For the second year running, Norwegian has been voted «Best low-cost airline in Europe» by the renowned SkyTrax World Airline Awards. It is the passengers themselves who have evaluated over 200 airlines worldwide in what is described as the most prestigious award in the airline industry. Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos received the prize today at Farnborough Air Show.
“This award means so much to us. I am very proud and humble to receive such an important recognition two years in a row. I want to thank all our passengers who have given Norwegian such great references. At the same time, I also want to thank all the employees at Norwegian, who each and every day of the year do their utmost for our passengers. This title proves that brand new planes, an expansive route network, good service on board and low fares are appreciated,” said Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos.
"For Norwegian to triumph yet again in the Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe category is a fantastic achievement, and one which the airline should be proud of. Europe is well known to be one of the most competitive regions in the low cost market and Norwegian continues to be a popular choice with customers not only for short hops around the continent but also on its burgeoning long haul network," said Edward Plaisted, CEO, Skytrax.
