A flag-of-convenience airline is a carrier that is established in a country other than the home country of its majority owner(s) in order to avoid regulations of the home country. Flags of convenience are often used to decrease labor costs and undercut established markets.

Flags of Convenience
It should be noted that in the case of Norwegian, they do not have different terms and conditions based on the AOC you operate for. For example an LGW based pilot on the NAS AOC operates under the exact same terms as an LGW based pilot on the NUK AOC. So there goes ALPA’s argument that it is being used to “decrease labor costs”.

As noted numerous times, NAS, NAI, and NUK all operate under EASA regulations, so the argument that they are being used to “avoid regulations of the home country” is invalid as well.
