Norwegian Air scrapping Caribbean services
Cash strapped budget carrier Norwegian Air is again paring back services in the US market.
After significant cuts to its transatlantic schedule over the past few months, Norwegian Air will halt services linking North America with the Caribbean.
It flies to the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe from New York JFK, Fort Lauderdale and Montreal.
The seasonal services end in late March and the carrier will not resume them for next winter.
Although it says the routes performed well, basing staff and planes in the Caribbean is a luxury it cannot afford in the present climate, the airline says.
It is no longer ‘financially sustainable’ spokesman Anders Lindstrom said.
Norwegian launched Caribbean services in 2015.
It has been on a major cost-cutting program with wholesale route cuts and plans to downsize its fleet of aircraft.
It has secured more than $300 million in extra funding but is still open to bids and could still be sold.
British Airways owner IAG recently pulled the plug on a possible purchase of the airline, sending Norwegian’s share price tumbling.
