– Now I feel like I can breathe again. I haven’t done it in a few weeks, it seems, booth manager Marit Lindén tells NRK.
Over the course of 35 years in aviation, she has been involved in various ups and downs with various airlines. Three times she has lost her job.
“It has been because of the Kuwait crisis and other things that affect the industry from the outside, but I have been stuck because I am very happy in this profession,” says Lindén. She was one of the first to work in the cabin when Norwegian participated in the competition with SAS in 2002.
On Monday, I was extremely excited about what senior managers would say in Norwegian before going to work and flying to Stavanger.
To the delight of the booth manager, President Niels Smedegaard announced that more than 90 percent of shareholders voted for the crisis package for Norwegian at the company’s extraordinary general meeting on Monday.
However, their work is not insured for that reason. More than 7,000 Norwegian employees are laid off, and CEO Jacob Schram confirmed on Monday that more people will lose their job on “New Norwegian”, Børsen writes.
Don’t exclude more support
Although Norwegian received shareholder approval for the crisis plan to keep the company on its wings, NRK financial commentator Cecilie Langum Becker also cautions against believing that the crisis in the company is over.
“You have access to NOK 2.7 billion, and that’s naturally very good, but the debt has only been reduced from 58 to just under NOK 50 billion,” Becker said in the Daily News 18 on Monday.
“It is going to be a demanding period in the future,” she says.

Storting’s representative, Bård Hoksrud (Frp), who is the vice chair of the Storting’s transportation and communication committee, will not rule out that more money is needed for Norwegian and aviation in general.
“This is what has happened, so we are very open to hearing and getting good feedback on how to help the industry even more,” Hoksrud said at Dagsnytt 18.
– It must start small
Norwegian now only has seven planes in the air.
The company operates between 20 and 30 flights per day. Norwegian typically has around 600 flights a day in the season we’re headed.
Thus, cabin commander Lindén, who welcomed passengers on Norway’s maiden voyage from Oslo to Bergen 18 years ago, feels that the company has returned somewhat to where it started.

– We have to start small, like we did in 2002. Then we had four machines, while now we will continue with seven, Lindén says.
– Then we can fly nationally and do it in a good way, and I am also sure that the world will gradually reopen.
Later, Lindén hopes Norwegian will again help transport passengers to Europe and the rest of the world, but is now mostly relieved.
– I am happy that we can continue flying, he says.
