Norwegian’s Argentina plans take shape

The Norwegian Group Board of Directors on May 9. approved the launch of Norwegian Air Argentina’s plans of operation. The commencement of routes is dependent on government approvals. The Norwegian Group established an Argentinian subsidiary in January 2017 and has applied for an Argentinian Air Operator’s Certificate, which is currently pending approval before the Argentinian government. In the application, Norwegian outlines plans for a considerable operation, including domestic and international flights. Following the board approval, Norwegian will immediately begin to hire administrative staff in Argentina. Recruitment of crew will commence in late summer. Pending government approval, the first new routes will be announced and available for sale by year-end 2017.
