Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA has announced that it will open crew bases in New York and Fort Lauderdale. The company will soon open its first crew base in New York. The next base in Fort Lauderdale will be opened during the first quarter of 2014.

Norwegian's entry into the US market will also create millions of jobs in the travel- and tourism industry. During 2014, 300 American crew members will be working for the company. In its first year of full operation, Norwegian will fly one million passengers in and out of the US.

Norwegian continues to expand internationally by establishing two crew bases in the US. Thousands of new jobs will be created over the coming years. Norwegian started its long-haul operation in 2013 with routes between Thailand and the US and Europe.

In 2014, the route network will expand to include 14 routes between the US and Europe.
