@Airlineroute At the launch of summer 2018 schedule (24/25MAR18), Norwegian’s long-haul service from London Gatwick moved from DY to DI (Norwegian Air International).
@aviator_aero Norwegian [Air] is a bottomless pit, even before they get all their B787s – Karl Johan Molnes, at Norne Securities, “[They] should do is put down the long-distance effort. Now, the company will also invest in Argentina, a market where nobody is earning money.”.. ouch!.
@e_russell SIA chief Goh says Boeing is “sharing” details of the NMA as the possible aircraft progresses. No specific interest, but cud work for Group airlines like Scoot.
@RWMann Replying to @jonostrower 200 pax at a time. Jury still out. If fare premium doesn’t materialize and hold, could still end up like SQ ULR nonstops – economics busted.
@winglets747 Many ultra-long-hauls are planned to have marginal profits or be loss-making, but are deemed strategic for their network and corporate contribution.
