Grounded Norwegian Air Boeing 787-8 could return to short haul service later this week
Norwegian Air said its grounded Boeing 787 Dreamliner could return to short haul service later this week and is so confident in the aircraft it will probably order more. The airline’s chief executive Bjorn Kjos said the 787 was a better aircraft than advertised but Boeing was unprepared to cope with its teething problems. Other budget airlines will flock to it once the jet’s reliability is improved because it has performed so well the business case for long haul flights is better than expected,… (airguideonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The 787 is overdelivering on fuel burn performance, based on numbers promised by Boeing sales. That's good.
Unlucky was referring to Norwegian getting a plane wiry what he considers more than expected new plane teething problems. Since Norwegian elected to pay for the Gold Care, they expect a higher level of service from Boeing in dealing with maintenance, especially when much of it is new plane issues.
Unlucky means that all 787s are not horrible. But rather that Norwegian just got a bad one or two.
The numbers on fuel burn are so good that Norwegian can't wait to be flying a larger fleet of them as soon as possible. They just don't want to have to pay for the new plane issues.

Thanks for that Photo, I can see how the situation came about.
Simply amazing what a couple of days and some $ can do to change an attitude
I still believe someone was stealing filters off this machine and they have found the trail and jailed the culprit. A lot of these places like Norway are not blessed with the technicians we have in EUR and USA.
They have first rate techies but most of them go into maritime posts because the pay is three times higher.
The customers love the B787 and so do the techies and crews. As usually it is the MBA set who have no made provison to incorporate the model into the fleet.
Most of them are clueless about what it takes to keep an airliner running. A lot of them cannot tell if a machine is an Airbus or a Boeing.
God help us all.

Norway is on the 12th floor, your elevator only goes to the 6th.
One thing is for sure. NATO on this side of the pond can protect our sky scrapers. Damn site better than your side of the deal did on 9/11. You are locked and foxed. Sionara.

Norway is not in Europe?

Do you not get the impression that this guy writes scripts and has the mentality of your average Sesame Street fan?
Where do they dig these guys up from? I get the impression he regards capital investments as a speculative pass time as on a trip to Vegas. The sales guys at Boeing, along with the customer support teams, must at times, be banging their heads agin a wall.
