Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (Ose - NAS), trading as Norwegian, is the second-largest airline in Scandinavia and the fourth-largest low cost carrier in Europe. In 2009, it transported 10.8 million people on 238 routes to 93 destinations in 27 countries, spanning Europe and to North Africa and the Middle East. As of June 2010, Norwegian operates a total fleet of 55 aircraft; 27 Boeing 737-300s and 28 Boeing 737-800s. The company has firm orders for 70 further 737-800s to be delivered before mid-year 2014. The main hub is Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with secondary hub operations at Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Oslo-Rygge, Copenhagen and Stockholm-Arlanda. It offers a high-frequency domestic flight schedule within Scandinavia, combined with a low-frequency service to international destinations from its focus cities.

Norwegian was founded in 1993 as a regional airline taking over routes in Western Norway after the bankruptcy of Busy Bee. Until 2002, it operated Fokker 50 aircraft on wet lease for Braathens. Following the merger of the two domestic incumbents Braathens and Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian took the opportunity to establish a domestic low-cost carrier. It has since expanded quickly, establishing itself in Warsaw and purchasing Swedish airline FlyNordic in 2007, and entering the Copenhagen market in 2008. The same year it saw the delivery of its first brand new Boeing 737-800. The airline has announced that it is planning on starting intercontinental flights to North America and Asia with up to 15 aircraft (Boeing 787 or Airbus A330).
