I suspect most of the BHX-JFK was probably leisure already and without AA OW influence now, would wonder if even a low cost leisure operator such as Norwegian would look to run it? But i suppose they are different beasts all those MAX and Neos have got to go somewhere...

I would love to see Norwegian at NCL. I think SFB is the only US route that would work from there (maybe LAS at a push).
As for European routes then OSL would open up some interesting connection opportunities. Also, the inbound Nordic football market is not to be underestimated!
Bucket & spade routes might be difficult given Ryanair's expansion plans.

Norwegian currently use Orlando International so I wouldn't expect them to use Sanford as their port of entry to Orlando IF they ever contemplated operating transatlantic from Newcastle which of course they won't considering their are bigger markets to serve.
Although I could see Oslo added along with a couple of other Scandinavian destinations, the bucket and spade routes and European cities are more or less covered by Easyjet and Ryanair to be honest.

I read somewhere an interview with Bjorn Kjos who mentioned routes to Los Angeles and San Fransisco from EDI too, presumably using a Dreamliner. One would hope that an Orlando route is also included.
I predict great times for MAN and EDI with DY/D8 over the next few years. Exciting stuff!

GLA has been very successful in the past 18 months in attracting new airlines. Here's hoping they can secure Norwegian and with it more transatlantic flights from Scotland's economic powerhouse.

GIP are fattening all of their airports up for sale eventually but there is nothing to suggest that the sale of EDI is imminent so I'm afraid I don't see the link. Norwegian will use EDI as their base for the Scottish market whoever owns the airport IMHO.
