Norwegian have almost zero focus on long haul business travellers, no lounge offering etc, they're price led. Hence frequency is not a must.
some truth in that Lord Skippy, but go back to 2013 when Norwegian announced they would open a LGW base, you likened it to the short lived Aer Lingus...wrong, ditto when Norwegian started long haul, BA would crush them...wrong, but ironically might end up buying them, Norwegians woes started with the Dreamliner
, prior to that they were profitable, but now they have 11 78’s at LGW alone, and a fleet of 32 by year end, the general view is if they get through the summer they’ll be ok the massive growth rate stops in the 3rd quarter, but plenty of headwinds to get through first.
