Norwegian sbarca in Argentina e apre il suo primo volo di lungo raggio verso il sud America: Londra Gatwick-Buenos Aires 4x week da febbraio 2018.

Dopo Stati Uniti, Tailandia e Singapore il network di lungo raggio si espande quindi al sud America.

Sicuramente visto i legami e il forte traffico esistente sarebbero molto interessanti in prospettiva voli da BCN e FCO verso EZE, bilaterali permettendo.

Norwegian adds London – Buenos Aires service from Feb 2018

Norwegian starting February 2018 will launch its first route to South America, with the addition of a London Gatwick – Buenos Aires Ezeiza route. Operating under Norwegian Air UK’s DI-coded flight numbers, Boeing 787-9 aircraft will serve this route from 14FEB18.

This four times weekly service is subject to government approval.

Kos ha grandi piani in Argentina.
Ha dichiarato che intendono aprire una seconda base argentina a Cordoba ed hanno fatto richiesta alle autorita' argentine per operare fino a 140 rotte fra nazionali ed internazionali.
Ulteriori voli sull'Europa sono nei piani appena verranno concessi i permessi limitati dagli attuali bilaterali.

Hanno in cantiere un AOC argentino? Mi sembra l'unica via possibile per i progetti che hanno hanno.

Norwegian Argentina ha ottenuto l'AOC nei giorni scorsi, è già arrivato un primo 738 basato come si vede nella foto. Penso che a breve annunceranno le prime rotte e la data di partenza dei voli.

Stranamente i nazionali opereranno da AEP mentre il lungo raggio da EZE, in questo modo non potranno offrire connessioni.

Fino a qualche tempo fa mi sembra che fosse la normalita' per tutti, non so se ora Aerolineas fa tutto da EZE? Comunque, mi chiedo come vadano le cose ora con la crisi profondissima che l'economia argentina sta nuovamente attraversando...

E poi, che ne sara' di Aerolineas Argentinas? Non brilla di luce propria e le sue alleanze internazionali non l'aiutano, e' oscurata da LATAM che (signora compagnia) la fa da padrone in Sud America ed ora si trova sempre piu' low cost in casa...
 
Norwegian Air Argentina details launch dates

Norwegian has detailed the launch dates of its new domestic service in Argentina, which will begin from 16 October.
Norwegian Air Argentina will connect Buenos Aires Aeroparque with Cordoba and Mendoza from 16 October, followed by Iguazu and Neuquen from 19 November, and finally Bariloche and Salta from 3 December.
The airline will operate twice daily to Cordoba and daily to Mendoza, Iguazu, Neuquen, Bariloche and Salta, with Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Norwegian operates from London Gatwick to Buenos Aires Ezeiza, which means passengers connecting to its Argentinean affiliate's flights would have to switch airports in Buenos Aires. Due to the operations out of different airports, passengers travelling to and from London will have to book domestic Argentina flights separately, says Norwegian.
Norwegian Air Argentina will face competition on all of its its new routes, FlightGlobal schedules data show. It competes directly against Aerolineas Argentinas, LATAM Airlines Argentina and Andes Lineas Aereas on the services to Cordoba, Mendoza, Iguazu, Bariloche and Salta. Aerolineas and LATAM operate from Aeroparque to Neuquen.
Aerolineas also operates from Buenos Aires Ezeiza to Cordoba, Mendoza, Iguazu, Bariloche and Salta. LATAM offers nonstop service from Ezeiza to Iguazu.
Separately, low-cost carrier Flybondi operates from Buenos Aires El Palomar to the six destinations Norwegian Air Argentina will launch service to. FG

 
L'avventura argentina e' gia finita.

Norwegian sells Argentinian unit to JetSmart


Norwegian has sold its Argentinian subsidiary to Chilean low-cost carrier JetSmart for an undisclosed amount, as the Scandinavian group looks to cut costs and focus on core operations."As Norwegian moves from growth to profitability, we are taking all the necessary actions required to ensure that Norwegian is well-positioned going forward," states acting chief executive and finance chief Geir Karlsen.

Control of Norwegian Air Argentina's operations have been transferred with immediate effect.
Norwegian's three Boeing 737s are not included in the deal. They will return to Europe over the next six months and be replaced with JetSmart Airbus A320s.

"Over the past few months we have made important changes to our route network to ensure long-term profitability," states Karlsen. "Attaining satisfactory profitability for a relatively small domestic operation has proved difficult to achieve, given the overall situation in the country."

Profitability was also hampered by rapid devaluation of the Argentinian peso, creating a significant gap between the subsidiary's earnings and its dollar-denominated costs.
JetSmart will continue to operate Norwegian Air Argentina's scheduled flights from Buenos Aires Aeroparque airport. However, the unit's branding is to be phased out over the coming months.

The enlarged JetSmart group will control around 10% of the domestic market and will be the third-largest operator in the country.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to combine Norwegian Argentina with our current JetSmart operations," states chief executive Estuardo Ortiz. "JetSmart has a long-term commitment to Argentina as well as of our vision of becoming the leading ultra-low-cost airline in South America. With this transaction we will continue providing affordable air travel to our customers both from Aeroparque and El Palomar airports."

All of Norwegian Air Argentina's flights are domestic, and the sale will not impact Norwegian's long-haul flights from London to Buenos Aires, which are operated by Norwegian Air UK.

Norwegian Air Argentina began operations in October 2018 with a fleet of three Boeing 737-800s. It operated 20 daily flights across eight routes between Aeroparque airport and Bariloche, Cordoba, Iguazu, Jujuy, Mendoza, Neuquen, Salta and Ushuaia.Separately, Norwegian has disclosed the appointment of Marty St George as interim chief commercial officer.

St George has more than 30 years' industry experience. Until recently, he served as commercial chief at JetBlue Airways, having previously held positions at United Airlines and US Airways.

Helga Bollmann Leknes, who had been serving as commercial chief, "has decided to leave the company after two years, following changes in Norwegian's top management team", says the airline. Cirium
