Every time the audience of forums like this "analyse" ventures like Norse, some people (probably, logically connected to the “affected” airline) try to defend the venture as if it was a revolutionary model which no one understands and that actually collapses/goes wrong, in part, due to the...
Jump to postI wonder if those figures are just from what they operate as Norse flights (Norse UK, plus all the rest from the main base in Norway and the US), or they are also adding to those figures the loads and pax transported on ACMI ops. I suspect the second.
Jump to postA321XLR on an Indian flight seems unlikely as it lack cargo capacity. Travellers to and from India, to the best of my knowledge, take a lot of heavy luggage with them and that is one of the factors some airlines distinguish or distinguished in the past from the others. Some allowed two pieces of ho...
Jump to postI reckon it hasn't been mentioned here yet. Norwegian to (re)-open its former LPA base this coming W24, with 2 planes. Will run year-round. 4º in Spain after AGP and ALC (never closed, even through pandemic), BCN (operates now year-round), and PMI (seasonal). https://www.abc.es/espana/canarias/norwe...
Jump to postDo they operate TOS with a local base or OSL crews? I see LGW too. Good on them. They should be the best ones to capitalize the local demand to exit for EU trips from the Norwegian end.

Jump to postCan Iberia launch flights to DEL instead? That seems more realistic with the coming A321XLR fleet. DEL-US is a huge market and IB has been adding capacity there in recent years. Maybe they want a bit of that market too, which anyway IAG caters mainly via LHR. I really don't see A321XLR would work o...

Jump to postNext MAX 8 has been delivered. According to FR24 SE-RTO just left BFI towards CPH. Will we be getting any MAXs in OSL, or are they all based in CPH/ARN? Most of the fleet based in Spain is often MAX too. Guess they have them there for maximizing the fuel savings featured on “longer flights”, which ...

Big effort for increasing revenue and ancillaries, but still, as the company grows and expands (even though it is being done slowly) the costs increase and the revenue doesn't count for actually generating any profits.

Jump to postRyanair will launch domestic services in Morocco next end of March.

Jump to postNorwegian opens (or reopens) its first non-touching-Scandinavia routes after covid. Both Malaga and Alicante will see 3x/w and 2x/w respectively to Munich (Germany), among some other route reopenings for S23. Do you see Norwegian going forward in exploring some other "non Scandi" markets?
Jump to postCould we see Norse go for the 787-10 at some point? Doubt it. Their whole business concept is around those 15 787s they got at extremely low leasing rates One would think they have planned something around their business model for the scenario in which those low leasing rates come to and end.

Jump to postLikely this means the route is going to be seasonal too, making the LGW winter schedule composed of only MIA, MBJ, JFK, MCO and BGI. They seem to be scaling down most of the "regular" markets for the benefit of leisure routes during the winter season in Europe. Hope it makes sense.
Jump to postSo I guess OSL crews/planes just rotate this winter BKK and the 1x/w to MIA which probably follows in a W pattern for the crew towards BER.
Jump to postCan’t remember reported before, Norse is pausing JFK from OSL this winter season. Whole operation in OSL seems to be MIA (1x/w) and BKK (2-3x/w). I guess they are focusing in leisure markets where they can ensure yields.
Jump to postIt's hard to believe they can make money with load factors still moving from as low as 50% in winter months to max of 86% They are focused on ancilaries -which I find it right strategy-, but in the current scenario of high costs for enverything in the industry, how are they going to convince pax for...
