Credevo sarebbe arrivata prima la base a bcn ... In ogni caso in bocca al lupo!!
 
Dopo Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife e Las Palmas quella di Madrid è la quinta base spagnola di Norwegian, in pratica questi norvegesi stanno colonizzando la Spagna. :)

Se consideriamo anche la presenza massiccia di Ryanair, Easyjet e Vueling il breve e medio raggio in Spagna è praticamente in mano alle low cost, alle major restano le briciole.
 
Dopo la dipartita di FR ed U2 Norwegian raccoglie qualche briciolina ma a differenza delle altre basi manca l'appeal turistico di massa.

Solo Easyjet da chiuso base a MAD, Ryanair è rimasta pur chiudendo diverse rotte.

Tra l'altro entrambe le compagnie si sono dette pronte a riaprire diverse rotte da MAD a seguito dei pesanti incentivi recentemente annunciati da Aena per chi apre nuove rotte da MAD.
 
Press release ufficiale:

Norwegian opens a new base in Madrid and continues to expand its Spanish route network

Norwegian continues to expand in Europe and will open a new base of operations in Madrid in summer 2014. Along with the new base, the company also launches six new routes from Madrid to Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Hamburg, Warsaw and London.

The new base in Madrid is Norwegian’s fifth base in Spain, along with Alicante, Malaga, Las Palmas and Tenerife.

“We have decided to open a new base in Madrid to meet the demand for direct flights between the Spanish capital and important cities in Europe. We see a major passenger potential from the main airport in Madrid. At the same time, it is strategically important for Norwegian to have a base in the Spanish capital in light of our presence in the Spanish market and not least, in term of our future plans,” says Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos.

“Norwegian’s entry to Madrid Barajas airport is excellent news for all Madrilenians. The company is growing rapidly through offering quality, more environmentally friendly flights at a low fare. The regional Government of Madrid is indeed proud that Norwegian has chosen our airport to increase its expansion in Europe. Madrid has a unique offer for tourists and companies worldwide, and thanks to Norwegian the region's connectivity will certainly be improved,” said Ignacio González, President of Region of Madrid Ignacio González.

Two aircraft based in Madrid and six new, direct routes

Norwegian will base two Boeing 737-800 aircraft at its base in Madrid. In addition, the company will recruit 70 pilots and 140 cabin crew locally and launch six new routes that will start operating during summer 2014.

Mah, non capisco perchè non fanno anche la possibilita di connessione ai voli long haul low cost... con un Venezia-Oslo-NY in promo a 299 sarei sempre a bordo!
 
Forse perchè le connessioni prevedono una struttura organizzativa diversa da quella di U2 e DY, e non voleresti a 299eur? :)
