Norwegian blue is a dead parrot
It's been tired and shagged out after many a long squawk, entirely not caused by Cv19, but now it is a dead parrot, limping to the knacker's yard.
It's demise is primarily caused by a surfeit of debt. Added to that, most unfairly imposed by the Fates, is the grounding of one fleet by Boeing's cockup(s) and the unrelated grounding of a different fleet due to wonky Derbyshire engines.
Now the Noggie gumment has said "Nei!" to a putative nationalisation of an airline whose name sounds like it's already been nationalised. Reading between the lines, I think the gumment went further and prolly breathed the words "Dra til helvete" under their breath.

Re: Impact of coronavirus on aviation industry.
According to the boss of Qantas the talk about the airlines being on their last legs is rubbish, they are about to start the biggest boom they have ever had . Unless of course he means he is going to blow all his aeroplanes up..

Re: Impact of coronavirus on aviation industry.
Just a practical question! Have the airline change the safety announcement regarding the oxygen mark requiring pax to remove the covid mask before donning the other?
