STOCKHOLM—Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, the budget carrier that surprised the industry with Europe's biggest order for passenger jets this year, intends to enter the aircraft-leasing market as part of plans to fly the most fuel-efficient fleet possible to meet growing demand for cheaper travel.

"To sell-off aircraft is a new activity for us and if we want to sublease our own aircraft that will be a new activity as well," Chief Financial Officer Frode Foss said in a recent interview. "We have to look at how to structure that in a good way."
