The NYT says today -
"Flying doesn’t come cheaply these days, particularly on long-haul flights across the Atlantic.
But Norwegian Air Shuttle, which specializes in low-cost flights within Europe, plans to bring its pared-down model to the United States and Asia.
Its strategy, however, comes with a few twists: Norwegian is moving its long-haul operations from Norway to Ireland, basing some of its pilots and crew in Bangkok, hiring flight attendants in the United States, and flying the most advanced jetliner in service — the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. In the process, it has infuriated established carriers and pilots."
