No growth?
I seem to recall something, suggesting that a fair amount of those will not make it into growth for Norwegian. Something on Flightglobal about it.


There are good parts of the business that are profitable so now world domination is off the cards there is hope it will pull itself back up.
As an outsider looking at it, it does seem rather haphazard how they are targeting growth, not clearly targeting a niche, just after everything. It's not like 20 years ago when most legacy carriers where caught unawares by new upstart low cost carriers, most are can compete very aggressively on long haul now and Norwegian can't rely on being cheaper as much, BA etc are much more competitive comparatively with Norwegian now than they were with Ryanair, EasyJet etc in the early days.
