This article reveals the expansion plan of European low-cost carrier Norwegian in response to the demise of rival Sterling in Copenhagen, Denmark. Within days of Sterling's failure Norwegian had launched flights from Copenhagen to Aalborg, Nice, Alicante and Malaga, to add to its existing Oslo and Stockholm flights. It has since firmed plans for a dozen more routes and to base six Boeing 737s at the Danish airport from March 2009. The carrier will grow from the six routes already operated out of Copenhagen to 18 by May 2009.
