Looking pretty grim, 50% of their workforce made redundant and thousands of flights cancelled. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the next casualty. I've got flights booked to New York in August, thankfully booked on a credit card.

Good luck to their staff who have been layed off.

    Every airline will now be looking at their options to mitigate the disaster the industry faces over the next weeks and months.  Many big European household name airlines are parking aircraft and asking crew and staff to reduce hours, take unpaid leave, agree to reduced rosters etc.  Norwegian aren't the only one.

    They've been in squeaky-bottom territory for several years. The tide is going out and them as are missing trunks are being found out.
