I'll second that but the cynicist in me says "give it 6 mths".
I would love to be proved wrong.
Plenty of money in Norway mind you, oil & didn't **** their economy by joining EEC and accepting the Euro, so who knows

Any relation to or tie up with Norwegian Air Shuttle?

If yes, there's a fairly good chance of them lasting a bit longer than the speculated 6 months.

If they're planning on 16+ hours a day in utilizing the A330's with long haul flights. It may just work.

Good luck guys!
