I can understand saving the operation in Norway or even in Scandinavia, but why the hell does a Norwegian tax payer must see his money being used to save the other part of the company (mainly UK and Spanish bases)? What interest does Norway has in routes like Gran Canaria - Madrid or London - Corfu?
Same question in reverse. Why must UK/Spanish/US/ etc, government save a Norwegian company? Seems like Norwegian wants to be Norwegian when it suits, but becomes Norwe-chameleon when it needs to be bailed out.
