Norwegian founder and CEO Bjørn Kjos launched his company on the principle that everyone should be able to afford to fly, and that affordable fares and high-quality service bring the world closer together. “You could think of Norwegian as contrarian, a leader of the democratization of air travel, or perhaps just as that big, unmistakable red Dreamliner in the sky.

Value Airline of the Year: Norwegian Air is a long-haul LCC that launched more than 20 transatlantic routes in 2017. “To be named Value Airline of the Year is a major accomplishment for Norwegian and all our dedicated people that we are extremely proud of. Our airline was founded on the basis that everyone should be able to afford to fly, and as we are continuously entering new markets across the world, we continue to offer even more people affordable fares and high quality service,” Norwegian CEO and founder said Bjørn Kjos said.
