Famed explorers, Nobel Prize winners, and world-renown aviators, writers, singers, scholars and athletes. Such is the rich legacy of national and Scandinavian heroes celebrated by Norwegian with images on the tails of its airplanes. These "tail heroes" symbolize the intrepid spirit of the airline, which strives for affordable fares, a high quality travel experience, operational excellence and friendly service.

Fortunately there are many such Nordic notables, because the Norwegian fleet is expanding in heroic fashion. The airline has become the first European carrier to choose the 737 MAX, announcing a firm order for 100 of the new, highly fuel-efficient airplanes. As one of the world's leanest airlines, Norwegian understands the value of the MAX, which will have the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle segment. Truly a choice of epic proportions in the ongoing saga of Norwegian's success.
