Sep 11, 2019 (newstodate): Norwegian is hard hit by sustained problems with its fleet of Boeing aircraft.
   Like all other carriers around the world, the problems with the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft takes a heavy toll on operations and profitability.
   Norwegian has 11 MAX 8 aircraft in the fleet, and their grounding poses a major challenge to its ability to maintain scheduled services which is only possible by leasing in capacity, incurring extra costs.
   But Norwegian's plights with its Boeing fleet do not stop there.
   According to Dagens Naringsliv, Norwegian also has 10 out of a total of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft out of service, including four for scheduled maintenance, six for unscheduled inspections and maintenance mainly due to problems with their  Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 power plants, and finally two aircraft in for repair work after damages.
