Norwegian expands in the Trans-Atlantic market
Just 3 and a half years ago, Norwegian was an upstart discount carrier entering the long-haul market. Now it is the 10th-largest trans-Atlantic airline by percentage of seats offered. The growth of Norwegian is a sign of the competitive threat on trans-Atlantic routes faced by legacy carriers. Norwegian is about to announce details of a plan that is poised to lower fares and expand the cities it serves in the US and Europe. Later this year, Norwegian plans to begin flying out of new American cities to include Newark; Newburgh, N.Y.; and Providence, R.I. On the other side of the ocean, it will begin to operate out of new cities including Barcelona; Belfast, Cork and Shannon in Ireland; and Edinburgh, Scotland. Average fares on the new Irish routes are expected to be US$300 to $350 round trip, tax included. <br/>
