Norwegian Group orders 30 Boeing 737-8 airplanes

Boeing (BA) and Norwegian Group announced that the airline group has placed an order for 30 737-8 airplanes as the airline looks to expand its service across Europe. The agreement represents the group’s first direct Boeing order since 2017 and increases their 737 MAX order book to 80 airplanes. Norwegian has predominantly operated Boeing single-aisle airplanes since placing its first order in 2007. It was the first European airline to take delivery of the 737 MAX in 2017 and was also the first airline to operate the 737-8 model on transatlantic routes between Europe and the U.S.
