It’s not just about the here and now, it’s also about future bookings, ask yourself, as a passenger would you book a shorthaul flight from LGW with Norwegian at the moment? I think the answer would be no - I would use EasyJet. The same goes for longhaul, Norwegian or BA/ Virgin? It is as much about consumer confidence as it is about state subsidies and I’m just not sure there is any confidence in Norwegian within the flying public outside Norway - I hope I’m wrong but I think it will be a shadow of its former self if it continues to exist (and that’s before the legal challengers of having a state subsidised airline being based in a different country Directly competing with that countries airlines - can’t imagine EasyJet would accept it without a fight).
