And guess who is moving in to the old SAS hangar at SVG?? Norwegian...
SAS has made an agreement with Norwegian who are leasing the hangar from July 1st.
They are also hiring new personnel, old SAS employees who got laid off are good candidates.
Norwegian is not doing heavy maintenance at Sola like SAS did, they will only do light maintenance, but there will be at least 25 jobs there.

Norwegian announced last week that they will lease 11 737-800 which has longer range and better fuel economy. Some used, some brand new.

This makes Norwegian able to reach destinations like the Canary Islands and they are already opening several destinations there:
