Norwegian to Buy 10 Leased Boeing Aircraft
Norwegian's acquisition of its own leased fleet is expected to bring short-term cost savings and long-term flexibility in fleet planning, as the airline seeks to reduce its reliance on external financing. The deal is part of Norwegian's broader efforts to improve its financial stability and competitiveness in the budget airline market. By taking control of its aircraft lease, the carrier aims to increase its pricing power and negotiate better deals with leasing companies.

- How will Norwegian's long-term success depend on its ability to maintain a delicate balance between cost savings and investment in new technologies and routes?
