They epanded quick, now the fall off from brexit scaremongery and global economics means rather than earning a fast buck, they are building business at a slightly slower rate.

There have been rumours predicting their demise ever since they started, I think some of them are instigated by those with a vested interest.

Anyone who remembers the dirty tricks of both BA and Virgin against Laker and Peoples Express will agree I suspect !

We like Norwegian and are flying with them again next month. This will be our 3rd long haul trip with them in PE, which is very good.

Like someone else said, most airlines are only a bad quarter away from trouble.

There seems to be a lot of scare mongering going on!

Weird how brexit (a thing that hasn't yet happened) has affected an airline that isn't even UK registered and has over 90% of its passengers flying routes that never touch the UK.

I'm no fan of brexit, but you just can't blame it for everything.

I had the other day that someone shot a polar bear in Canada, on the news they said it wouldnt have happened usually but because of brexit...

The same rumours were doing the rounds last year but we flew with them in August and will probably use them again next year as they seem to come out cheapest.

Flying with anyone is a risk at the moment. TC are profitable, but TC holidays is looking to sell it's flight operations. Wouldn't stop me booking a flight with them.

Norwegian could go bust, alternatively they could keep going, all depends on funding. Ensure your Holiday Insurance has cover for Supplier failure and let the Insurer worry, not you.

Some of the stuff people try and blame on Brexit does make me giggle. It reminds me of the Millenium Bug that was going to bring the world to a grinding halt !

Which it would have done if programmers such as myself hadn’t spent three years fixing it.
It was never going to stop your fridge working but there was a good chance it would have calculated negative interest on your bank account (the area I worked on).

I think the current uncertainty is making people more cautious so this has a knock on effect on people booking holidays. So while the airline isnt directly affecting by the EU, nervous customers opting to stay home would.
