Budget airline Norwegian has announced its plan to acquire 10 Boeing (NYSE:BA) 737-800 aircraft from its leased fleet, aiming to cut costs and enhance flexibility. The transaction, set to close in Q1, will be initially funded through the airline’s cash reserves, with long-term financing under consideration.
CEO Geir Karlsen highlighted that the move will bring both immediate and long-term financial benefits. Norwegian expects a one-time gain of approximately 570 million Norwegian crowns ($50.7 million) due to favorable pricing and reduced lease liabilities. Additionally, the deal is projected to generate recurring cost savings of around 200 million crowns annually, even after financing costs.
This strategic decision aligns with Norwegian’s ongoing efforts to optimize its fleet and strengthen financial stability, ensuring greater operational flexibility in the future.
