I fully agree. I seriously doubt their aircraft leases are in ISK. The largest item that they have in ISK is likely payroll.

I don't think this will work for Indigo Partners; I expect them to walk away. A collapse of WoW would keep Norwegian Air alive a little while longer unless some other greater fool steps in and fills the void with ULCC pricing.
