Norwegian Air glides into the Polish market today, sees huge potential

The company claims that the Polish market has huge prospects. "We launch these flights having in mind Poles looking for a job in Norway. This will be an alternative to taking the ferry," said Anne Grete Ellingsen, spokeswoman of Norwegian Air. The company is also hoping to attract Norwegian tourists. The airline is not afraid of the competition, due to the fact that connections with Norway are only catered for by Poland's national carrier, LOT. The company might consider further expansion of its flight network if it achieves a 75% booking level. However the company will have to face a new competitor, as Air Lithuania is also intending to offer flights from Gdańsk and Oslo. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) M.M.
