More long haul additions next year:

There was an interview with Bjorn Kjos on the BBC website this morning to mark the inaugural flight to Beunos Aires. It seems Norwegian currently have no interest in the English Regions even with the new A321LR aircraft due to arrive. Instead, the plan is to use the LR to open up smaller US east coast cities from LGW.

Kjos is being bullish and says he is confident that Norwegian's financial issues, borrowing for their rapid fleet expansion and so forth will even out in the end...

That's no good for the regional airports that were hoping to entice them to use the A321LR on long haul. At least they can concentrate their efforts elsewhere. (other airlines)

Notice it says English regions. So maybe a bit of hope for Cardiff and i wonder if they will be tempted by Glasgow?

Norwegian's future targets from Gatwick are Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing if they can get access to the Siberian corridor. For the US, Detroit, Minneapolis and Philadelphia could be targets for the A321neoLR along with Middle East routes.

There has been much chatter on the dried fruit forum about the possibilty of Norwegian launching domestic routes. I'd be very surprised if that happens! Also it's been mentioned that Singapore will be replaced by Rio de Janiero.

Indeed it is - I'll credit the source next time but I thought their distinctive wording would allow me to get away with it this once 🙂
