I've always assumed that Norwegian's finances were now OK through summer, but the continued grounding of the MAX has got to hurt. I've read this is costing Norwegian $1.5 million/day -- money they definitely don't have. Honestly, I think it's a miracle they're still flying: they have a horrible transatlantic business plan that's been hurt further by some very bad airplane luck (first the engine issue and now this MAX problem). I'm sure they're going to quickly get out of crazy places like Newburgh but it's not like flying from the major airports is going to help much. Logic tells me they've got about a year left, but who knows.
