Anyone know why they have yet another subsidiary in Norwegian Air Norway? Surely a tautology too far?

[7Three7Specialist]

This is Norwegian's last ever B737-800. From now on it's only MAX8's. So it could well be re-reg soon enough.

Norwegian set to launch flights to Canada by July so no doubt on sale shortly

That’s a tougher market than the US with 3 low cost airlines already operating in AC Rouge, WestJet & Air Transat. They also fly to the principle airports in Pearson, Montreal, Halifax & Calgary. Norwegian do like burning money though.

There is also primera from STN to YYZ.

But think Norwegian could do well at Burlington Moncton and Hamilton if they want to use secondary airports.

I would think that if it’s from LGW it will be the Dreamliner so that will Vancouver & Calgary, the max will likely do Dublin/BFS to Hamilton, really no point in using max from LGW to eastern seaboard it just too tight on fuel westbound.

No direct from LGW to Vancouver and a 789 to Calgary -V- a Westjet 767 ? plus European feed

I think there could be a market to SWF from LGW with preclearance at SNN and direct on the return.

No direct from LGW to Vancouver

Eh? Transat have operated this route for years, as do Westjet. Last year there was even a third operator on the route in Rouge, but alas this has been discontinued.

This is low volume, low fares long haul. At the first sign of economic turbulence, do you want your focus here?

[toledoashley]

My guess with the Canadian entry would be from Dublin or Belfast using a MAX. I don't think they have enough 787's (unless they drop something somewhere else to cover), especially as they have said they are going to add extra 787's to CDG.

My guess would be Dublin to Hamilton on a MAX.

[EIFFS]

There are more 789,s than required for current on sale program, I think you’ll see Canada out of LGW

[kgoodall]

Looks like the CTA have granted them the exception to sell tickets before Transport Canada approval. TC have also advised them that they should have their approvals in time for their first flights around the end of July.

[compton3bravo]

Norwegian are calling for more cash from its shareholders and hope to sell five A320neos and any superfluous aircraft to help it through 'challenging times' with regards fuel and currency prices. We await further comments from a certain well known Irishman!

[canberra97]

That certain Irish man will only comment on this once the failure of Norwegian is official, then he can rightly say ''I told you so dint I''.

ORK-PVD suspended for the winter with talks of other routes being suspended too.

[inOban]

They haven't announced any W18 TA flights from EDI, although the schedule to Oslo, which uses the TA a/c, assumes there will be.

[snn20]

https://ibb.co/kpsS7H statement here

[inOban]

Thanks for that. Certainly the fares on both EDI routes are now quite high in peak season, but that season seems quite short.

Bloomberg are reporting that IAG are considering a bid for Norwegian.

[SWBKCB]

Flight also reporting:

British Airways and Iberia parent IAG is considering a possible takeover of Scandinavian budget carrier Norwegian, after taking a preliminary minority share in the airline.

IAG has disclosed that it has acquired a 4.61% shareholding in Norwegian.

IAG says its shareholding will enable it to "establish a position" from which it could commence discussions with Norwegian, and that these could include the "possibility of a full offer" for the budget airline.
