Norwegian Air said on Wednesday it will add 120 flights in the Nordic region between March 25 and April 12 as demand rose after rival SAS on Tuesday announced cancellations over high jet fuel prices caused by the Iran war.
Global airlines sounded the alarm on Tuesday over soaring jet fuel prices triggered by the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, warning of extra costs, higher fares and cuts to some routes.
* Flights will mainly be added between the Nordic countriesand Spain’s Malaga, Alicante and Las Palmas destinations, aNorwegian Air spokesperson told Reuters. * Some other flights will also be added, such as to London. * The available capacity comes from flights Norwegian hascancelled on Middle East routes. * Norwegian has not added a fuel surcharge to its ticketsbut instead uses dynamic pricing based on supply and demandwhich means increased fuel costs may result in higher prices onsome routes, it said.
