They are not now flying this route - service commences on 30 May next.

Norwegian signed a lease for 2 A340-300s to cover their long haul routes (New York and Bangkok) until the 787s are ready. They will be operated as a wet-lease from Portuguese airline Hi-Fly. (The two craft in question apparently originally were owned by Singapore Airlines and Emirates).

The good news is that, if you booked a premium economy seat for the Dreamliner, you will be seated in business class on the A340.
