Norwegian Air Shuttle

[jfy1999]

The Barcelona and Madrid winter schedules may be being loaded into the system right now, as both routes have disappeared entirely from the BHX drop down list and timetable, when you type in either route it displays the message "invalid city pair".

The 3rd weekly Tenerife (on Wednesdays) is only bookable until March but hopefully that will be amended when the S17 schedule rolls around.

What's strange about BHX is that all trace of BCN/MAD-BHX has been deleted off the website. What are they going to do about bookings up until 30th October which were on the site previously?

GDS and websites not being kind to prospective BHX bookers lately!

MAD and BCN are both still bookable on the app and mobile site up until October.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Both MAD and BCN are back on the website again, still only up until 29th October though.

BCN and MAD both now axed for W16/17, not sure if they will come back in S17

I had a feeling BCN @ MAD would be axed. Still plenty of capacity to both of these cities with other airlines though.

I wish they would try something else and new !

Not convinced they committed to BHX moving forward though so not getting hopes up of anything else from these guys anytime soon.

I can see both returning for S17. Norwegian have proved they can fill (or get reasonable loads on) an A330-200 even while facing competition from three others on Madrid.

Barcelona is still not bookable from MAN or EDI beyond October, same as at BHX. Because MAN-BCN is a very recent addition, I would be very surprised if it was permanently axed from MAN. My guess is that they are making them all summer only routes, although there doesn't seem to have been an announcement of any kind.

If I recall correctly they first announced MAD, AGP and BCN around December time so we could still see some more movement before the end of the year.

That's exactly my train of thought. They must have decided that MAD and BCN are better of for the time being at summer only for the time being - if they've had to wetlease equipment this summer, they may have decided those costs outweigh potential route performance over winter. Hopefully this time next year, they will be in full swing with their own equipment making these kind of routes year-round.

Anyway regardless of what happens to Norweigan @ BHX, im travelling with them on Thursday to LPA. Im sooooooo excited

Maybe this will be my aircraft, booked seats 31F right at the back.
