Norwegian temporarily suspends flights with the Boeing 737 MAX, following recommendations by European aviation authorities

Norwegian has more than 110 Boeing 737–800 aircraft in its fleet, which are not affected by this temporary suspension.

Norwegian would like to apologise to customers who will be affected by temporary cancellations and delays, but the safety and security of its customers and colleagues will never be compromised, and once authorities advise ceasing operations Norwegian will of course comply.

Tomas Hesthammer, Norwegian’s acting Chief Operating Officer said: “In response to the temporary suspension of Being 737 MAX operations by multiple aviation authorities we have taken the decision to not operate flights using this aircraft type until advised otherwise by the relevant aviation authorities. We would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused, however, safety will always remain our top priority.”
