I'm pretty sure that Norwegian's cost for wet leasing an A380 surpasses their forecasted cost to operate the route themselves with a 787, and they won't get any additional revenue if the switch was made late and they can't sell the additional seat capacity.
Not really. Norwegian usually passes on most of the extra cost of the wetlease to its suppliers who messed up (Boeing for the Dreamburner mess, and RR for the Trent 1000).
