, confectionery, and more, which will be delivered directly to their seat.

Now, as part of their commitment to deliver exceptional customer experiences, Norwegian, in partnership with gateretail, will include preorder on selected Norwegian flights.

The ability to preorder duty free items is a great example of this and a feature we know will be appreciated by our customers”, says Christoffer Sundby, Chief Marketing & Customer Officer in Norwegian.
