Tail Fin Heroes
When Norwegian's first Boeing 737-300 took off in 2002, the company challenged a well-established and long-standing monopoly in the aviation industry. It was therefore a natural decision for us to decorate the tail fins of our aircraft with the portraits of people who have broken boundaries, challenged norms and inspired others.
Today, our fleet consists mainly of Boeing 737-800 aircraft, and we fly to key destinations in Europe and the inspiration for our tail heroes come from across the continent. Below is a list of some of the heroes that adorn the tailfins of our aircraft.
