Default Norwegian Air Shuttle (DY) orders 222 narrowbodies

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/art...bodies-367331/

Split over a a large number of Boeing 737-800s and -800MAXs and a smaller number of A320NEOs.

Quite jawdropping, considering they come from a fairly small home market. It looks like they're either setting themselves up to fill the void of one of the majors collapsing, or to expand into a much larger part of Europe.

The press is also saying this is the largest aircraft order in European aviation history, and the largest investment ever made in Norway (outside of the offshore oil industry)

When I emigrated from the country, they were flying a small fleet of Fokker 50s on regional services on behalf of Braathens (BU).
