Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA

Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA is a Norwegian low-cost airline that provides scheduled and charter air travel services in Norway and internationally. Founded in 1993 as a regional carrier taking over services from Busy Bee, it evolved into Scandinavia's second-largest airline behind Scandinavian Airlines, operating high-frequency domestic flights within Scandinavia and Finland, as well as routes to business hubs like London and leisure destinations in the Mediterranean and Canary Islands. The company, headquartered in Fornebu near Oslo, manages a fleet primarily of Boeing 737-800 aircraft through subsidiaries including Norwegian Air Shuttle AOC AS and Norwegian Air Sweden AOC AB, each holding separate air operator's certificates. It engages in ancillary activities such as aircraft financing, leasing, ownership, and cargo operations. Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA plays a significant role in Europe's low-cost carrier market as the largest airline in Norway and fourth-largest in Europe by passenger volume pre-restructuring, serving over 100 destinations with a focus on efficiency and affordability for both business and leisure travelers.
