Norwegian has clearly stated that they are not planning to restart flying their longhaul ops this and next year. The leasing companies took a haircut and accepted equity in lieu of outstanding payments. The first batch of 788s they have are heavily reworked from the first troublesome batch, and the entire 787 fleet is badly hit by the engine fix. Hardly an asset that a leasing company can switch over to a green shoot (if any exist). They are cutting crews becuase they know things are going to be rough for quite a while. The state aid from Norway had quite a few caveats so the lay offs have to be someplace else. Just before covid hit they had already scrapped all longhual ops from the scandic countries. They simply don't have any money to keep a few hundred pilots current.
