The CEO predicted only 7 737 in operation until April next year. I think he is too pessimistic.
They will focus on their home area, that is the Nordic countries. Some longhaul operations, but only if it is profitable. He would not say anything specific about routes. He expect a need for more funds when they start to increase production because of increased cost.
They got rid of 10 billion NOK in debt, but need to start borrowing again soon.

They way they set up shop with crew agencies shows how easy it is to get rid of the crew It is positive for Norwegian, but really bad for crew.

They still have the MAX problems, the Dreamliner problems and 100 Airbus on order. And they are still up to the neck in debt. They got through the last days with success, and that is job really well done by Schram and his team.
