When the low-cost carrier Norwegian announced their plans on a new direct line to New York with the Boeing Dreamliner 787, it was intended that ticket sales would go up after the summer of 2012, and that the first plane would take off at the beginning of 2013. Now we have arrived in October and still have no tickets appeared to.
"We have no fixed date for the premiere, but it will be done sometime in the summer of 2013. The tickets will be released for sale roughly half a year before the first plane lifts, says Åsa Larsson, press and information officer of the Norwegian, with NYPost.com.

What caused the delay?
– Boeing has problems with deliveries and that is why we have had to wait longer on our Dreamliner than we thought from the beginning. But now, it is decided that our first aircraft will be delivered in april of next year, then another two planes will be delivered in 2013.
Norwegian has expired hard and promised fares at around 2,500 dollars round-trip, which is about half of what its competitors do. The reason for the low price is that Norwegian Dreamlinern is more cost effective and fuel efficient than other planes of the same size.
This does not mean that we fill the entire planet with 2500-kronorbiljetter. But it will go to buy cheap seats, says Åsa Larsson.
Approximately what percentage of the tickets will be on 2 500 SEK?
– I cannot go into. We work with the product range of the plane's two classes, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, right now. I can't answer what the most expensive tickets will cost.
Icelandair recently signed an agreement with the American aviation authority on traffic rights to the United States. This means that the company can fly to and from all airports throughout the United States.
