Yes, losing money on every ticket sold but they'll make it up with volume. Works until they run out of money.

Norwegian's March load factor was 85.4% so there's not a whole lot of extra seats to sell. Of course their yield fell 4% year over year so they continue to sell tickets below cost. They have to raise ticket prices. Considerably.
