Norwegian will operate the 787 Dreamliner on European routes this summer
Norwegian will operate its brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner on several European routes this summer, including London – Oslo. Norwegian’s passengers will also have the opportunity to experience the state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner on selected routes from Oslo to Alicante, Malaga, Nice and Barcelona.
Norwegian is scheduled to take delivery of its first 787 Dreamliner at the end of June. Before the aircraft enters long-haul service, it will operate selected European routes out of Oslo. Scores of passengers will be able to enjoy the comfort of the new aircraft.
Customers that have already booked tickets on these flights will receive information from Norwegian on e-mail about the Dreamliner replacing the Boeing 737. Many more seats will be available for sale on these flights, making it possible to be among the first to experience the Dreamliner. The Dreamliner is scheduled to operate on European routes from July 4 to August 4.
The 787 Dreamliner will reduce the company’s costs and enable Norwegian to offer competitive airfare. Not least, the Dreamliner is the most environmentally friendly option available today, with 20 percent less emissions than comparable aircraft. In addition to these operational benefits, the aircraft features a number of innovations that will benefit the passengers. The cabin is pressurized at a lower level, making the air more similar to ground level, reducing the typical “jet lag” – symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain. The humidity will be higher, reducing the symptoms of dry eyes and dry skin. The aircraft is fitted with the Dreamliner interior which passengers have already enjoyed on many of Norwegian’s newest Boeing 737-800s.
Norwegian currently has eight 787 Dreamliners on order, three of which will be delivered in 2013, four in 2014 and one in 2015.
Norwegian has signed an agreement to lease two Airbus A340-300 long-haul aircraft that will be used on intercontinental flights until the Dreamliner enters service.
