Norwegian Air Shuttle (Oslo) is now planning to operate five Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners.

IG Invest, an affiliate of Icelandair Group, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with
Norwegian Air Shuttle, aimed at transferring it´s purchase rights for three Boeing 787-8
Dreamliners IG Invest has on order with the Boeing Company. When completed the transaction with Norwegian Air Shuttle, this transactio will relieve Icelandair Group from it‘s role as guarantor under the purchase agreement between Boeing and IG Invest.

IG Invest is a holding company of aircraft and aircraft related assets, and has
one further Boeing 787 on order.

In November 2010 Norwegian announced an order for two Boeing 787-8 long-haul aircraft while disclosing that it is negotiating for an additional 4-6 aircraft of the type. The first Dreamliner will be delivered in 2012.
