Norwegian longhaul leads the way

Att maskinerna har bra beläggning betyder inte att de automatiskt är lönsamma.

Utan expansion i nya områden klarar sig inte Norwegian. Man behöver ständigt nya omedvetna passagerare som förskotts betalar sina resor långt i förväg.

Jag är mer intresserad om vad som händer i nutid. Betalar Norwegian ersättning enligt EU regler utan att pax måste stämma i domstol?
Är detta trilskande en förutsättning för att det skall löna sig för Norwegian.

After our summer of record passenger numbers and more award wins, Norwegian has achieved another first today – we are delighted to announce plans for the first ever transatlantic flights from Cork in Ireland to Boston and New York. A Cork to Barcelona service has also been announced to complete a hat-trick of new Irish routes.

CEO Bjorn Kjos said: “We are delighted to offer a long-awaited service from the U.S. to Cork and the southern parts of Ireland which will create huge business, leisure and tourism opportunities. Our new Cork to Barcelona route is also an exciting addition to our growing network. This is only the beginning of our plans for new routes in Ireland which will help create more competition, more choice and lower fares for business and leisure passengers on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The new routes will be operated under Norwegian Air International and form part of our plans for continued expansion in the UK and Ireland.

The Cork to Boston and Barcelona services are set to launch in May 2016 with 4-5 flights per week, while Cork to New York services are planned for 2017, using our new B737MAX aircraft.

Cork has never had a transatlantic service before so the announcement has proved to be very popular in Ireland.

Frågor på det?

Norwegian Air customers have lodged a record number of complaints, with a tribunal judge stating to the Dagens Næringsliv, “We have never before seen this scope of complaints in a single case.”[69] With more than 200 complaints having been registered with the Transport Complaints Board alone, passengers have created the Twitter hashtag, #NeverFlyNorwegian.[70]

Norwegian’s policies have also been criticized by passengers who were left without food, drinks and blankets on board for up to 12 hours (available for pay but only with correct type of credit card).[71] In August 2014, 35,000 people were reportedly hit with delays when flying with Norwegian, and 1,200 passengers ultimately sued Norwegian for compensation.[72]

Hahaha , så da norwegian startede op f.eks på CPH for alvor for 4-5 år siden og startede at flyve på en masse SAS destinationer så var de også en Copy Cat?
Markedskräfter er således at man begiver sig hen hvor der formodes at väre noget at hente , måske man välger disse norwegian destinationer fordi det er en easy match haha.

Of course, vel vil flyga 15 år gamla SAS Airbus?

Yes, they lead the way in customer complaints. Worse than Ryanair

Visst, bra att Norwegian vågar satsa på nya destinationer. Men två gånger i veckan? Vem vänder man sig till?

Och det kommer mera.-))
