Like many Scandinavians, he has penned a thriller in his spare time. But Bjorn Kjos is celebrated in his home country as the man who brought low-cost flying to one of Europe's most expensive countries. Last year the airline he co-founded and runs, Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS), placed the biggest aircraft order Europe has yet seen. It will buy 222 Boeings and Airbuses for around $10 billion, aiming to compete with Ryanair and easyJet, Europe's champions of cheap aviation. This is on top of an earlier order for a fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which NAS will use (now that their battery problems have been fixed) to launch flights to Asia and America later this year. Offering such a long-haul, low-cost service will be fiendishly hard. Mr Kjos has the ambition and appetite for risk of a Viking hopping on a longboat and paddling off to pillage Northumberland. To escape high Nordic labour costs and taxes, NAS is increasingly basing planes and hiring people elsewhere. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
