Norwegian’s plans for new transatlantic routes to help shrink costs
Plans by Norwegian Air Shuttle to introduce transatlantic flights to secondary airports will help to slash costs at the airline, one of the most expensive European budget operators, its CE, Bjørn Kjoshas, said. The airline is preparing to launch innovative services between regional European airports and minor eastern US hubs over the course of 2017. The introduction of the new services between cities such as Edinburgh, Cork and Stewart International Airport, approximately 70 miles upstate of New York City, would bring down Norwegian’s costs, which are currently around 4.3 euro cents per available seat kilometre. That could bring it closer to the roughly 3.6 euro cents that analysts calculate as the cost for Ryanair, the industry cost leader, which does not release its own comparable figures. <br/>
