Low Cost Carrier starts Europe to Dubai

Interesting report in today's business pages, outlining the plans for European Low Cost carrier (LCC) Norwegian Airlines, who are to start services from Stockholm and Oslo to Dubai this year.

Services will commence in October and will be operated using Boeing 737-800's. This is in partial response to "growing ties" between Scandinavia and UAE.

It will be interesting to see how this will affect SK, QR and EK's existing and new plans for the region. I have to say that flight prices from both QR and SK to their respective served destinations ain't cheap!!!!! ARN and CPH are not known for low fares. Let's see how Norwegian Airlines manages. Good luck.

(7 hours in a 737 is possible?)
