Norwegian Joins Airlines for Europe

Norwegian, Europe’s third largest low-cost carrier, has agreed to join Airlines for Europe (A4E) - a new airline association.

A4E was launched last month by founding members Air France KLM, easyJet, International Airlines Group, Lufthansa Group and Ryanair.

Thomas Reynaert, A4E’s Managing Director, said, “Airlines for Europe is open for business and ready to represent the interests of all European airlines. We will grow our member base over the next months, uniting more European airlines to take forward changes that will increase our competitiveness and result in lower fares and more choice for passengers. I am thrilled to welcome Norwegian and Finnair to A4E.”

Norwegian CEO, Bjorn Kjos, added, “Norwegian has always believed in healthy competition among airlines to create more choice and lower fares for passengers. But we also firmly believe in an industry where low-cost and network carriers can unite to tackle the many issues we all face together. We are delighted to join Airlines for Europe to add our voice to the important debate about the huge challenges and opportunities our industry faces in the future.”
