Norway gained the right to fly to the US since 2011 and NAS has been flying to LAS since 2015. NAS now operate 40+ routes to the US, but the flights are not daily.
NAI is a mechanism for bypassing labor standards, tax dodging, gaining access to the rest of the world via 7th freedoms and the eventual transfer of 787 wet leases from NAS to the NAI. NAI 7th freedoms will add non-US flights that will be used to fuel further US penetration.

Many of the critical articles on NAI and Bjorn Kjos are in Norwegian. English search results are often not effective.
