Norwegian has technical problems with its two Boeing 787s

Norwegian Air Shuttle (Norwegian.com) (Norwegian Long Haul) (Oslo) is suffering with technical issues with its two delivered Boeing 787-8s and has called in Boeing to fix the problems according to this report by Reuters. Norwegian has been forced to ground the two 787s several times in recent weeks, due to problems with brakes, hydraulic pumps and power issues.

One of the 787s remains grounded in Oslo today due to problems with the oxygen supply to the cockpit.

Norwegian Long Haul is depending on the 787 to expand its long haul international route map. As reported, Norwegian plans to launch new routes between Scandinavia and Los Angeles (LAX), Oakland (OAK) and Orlando (MCO) in the spring of 2014. At the same time Norwegian will launch a new route between New York (JFK) and Copenhagen.

Norwegian continues to launch new intercontinental routes as it takes delivery of more 787s.
