Second-hand A380 superjumbo to fly London-NYC with Norwegian Air
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA will fly the first used Airbus A380 between London and New York this month as the carrier seeks to replace capacity it lost when some of its Boeing 787 planes were grounded for engine issues. The leasing deal for the 12-year-old superjumbo comes after Thomas Cook Group flew the used jet on 2 routes this week as a stop-gap solution. The plane, which spent a decade in service at SIA and comes with top-notch luxury seating, is the first A380 to be flown on the secondary market. Norwegian will operate the 4-engined aircraft for “several weeks” in August, a spokesman for the airline confirmed. The airline is using the latest fuel-efficient technology to keep its costs down, but has struggled to build capacity as some of its Dreamliners were side-lined for unexpected engine maintenance. <br/>
