What! So all airlines have to spell their name in a nice English name! Aer Lingus are Irish and spell their name in Irish the language of the country. What now, people want Lufthansa, Qantas, Delta and Iberia to change their names to German National Airlines, Australia National Airlines, America National Airlines or Spanish National Airlines and how dare Air Canada call their airline Rouge it should be red. Few people put airline names in search engines they put the route in. Search engines are becoming better at giving alternative cities like showing both GLA and EDI or all LON airports.
Norwegian are from Norway and celebrated that. Why should they change their name so people who are thick can use them. What do they change their name to? Go Airlines, Fly Airlines or some rubbish like that, that isn’t their heritage of being Norwegian!
