Airways has received a document from the French union describing the NAR France bankruptcy.
The document states that since March 2020, Norwegian Air Resources (DY/NAR) set in motion its ‘Activité Partielle’, or AP, which is a technical unemployment scheme under a public funding accreditation. The AP runs until March 2021.

Norwegian Government Aid and Subsequent Restructuring
On January 22 of this year, the airline group received €300m (US$360.87m) in public funding from the Norwegian government. Now, according to the French union document, the Group is working on a massive restructuring process; the ‘New Norwegian’ refocused on the short to medium-haul market from Norway and to a lesser extent from that of the Scandic area.
