The article does mention they just secured 275 million NOK in liquidity. So that part is immediate.

Don’t think they’ll need it.

I find it funny that an article that states Norwegian is in trouble is taken as gospel, but one that states that maybe it’s not is summarily dismissed.

On the other hand, Norwegian might fail or not fail, but there are airlines queuing up to buy it, for over a year already, so it probably won't leave the market. Outfits like IAG, that owns AOCs in the UK, Spain, Austria, France and Ireland.
Indigo's still doing due diligence more than a month after entering the picture. That's not a good sign for WoW. And even before such arrangement is completed, WoW is cutting from 20 to 11 aircraft.

Please name these airlines 'queuing up' to buy Norwegian. IAG? Willie Walsh only wants to part it out for a very lowball number - why do you think the offer hasn't been accepted? Other than IAG, there's no one, in spite of what Bjorn Kjos (a pathological liar) may state. Listen to what Michael O'Leary has to say about Norwegian.

Yes, let's ignore that money moved from one Norwegian subsidiary to another.

Lufthansa has confirmed its interest in Norwegian as well.

https://www.independent.co.uk/travel...-a8404851.html

Where do you get the idea IAG only wants to part out Norwegian? Have you been on the phone with Willie Walsh recently? Most articles have made no mention of IAGs plans for Norwegian, while a recent article has claimed IAG intends to operate it as a "middle cost" level airline, about on par with the Aer Lingus model.

"Walsh’s objective would be to bring Norwegian into the Group’s “middle cost” sector, or to support the Norwegian carrier at Iberia Express and Aer Lingus in that target market that fosters both low cost but is also attractive to the business, also focusing on the good connections that Norwegian makes to the USA."

Sir Freddy Laker is laughing is rear off from the beyond.


He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it and fail.
Norwegian and WOW didn't read history.


You can keep your head buried in the sand as long as you want.


Won't change the facts that you can't charge 65 euros to fly pax across the north Atlantic with brand new widebody aircraft and expect to stay in business vary long.

And it’s funny that you think another money bandage is going to heal the massive, deep gash that keeps gushing blood.

Regardless if the turd survives another round of flushing, one way or another they are deep in the toilet with no question of more crap getting dumped on top of it’s already putrid existence. The only hope is the hole at the bottom of the pot finally gives relief and sets the miserable thing free, never to be seen again.
