If they are able to survive they will restructure without question.
6 million pax on a total of roughly 180 million is not really significant. Not enough to expect a lifeline from UK government. TCX and FlyBe didn't get one so I strongly doubt the UK government will help out Norwegian. UK aviation market is one of the most competive markets around, with or without Norwegian.
Don't get me wrong, I hope Norwegian survives with all its subsidiaries but one has to be realistic.
