According to the latest information from Norwegian (info given in the Q3 result presentation) this is the fleet plan the next years. Let's first start with the status at the end of 2011
16x Boeing 737-30 and 46x Boeng 737-800
And here is the fleet size the next years (year end numbers):
2012 = 10x Boeing 737-300 and 58x Boeng 737-800
2013 = 9x Boeing 737-300, 68x Boeng 737-800 and 3x Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner
2014 = 5x Boeing 737-300, 79x Boeng 737-800 and 7x Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner
The lease of a number B733 has been extended since they can't get enough B738 fast enough from Boeing.
The recent news about SAS being in really deep **** can lead to a total turn around to the above mentioned fleet plan. I guess there is a Norwegian Air Shuttle manual on the shelf named "In case SAS goes bankrupt", and we may see Norwegian trying to hoover the B737 market.
