2012. Norwegian Air Shuttle—a tiny low-cost carrier that had been hours away from bankruptcy just a decade earlier—makes a stunning announcement that SHOCKS the entire aviation industry.
They're ordering over THREE HUNDRED brand-new jets from Boeing and Airbus. And not just narrowbodies either. They're betting they can make premium long-haul operations work at budget prices—despite never operating a single widebody before.
Wall Street called them visionary. Aviation analysts said they were rewriting the rules of low-cost aviation.
But financial experts saw something else: a company financing almost NINETY PERCENT of its assets with borrowed money—a strategy that could only work if absolutely NOTHING went wrong.
And then... Everything went wrong.
Within just a few years, Norwegian went from being Europe's hottest airline story to desperately FIRING ninety percent of its workforce just to stay afloat. Their stock collapsed by 85%. Their CEO was GONE. And every single long-haul aircraft they'd bet their future on had been returned to lessors.
But here's what makes this story so devastating: Norwegian didn't fail because of one mistake. They failed because of a PERFECT STORM of disasters that hit them all at once—problems they should have anticipated but were too ambitious to see coming.
This is the story of Norwegian Air's spectacular rise and catastrophic fall—and the billion-dollar lesson about what happens when a budget airline tries to compete with the giants—on borrowed money.
