Norwegian Air Shuttle is returning one of its new 787 Dreamliners to Boeing demanding repairs after the jet has suffered repeated breakdowns, it said on Saturday.
Norwegian Air Shuttle will instead lease an Airbus A340 from HiFly to keep its long-haul business going and will not take back the Boeing 787 Dreamliner until it is more reliable, a spokesman said.
“The aircraft’s reliability is simply not acceptable, our passengers cannot live with this kind of performance,” spokesman Lasse Sandaker-Nielsen told Reuters.
