Norwegian has previously also been courted by IAG, but turned down any offers.

I hope Norwegian is smart enough to friendly decline unless they are forced to because of financial problems... but if they're able to survive on their own I would hope that would be the case or else pretty soon there will be very few airlines in Europe just as is the case in the USA and its not good for the public!
