"As we expand our markets and provide more low-cost options for our rapidly growing customer base, it makes strategic sense that the 737-800 forms the bedrock of our fleet," Bjorn Kjos, chief executive of the Oslo-based low-cost carrier, said in a news release. "We are also pleased because the airplanes have one of the best environmental profiles in the industry, significantly reducing emissions and noise."
Norwegian, founded on Sept. 1, 2002, has more than 200 routes to 90 destinations and carried more than 10 million passengers over the past 12 months, Kjos said.
Aldo Basile, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of Sales for Europe and Russia, said: "Norwegian's repeat order is a strategic move that confirms the suitability of the 737-800 to the low-fare airline model, providing unmatched levels of efficiency and utilization."
Norwegian will be one of the first airlines in Europe to incorporate the new 737 Boeing Sky Interior starting at the end of 2010, Boeing said. It said the interior, inspired by design research on the 787 Dreamliner, will feature the soft, blue-sky-like overhead lighting, contemporary sculpted sidewalls and window reveals designed to draw eyes to the windows.
Norwegian has opted for a 186-seat configuration in the 737-800s, whose full capacity configuration has 189 seats. The carrier uses Recaro seats.
