Budget airline Norwegian has sought bankruptcy protection (examinership) in Ireland, where its aircraft assets are held.

Norwegian will offer flights to Scandinavia from four UK and Irish airports in summer 2022

The carrier said: “The purpose of the process is to reduce debt, rightsize the fleet and secure new capital. This reorganisation process protects the assets of the Norwegian group while allowing the company to focus on the rightsizing of the group. The process is estimated to take up to five months.”

Norwegian will continue to operate its route network and trade on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
