Norwegian puts majority of B737MAX8s up for remarketing

Norwegian has contracted Orix Aviation in order to remarket the majority of its current B737-8s. In total, Orix will support Norwegian to find new homes for twelve B737-8s and two B787-9s.

According to Orix the aircraft will "present attractive options for our airline customers and trading partners that are seeking to immediately access two of the most fuel efficient and desirable narrowbody and widebody aircraft types available".

We previously reported that Norwegian has decided to downsize by abandoning all long-haul flights and focus solely on European destinations with a fleet of approximately 50 B737s.

Norwegian has taken delivery of eighteen B737-8s, which have all been parked since the grounding of the type in March 2019. Originally, the airline has ordered 110 B737-8s, but decided to cancel the remaining 92 in June 2020.
