Norwegian evaluates long-haul flights from Germany

Norwegian is continuing its long-haul expansion by studying long-haul routes from Germany, although the LCC would not confirm specific routes. “Norwegian is growing in Germany,” a spokesperson said. “Also, 250 [ordered] aircraft are coming to Norwegian. We see a potential for long-haul flights from Germany,” she said. Norwegian has 30 Airbus A321LR aircraft on firm order, which could potentially be used on a German route. The A321LR has a range of up to 4,000 nm, making it suitable for routes between the US east coast and Europe. “The A321LR makes it much easier [to open new long-haul routes],” the spokesman pointed out. “But so far we have no specifics on if Norwegian would operate routes, for example, from Frankfurt, Hamburg or other German cities.” <br/>
