CDG and LGW were the cash cows on longhaul for Norwegian. They flew significant number of flights from CDG and LGW. It will be in everybodys interest to keep that as it is.
Cabin Crew have been told LGW is the least loss making long haul base, with LGW-MIA the only Norwegian long haul route that is consistently profitable, all other LGW long haul routes are not even breaking even. I remember about 2 years ago being shown financials that they lost around £6 per passenger on average on long haul.

I believe Norwegian will still be here after Covid 19 but on a much smaller scale, mainly Scandinavia with little to no long haul.
