Norwegian maintains plan to sell most of its A320neos on order
Norwegian intends to stick to its strategy to sell up to 140 aircraft, the airline wrote in an investor presentation Sept 4, confirming plans for large-scale asset disposals. The LCC hopes to “disclose news about the transaction” before the end of the year, CFO Geir Karlsen said, referring to efforts to hand on most of its big order for Airbus A320neo family aircraft to another customer. According to Airbus, Norwegian has firm orders for 65 A320neos and 30 A321neos (the LR variant capable of transatlantic range flying). “The Airbus A320neos are for all practical purposes for sale,” Karlsen said. The fate of the larger variant is not as clear as the airline may choose to keep some of them for Norwegian Air Argentina. The airline has also started selling of some of its older Boeing 737-800s, 6 of which are to leave the fleet this year. <br/>
