Norwegian Air is demanding Boeing compensate the airline after over a dozen of its 737 Max 8 airplanes have been grounded following a deadly Sunday crash that killed 157 people.
The airline asked the corporation Wednesday to pay for both the costs and revenue loss that has resulted from the grounding of many of its planes. “We expect Boeing to take this bill,” Norwegian Air said in a statement, according to Reuters .
“It’s quite obvious that we will not take the cost related to the new aircraft that we have to park temporarily. We will send this bill to those who produce this aircraft,” Norwegian Air CEO Bjoern Kjos said.
Norwegian Air has 18 of the 737 Max 8 planes and has ordered more than 100 of the aircraft models, CNN reported Wednesday. Reuters reported the airline will have over 70 of the 737 Max 8 planes by the end of 2021.
