Norwegian Air<\/strong> may order jets from Airbus in the future unless ongoing litigation with Boeing over previous aircraft cancellations is resolved in a timely fashion, the carrier\u2019s chief executive told Reuters<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian, which flies a Boeing-only fleet, emerged from bankruptcy protection last May but is still locked in a dispute over the cancellation of pre-pandemic orders for 97 Boeing aircraft, which is to be decided in U.S. legal proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It however managed to get a similar contract over deliveries from Airbus terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top executives of Norwegian, including Chief Executive Geir Karlsen, last month met with an Airbus sales team, Reuters reported at the time. Karlsen on Friday said this was part of a long-running dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see it as, shall we say, problematic to construct a fleet plan going forward with Boeing while we are sitting in the middle of a litigation with them,\u201d Karlsen said on the sidelines of a corporate earnings presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we need to decide on what to do going forward and if it is even at all possible to come to a commercial deal with Boeing. We wish for that, but we haven\u2019t succeeded so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian operated 51 Boeing 737 aircraft last year and has agreed leasing deals to expand this to 70 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, under the lease terms some of the aircraft can be substituted for \u201cnew technology narrow-body aircraft from either Boeing or Airbus\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wish really to have a fleet which is partly owned and partly leased, and if we are going to do a new aircraft order again, time is sort of running away, you can say,\u201d Karlsen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian and Airbus agreed in February last year on terms to repudiate the carrier\u2019s remaining contract for 88 new aircraft, lawyers representing the two firms told Ireland\u2019s High Court. Among the terms, Airbus was to keep deposits and was still owed 600,000 pounds ($816,540) by Norwegian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
