Our Story
Norwegian is one of the largest low-cost carriers in the world with around 11,000 dedicated colleagues. Our customers can choose from around 500 routes to more than 150 destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Asia, South America, the US and Canada.
We were founded in 1993, but only began operating as a low-cost carrier with bigger Boeing 737 aircraft in 2002. We are constantly introducing brand new aircraft to our fleet, as well as launching new routes and establishing new bases in Europe, Asia, the US and South America.
Today, we have around 170 aircraft and boast one of the world's youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets with an average age of just 3.8 years. New aircraft is a win-win for the customers, the environment and the company's costs and is key in order to maintain our vision of offering affordable fares for all.
