Norwegian already operates short-haul flights from Paris Orly Airport to European destinations:Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Helsinki.
Norwegian will thus offer over 212,000 long-haul seats in its first full year of operations at Charles-de-Gaulle. The flights will be served by Norwegian’s brand new, start-of-the art fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with a capacity of 291 seats —32 seats in Premium class and 259 in Economy class.
With an average fleet age of just 3.6 years, Norwegian has one of the youngest and greenest fleets in the world. The Dreamliner produces 20 per cent fewer emissions than comparable aircraft and in 2015, Norwegian was named the most fuel-efficient airline on transatlantic routes by The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).
Norwegian currently operates a fleet of eight Dreamliners, which will grow to 38 by the year 2020.
