Norwegian Air has completed its financial restructuring process which saw the airline axe low-cost long-haul routes.
The carrier has cut its debt by approximately NOK 63-65 billion (about £5.3 billion) and reduced its fleet from 156 to 51 aircraft.
It has terminated aircraft orders with Boeing and Airbus, which would have cost approximately NOK 85 billion.
Norwegian Air now intends to operate its fleet on a short-haul network primarily in Norway and the Nordics, or from Norway and the Nordics to continental Europe.
Last month it operated just 10 aircraft, mainly on domestic routes in Norway.
In a statement, the carrier said: “The company and the examinership companies have successfully emerged from the examinership and the reconstruction, completed the capital raise, implemented the restructuring proposal and concluded the restructuring.”
Chief executive Jacob Schram said: “Today, a Norwegian airline with a long history and a large employee base that adds great value to Norway and the tourism industry has been saved. This is a proud day and marks a new beginning for Norwegian.”
