“An important step in the company’s growth strategy,” says Asgeir Nyseth, CEO of Norwegian Air International.
NAI is working closely with the Irish Aviation Authority for an extension of NAI’s AOC to also include the operation of Norwegian’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The plan is to transfer a nine short-haul aircraft from Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS) to Norwegian’s Irish subsidiary Norwegian Air International (NAI). The transfer of aircraft first and foremost applies to the company’s aircraft that is currently based at London Gatwick. The nine aircraft are also due to be re-registered, from “LN” to “EI”.
The plan is to start the B737 operation for NAI 1st November 2014.
CEO of NAI, Asgeir NysethThere are several reasons why Norwegian has chosen to transfer part of its short-haul fleet to its Irish subsidiary, says CEO of NAI, Asgeir Nyseth, to Red Nose.
“This is an important step in the company’s growth strategy. The company is growing rapidly and the main growth is in markets outside of Scandinavia. This is the main reason for transferring the aircraft to NAI,” says Asgeir.
“By transferring the aircraft to NAI in Ireland, we have easier access to future traffic rights to and from the EU as Norway isn’t a member of the EU. Ireland is also a considerable cluster for the aviation industry and the country offers one of the highest ranked civil aviation authorities in the world,” he continues.
