Yeah, the idea of "low cost long haul doesn't work" is just lazy. There are some segments of it that worked, and actually worked well. Norwegian was just unorganized and undisciplined in the way it implemented its operation, and went overboard on its expansion. If Norwegian had operated strictly to LGW and OSL to a handful of destinations to the States, with a fleet of 10-12 787s, and invested a bit into a more robust operations center, it could have worked. But instead they ordered close to 100 787s, tried flying anywhere and everywhere, and tried to do it out of an operations center more suited to a small regional airline instead of an airline with 140 airplanes and a global presence.
