Norwegian has cut its route network to just a dozen domestic services and furloughed a further 1,600 staff after its fresh bid for financial support was turned down by Norway’s government.

Norwegian's route network has been cut to just 12 domestic services

On Monday (9 November), Norwegian warned it faced "a very uncertain future" after ministers refused to provide further state aid, and said the move risked damaging the country’s competitiveness.


Prior to the pandemic, Norwegian employed more than 10,000 people but will now operate with just 600. It has also parked 15 of the 21 aircraft it had been operating in recent months.
