Norwegian fleet expanding by 'crazy number' says airline's sales chief

Norwegian is "on the cusp" of growing too fast, one of its bosses has admitted. Head of sales in the UK and Ireland Dominic Tucker said the carrier was increasing the size of its fleet by " a crazy number". But he insisted the firm had a " strong cash flow" and was profitable. Concerns have been raised about the future of Norwegian due to its policy of rapid expansion. The airline, has around 130 aircraft and more than 260 on order. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary claimed in September that " Norwegian will go in 4 or 5 months" as it is "running out of cash". Tucker accepted that taking delivery of 19 new aircraft this year was "a crazy number which we're managing to juggle". He said the airline was "having to guess" where it should fly because it lacked the historical data of long-established rivals. <br/>
