Right, so, the fact their wealth fund is looking to invest heavily in businesses with growth potential for the long term benefit of their country, and that the airline carrying the country's name is undergoing a globalised expansion, for benefits to national visibility as well as long term profit if they crack this new market, and that the wealth fund is worth over a trillion dollars, you don't potentially see that as a source of funding (either directly or indirectly via the Banking industry) going forwards?

Or I suppose the Norwegian government could just let a major carrier fold due to cash flow issues in the future whilst they get set up? I personally can't see that happening. Too much loss of face.
