Inaspettata svolta di Norwegian sul mercato USA. Il vettore low cost norvegese apre voli da diverse città USA della east coast verso i Caraibi. I voli saranno operati con 738.

I voli come spiegato nella nota al comunicato stampa possono essere operati grazie al fatto che Guadalupa e Martinica sono territorio francese da dove quindi Norwegian sfrutta l'open sky UE-USA.

"Guadeloupe and Martinique are both overseas departments of France to which the United States-European Union-Iceland-Norway Air Transport Agreement applies. The agreement authorizes unlimited frequencies between any point or points in the EU and any point or points in U.S. territory for any and all U.S., EU, Icelandic, and Norwegian airlines."

Norwegian Launches US East Coast – Caribbean Routes from Dec 2015

Norwegian Launches Flights from the US to the Caribbean

Norwegian, voted the world’s Best Low-Cost Long-Haul Airline and Europe’s Best Low-Cost Airline for the past three consecutive years by SkyTrax, will launch flights from Boston, Baltimore/Washington, D.C. and New York City to two Caribbean destinations: the Guadeloupe Islands and Martinique. Only two years after launching its long-haul operation, Norwegian will now be the largest foreign airline at New York’s JFK airport in terms of number of routes. The airline currently offers 31 direct routes from the US.

Norwegian’s new seasonal service to the French West Indies will launch on December 3, 2015, with three flights per week from JFK to the Guadeloupe Islands’ Pointe-à-Pitre Internationa lAirport (PTP) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from JFK to Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

“We launched our first long-haul flights to the US two years ago and the response from American travellers has been fantastic. It’s great to see that our low fares, friendly service and new, more environmentally friendly aircraft are appreciated. It is therefore a pleasure to be able to launch new, exotic routes between the US mainland and the Caribbean islands Guadeloupe and Martinique, says Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos.

“We will continue to expand in the US, by launching new routes and establishing more US bases,” continues Kjos.

The new routes will also give Norwegian’s passengers from Europe a golden opportunity to combine a city break in New York with an exotic Caribbean vacation. Norwegian already offers direct flights from London and the Scandinavian capitals to the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico and St Croix, in addition to many other destinations in the US.

A questo punto sfruttando questo escamotage potremo in teoria vedere basi di Ryanair, Easyjet o altre low cost europee nelle isole europee dei Caraibi. Per Ryanair ad esempio potrebbe essere un modo per sfruttare meglio i suoi molti aerei fermi al prato nel periodo invernale in europa quando invece è alta stagione sulle rotte USA-Caraibi.
 
Ricostruendo i giri macchina appare che Norwegian baserà 1 738 a PTP e 1 a FDF.

Tuttavia gli aerei per una low cost risultano poco sfruttati in quanto partono al mattino e rientrano in base intorno alle 18-19, facendo una sola rotazione giornaliera. Sarebbe interessante se ottenessero i diritti per qualche altro volo di breve distanza ad esempio verso altre isole dei Caraibi da inserire nella fascia serale.

Aggiungo che sembra che le macchine non saranno neanche identiche a quelle che hanno in flotta.
Per coprire la rotta un ETOPS60 non basta http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=JFK-PTP&DU=mi&SU=kts&RS=best&E=60

Insomma devono prevedere bei margini se si lanciano in una cosa del genere

Viste le leggi usa sul gioco d'azzardo, vorrei vedere Ryanair vendere le scratch card su un Miami-Fort de France!:)

Norwegian reports a continued passenger growth in July. The airline sets new passenger record with nearly 2.7 million travellers in July, the highest number ever in a single month. July was also characterised by considerable holiday traffic in all markets and a record high load factor of 94 percent.

Norwegian carried 2,690,458 passengers in July, an increase of 8 percent compared to the same month previous year. The total passenger traffic (RPK) increased by 7 percent, while the capacity (ASK) increased by 1 percent this month. The load factor was 93.8 percent in July, up 5.6 percentage points from the same month last year. 97 percent of the long-haul seats were filled in July.

“I am very pleased that so many travellers chose to fly with Norwegian in July. Not only did we set a new passenger record, we also filled the planes better than ever. With a 94 percent load factor, the demand is equally high in well-established markets in Scandinavia and in new markets such as the UK, Germany, Spain and the US. This proves that Norwegian’s international strategy is working and we are even better equipped to meet the tough competition going forward,” said CEO Bjorn Kjos.

Norwegian operated 99.9 percent of its scheduled flights in July, whereof 76 percent departed on time

Cesare, sull'altro thread Norwegian avevo postato giorni fa un'analisi interessante fatta da anna.aero sull'andamento dei voli di lungo da Gatwick degli ultimi 12 mesi.
http://www.aviazionecivile.org/vb/s...ndra-Gatwick?p=1698198&viewfull=1#post1698198


Analisi anna.aero sul primo anno di attivita' delle rotte UK-US di Norwegian:


According to UK CAA data Norwegian has transported around 212,000 passengers in the first 12 months across all three routes, none of which are served by any other carrier from Gatwick.
The New York route has seen almost 100,000 passengers followed by Los Angeles (65,000) and Fort Lauderdale (almost 50,000).
Using CAA data for aircraft movements, and assuming that all flights were operated by the airline’s 291-seat 787-8s, we can estimate the actual load factors for each route for each month.
These are impressively high right from the first month. No route has achieved an estimated load factor of less than 88% for any month in the first year of operation.
Overall, across the first year we estimate that the Fort Lauderdale route had a load factor of 93.2%, just beating New York JFK (93.1%) and Los Angeles (92.4%). Impressively, the doubling of frequency from May on the New York and Los Angeles routes did not have a detrimental impact on load factors, though demand for these routes would naturally be stronger as the summer season evolves.



Ci sono delle discrepanze visto che, se non ricordo male, DY aveva preso in leasing degli A330 o A340 durante un periodo in cui avevano grounded i 787. Aldila' di questo mi sembrano comunque dati di riempimento buoni. Da verificarne pero' l'effettivo rendimento.

Norwegian yesterday announced new route launch between the US and Guadeloupe, where it plans to offer Ft. Lauderdale – Pointe-a-Pitre flights, starting 17DEC16. This route will be served twice a week by Norwegian Air Shuttle (DY).

solo applausi per la Norwegian che sta dimostrando di credere in nuovi progetti e non far la "guerra" solo tra i soliti. Sta aprendo una nuova frontiera per le Low Cost e sinceramente, conoscendo un pò il mondo dell'aereonautica ben presto anche Ryan, Easy e Vueling inizieranno a seguirla (Lungo raggio? perchè no se funziona con loro)
