“The addition of these modern, fuel-efficient aircraft fits well with our fleet strategy. It will also help offset Boeing’s delays on other aircraft due for delivery to Norwegian this spring,” said Geir Karlsen, Norwegian’s CEO.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is approximately 14% more fuel efficient compared to previous-generation aircraft, contributing to Norwegian’s ambitious goal of reducing its carbon emissions by 45% by 2030.
