Using the same thought process, if you had a bad experience in a hospital would you refuse to use it again if you fell ill? Sadly it is possible to have a bad experience in just about every walk in life, but maybe not the best decision to say never going there again. You will quickly run out of options. I have had flights cancelled by BA with not a care to the disruption caused.

Norwegian don't offer business class... so if you were expecting anything more than PE then you would be disappointed.
And yes, first impressions do count for a lot.
If you had a bad experience in a hospital, I would try and use a different one next time, of course I would. If you had a bad first date then I probably wouldn't go for a second - the wedding scenario isn't really the same thing.

Meant PE not business. As it happened when they managed to get us a couple of PE seats on their Dreamliner from JFK to Oslo, it was nice and Norwegian cabin crew were attentive.
However when the substituted Norwegian for HiFly, it was really very poor. The planes interiors seen better days. PE seats not working properly. Entertainment screens had either no sound, faulty headphone jack sockets, remote controls not working, in flight service was extremely low quality, food services up was not great. People's reactions in PE was dismay. It was a series of comedy errors. I suppose a lesson learned - next time I'll use an established carrier on that trans Atlantic route. HiFly just not up to par. They had more delays and pulled flights on that HiFly route. I was stuck last minute with need to book a flight urgently. The Norwegian Oslo to Gatwick was fine, no issues at all.

Not a real surprise because it appears IAG didn't really read the share register or talk to major shareholders in advance of this.
Figure if someone want to approach company direct and do a tie up it could happen while respecting the companys name, reputation and origins.
Does Norway breed racehorses ?

2 more Norwegian transatlantic routes gone this time from Scandinavia to LAS and OAK.
How many transatlantic routes have they once started then canned and presumably less than theyve commenced.

Try routes and if they don't work as well as expcted then can them.................... no different from any other airline

Norwegian are not in that position, they are loosing money and large amounts.
The business model is built around the price of cheap oil. Oil is on the.move and likely to go Higher.
i don’t think think IAG have fully walked away, I would expect further developments on this front.

That works well if you are financialy sound and you have a solid balance sheet.

If your routes are underperforming you kill them................. end of story.
Nothing gained by holding onto route where people and profits aren't there.
Frankly its a way to go bust.
Chuck it against the wall and see what sticks is a bigger risk in longhaul because of the greater costs involved.
Makes you wonder about the quality of the advance planning. Presumably this Swedish tax didn't just appear out of nowhere?

new route announcement today, excellent is that on a Norwegian 787 or a leased A340/A330 or perhaps a 747.
Lots of on going issues with the 787 due to the rolls Royce engine issues.
Yes I know this is effecting every rolls Royce operator, but when you get a completely different aircraft, operating a service below what you expect it's not good for customer retention .

Norwegian will retrofit its existing fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with an upgraded, more spacious cabin featuring new lighter and comfier slimline seats.
Is this to help increase range?

Seat width will go from 17.2" to 16.8" in the new cabin. Spacious? Comfier?

Norway disposes of remaining SAS equity
Could this pave the way for Norwegian Longhaul to get overfly permission over Siberian airspace? This was the Russian justification originally (only one airline per country allowed). Was it done deliberately for this purpose?
