Norwegian Group

Norwegian Group is a European low-cost airline headquartered in Oslo, based out of Scandinavia.

It is one of the largest low-cost carriers in Europe, the second-largest airline in Scandinavia, and the ninth-largest airline in Europe in terms of passenger numbers. It offers a high-frequency domestic flight schedule within Europe and Scandinavia, and to business destinations such as London, Paris and Vienna, as well as to holiday destinations in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, transporting over 130 million people in 2020. The airline is known for its distinctive livery of white with a red nose, with portraits of high achievers on the tail fins of its aircraft. On the Group's subsidiary Norwegian Long Haul, the airline operates flights to North America, South America and Asia.

Norwegian's flights are operated by itself as well as fully owned subsidiaries. Each airline holds a unique air operator's certificate (AOC) but shares branding, corporate identity, and commercial functions with the rest of the Group.

Until June 2021, Norwegian also owned and operated Norwegian Air Argentina, which operated domestic flights within the country. Until November 2021, Norwegian's Cherry Japan operated ultra-low-cost short and long-haul flights on behalf of the company, after which the subsidiary was bought out by Cobalt Skyways due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Until this day, Norwegian is still utilizing Ireland-based Norwegian Air International for European-based operations outside of Norway.

Expansion to the East
Norwegian started in Summer of 2021, summer seasonal flights from Oslo Gardermoen and London Gatwick to Tokyo Narita after a successful relationship with Cherry Asia (later to be sold off). These flights ended that summer, but are to be restarted in Spring of 2022 with a full-year service from not only Oslo and London, but also from Copenhagen in Denmark.

Norwegian announced in the spring of 2022 a LCC subsidiary to be formed in the United Arab Emirates based at Abu Dhabi. The subsidiary received its AOC later that month and is to perform its first flight with the A321neo to Larnaca on the 1st of March 2022.
