Pilots have hit back at Norwegian Air after it emerged the airline will not pay outstanding salaries to laid-off staff following the collapse of its UK operations.
The British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) today said staff were demanding answers as to why they had been left with “absolutely nothing”.
Norwegian Air last month announced it would shut down Norwegian Air Resources (NAR), its UK crewing business that employed 1,100 people at Gatwick Airport. KPMG has been formally appointed as liquidator to NAR.
