I think All name taken is right about the angst, but this may well be an anxiety for the new at MAN. The share of North Westerners on today's DY flights to/from MAN is next to nothing. DY has noted these conservative and also partly nationalistic attitudes in the North West. LGW and London it is very different from MAN and the North West - at LGW the quality of the service also plays a vital role, not only the price tag. The first quarter this year Norwegian had 10% of the passengers on international flights from LGW, up from 6% one year earlier (these numbers are according to DY). Of the 52% growth in passenger numbers around half of it was on the new non-Nordic destinations from LGW, partly with LGW based aircraft and British crew. The other half was from Scandinavia, but there too LGW based aircraft and crew flew a large share of the added capacity.
The added capacity this year is 14 new B738, but at the same time 5 old B733 and 3 old B738 (from the LN-NO_ sersies) will be retired. Next year the capacity growth will be lower with only 8 more B738 and the last 5 old B733 retired. It looks like 2015 will be a year of consolidation. 2016 on the other hand looks like be next year with a significant capacity growth with 4 new B789 and 17 new B738 + maybe 4 A320 neo at the end of the year.
