Norwegian and Air Lease Corporation (ALC) have signed a letter of intent for the carrier to lease six Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
The aircraft "are in addition to the three 737 MAX 8 aircraft which Norwegian previously agreed to lease from ALC of which one has already been delivered," Norwegian said in a statement.
“The addition of these modern and fuel-efficient aircraft fits well with our fleet strategy. It will also help counteract delays from Boeing for other aircraft that were due to be delivered to Norwegian this spring,” said Geir Karlsen, chief executive of Norwegian, which said the aircraft are to be delivered "in good time ahead of the summer 2023 season".
