If Norwegian employed their staff under Norwegian contracts, paid Norwegian tax, and domiciled their cash in Norway as per their deceptive namesake, then by all means they'd have the right to ask the Norwegian government for a bailout (regardless of if they operated JFK-CDG, or TFS-MUC).

However, they didn't. They opted to use as many legal loopholes as possible (not ethical, but legal) to minimize the burden on the company at the expense of the staff and pay as little tax as possible.

Now, when times are tough, they want taxpayer cash. Absolutely NOT!

This is called the chickens coming home to roost.

Playing silly buggers by operating multiple AOC's, employing some staff on third world contracts, and now expecting the same country you've tried to unethically swindle to hand over cash? Tough salami.
