Norwegian orders two more B787-9 Dreamliners
Norwegian has signed an agreement to acquire another two new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. Both aircraft are scheduled to enter service on long-haul routes in summer 2017. The 787-9 is six metres longer than the 787-8s Norwegian currently operate on its long-haul routes, and they can also fly longer.
Today, Norwegian has eight 787-8s in its long-haul fleet, as well as eleven 787-9s on order. The airline will have 19 Dreamliner aircraft in its fleet by 2018.
Bjørn Kjos,
Norwegian’s CEO, said: "In order to make our long-haul operation even more competitive, we are dependent on more brand new cost-efficient aircraft. Our long-haul routes have been very popular and I´m very satisfied to have secured more Dreamliners. This will enable us to launch even more routes to exiting destinations all over the world. This is a fantastic airplane with high passenger comfort, long range and low fuel burn.” The 787-9 has 344 seats, 35 in premium economy and 309 in economy.
