Norwegian is expanding the existing Boeing order by exercising its option to purchase 30 additional Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, bringing the total firm order to 80 aircraft. In connection with the option exercise, Norwegian and Boeing have agreed to adjust certain delivery dates, with the final aircraft in the order now scheduled for delivery in 2031.
The first use of biofuel for the defence sector's business trips with Norwegian was marked at Ålesund Airport Vigra today. Norwegian will blend 15 percent biofuel on over 1 million business trips until 2028. The agreement is the largest of its kind in Norwegian history, and most likely the first in a NATO context.
Norwegian is now a shareholder in Norsk e-Fuel. The company will establish what could be the world's first large-scale production facility for electrofuel. The fossil-free jet fuel will be produced at a plant in Mosjøen in Nordland. The partnership will give Norwegian early access to essential fossil-free aviation fuels.
Norwegian is to purchase fossil-free aviation fuel to power the equivalent of 100 flights between Aalborg and Copenhagen. The initiative proves that reducing the climate footprint of Danish aviation is already possible today.
