Norwegian Air<\/strong>, which less than a decade ago challenged traditional airlines by launching low-cost transatlantic flights, said Thursday it will eliminate all long-haul flights from its route network as part of a broad range of measures designed to save the company from bankruptcy and ensure a sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline, founded in 1993, has been forced to ground all but six of its 138 aircraft due to the pandemic and will now focus on Nordic and European routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have decided that long-distance transportation is no longer part of our business plan,” said CEO Jacob Schram at an online press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan also includes the closure of units in the United States, Italy, France and Great Britain, including its base at London-Gatwick airport, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline plans to reduce its fleet to about 50 aircraft before expanding to about 70 in 2022, Schram said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian also announced that it will cut 2,000 jobs and seek government assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan must be approved by an Irish bankruptcy court. The next hearing will be on January 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is currently under bankruptcy protection in Ireland while it works to develop a workable plan to continue operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Overall, it seems like a sensible plan. The long-distance business was volatile and generally loss-making since its launch in 2013 – in this environment, withdrawal is the only viable option,” said broker Davy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
