When I've seen the flight coming in to Gatwick the loads seem good/heavy. If that means it's making money I of course have no idea.

Cheers

They canceled recently further flights from Scandinavia to LAS. So they got some available frames they put where the money is!
Good Job Norwegian

I'd say the flights are running at an 80% LF in both directions - and April/May/June are low season months for Argentinians. People in Argentina are pleased with the price/quality relation that Norwegian offers and the spanking brand new planes (BA are you listening with those prehistoric un-refurbished 777s?); that said, BA seems to be holding its own ground on the LHR-EZE route; catering to a different crowd. So I think it is safe to say this is one case where competition has done what it is supposed to do.

We can only assume, but if the EZE market would be the pits for Norwegian, they would not be adding more flights.
