Any thoughts on my post above - I'm unclear why Perth airport and the WA government aren't just wooing a London based airline with a strong European network to fly to Perth. Norwegian has a Garwick base, offering connections across Europe and to North America, they 787-9s. Why aren't they a better match for this route than Qantas? Having a strong network from London is going to be more commercially valuable than having domestic connections at this end?
...and even if it is an amazing route (i.e. profitable) then the cream will come from the additional yield that can be leveraged from premium cabins.
As a LCC, Norwegian does not do premium anything!
