The planes where full so to speak. They could not fly the B737-800 full because of range and weight restrictions. On some days early in the season they had to do a technical stop in Gander for fuel. A couple of weeks ago they planned on non-stop to YHM but had to stop in Montreal for fuel. They where running from 160 to 175 passengers on a 186 seat aircraft. The first half of the season YHM had it for 4 flights a week and Providence for 3 then it switched August 1 and we got it for 3 days and Providence for 4 days. It was basically the same plane everyday getting beat up as there was hardly a spare around. Some of these routes, Norwegian had to chartered an aircraft at extra expense.
They did not say they where not coming back. From some of the ground handling staff at YHM, Norwegian was impressed with the full flights since they spent little or no money on advertising. Also 25% of the passengers were from the States.
