Norwegian Air Shuttle to consider spinning off aircraft leasing unit
Norwegian Air Shuttle will consider spinning off its aircraft leasing unit, as new jets arrive from Airbus and Boeing , the airline said Thursday. The carrier has orders for 100 Airbus A320neo and 100 Boeing 737 Max aircraft. It plans to lease out some or all the Airbus planes. The airline already has agreed to rent 12 of the Airbus planes to HK Express and plans to add older Boeing 737 jets to the leasing arm's portfolio when they are retired from the Norwegian fleet. Depending upon growth demands, the company may fly some of the A320neos itself from 2018 until more 737 Max jets arrive. Norwegian also operates Boeing 787 Dreamliners and plans to expand its international flying by 40% this year compared with 2015. <br/>
