The major issue with support Norwegian is transparency. It has from the start had a complex and duplicitous business operating practice, a former CEO that "cannot remember "paying 500K in personal bonus just before the shares collapsed and the whole thing is like an Onion, the more you peel, the more you cry!
Look at their home-grown handling company in UK "RED HANDLING" company records showed they paid £637,546 in staff costs in 2018/19.. for 9 admin staff, no mention of other employees, in October 2020 the Norwegians appointed their own Directors, some of which are also Directors at NAS. They paid no UK tax as a company yet want the UK to support the furlough. One can't blame the Norwegian government for being cautious as this is clearly a management that works overtime to line it's own pockets.
The real shame is the loyal and professional crews seem oblivious and keep following the misguided actions of the company and will be left high and dry.
The Boeing maintenance contracts are handled under the "gold package" for 787s, and as these leases are stalled, so are the contracts, with essential maintenance charges being added as accrued debts ( agreed by Board and Shareholders in bail out)
Lufthansa Technik will only carry out maintenance on the 738s while they get paid.
It would be nice if the Spanish bases survived , cant see these crews being used in scan land though, doesn't make sense with the spare crews and capacity there already
