3. Norwegian
Previous rank: 3
Why its awesome: Norwegian Air is one of the most aggressive and controversial airlines in the world. The low-cost carrier had drawn the ire of its US competitors by proposing a plan to operate trans-Atlantic flights using an Ireland-based subsidiary. The airlines critics claim that such a move would allow Norwegian to flaunt Norways strict labor laws and use Ireland as a flag of convenience. Norwegian has denied these accusations. Regardless, Norwegian CEO Bjørn Kjos plans to launch $69 trans-Atlantic flights in the near future from the US.
In the mean time, the airline is certainly beloved by its customers. Norwegian has been named Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe four-years in a row. In addition, the company also picked up the award for the Worlds Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline.
