Norwegian tredje minst punktligaste flygbolaget

Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (OSE: NAS), trading as Norwegian, is a Norwegian low-cost airline that is the third largest low-cost carrier in Europe, the 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 Scandinavia and Finland, and to business destinations such as London, as well as to holiday destinations in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, transporting over 30 million people in 2016. The airline is known for its distinctive livery of white with a red nose, with individual portraits of noteworthy Scandinavians on the tail fins of its aircraft. Norwegian launched its long-haul operation in May 2013. The long-haul flights were intended to be operated by two fully owned subsidiaries, Norwegian Long Haul and Irish based Norwegian Air International (NAI), which has a unique air operator's certificate (AOC) but shares branding and commercial functions with the rest of the Group. Due to delayed approval of a Foreign Air Service Permit from the U.S. Department of Transportation for NAI however, all long-haul flights were initially performed by the parent company under its original AOC.
