The major competitors of Norwegian Air Shuttle

It's also important to know the main competitors of Norwegian Air Shuttle well in order to integrate them into your analyses of this value. Here is a presentation of its most important adversaries in its market:

EasyJet

This British low-cost airline is one of the main competitors of Norwegian Air Shuttle and is the second European company in terms of passengers. This company is owned by Stelios Haji-Ioannou through its participation in Easygroup, a company registered in Jersey. EasyJet employs nearly 10,000 people and has been in existence since 1995 after a loan of 5 million pounds from the father of Stelios Haji-Ioannou, a ship-owner from Cyprus. EasyJet is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is part of the FTSE 100 stock index.

Finnair

This other airline this time is a Finnish company and the flag carrier of the Republic of Finland. This company operates mainly from Helsinki-Vantaa airport and is the leader in the domestic and international air markets in Finland. The group is 60% owned by the Finnish state and 20% by foreign investors. The shares of this company are listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Finnair is also a member airline of the Oneworld alliance.

Scandinavian Airlines System

Also known as SAS AB, this Scandinavian airline is arguably Norwegian Air Shuttle's most direct competitor. It previously owned the regional airline Wideroe and the now defunct airlines Aerovias Guest, Spanair, Braathens, Flyyelskap, bmi and Bluel. It still owns 37.5% of Air Greenland and 2.66% of Estonian Air today.

The major partners of Norwegian Air Shuttle

Now, let's take a look at the strategic alliances that the Norwegian Air Shuttle group has put in place in the past and which may have an impact on its stock market price. Here are two tangible examples of partnerships that have had repercussions on this value and its evolution.

JetBlue

First of all, the Norwegian Air Shuttle group signed a partnership with JetBlue in 2019 with the aim of allowing passengers to make a single reservation to combine their Norwegian transatlantic flight with a connecting flight from the JetBlue network in the United States, Latin America or the Caribbean. Since then, flights can be booked on the websites of the two companies and allow two huge complementary networks to be associated. This partnership entered into force during the summer of 2020. Another benefit of this alliance is that it will connect the JetBlue network, which provides flights to over 60 American cities and 40 cities in the Caribbean and Latin America, to the Norwegian network through New York JFK, Boston and Fort Lauderdale airports. Passengers' luggage can also be checked in for their entire journey.

Ryanair

Finally, the second past partnership was signed in 2017 with Ryanair aimed at competing with large companies by offering their respective passengers the benefit of an extended network of transatlantic medium and short-haul flights. The merger of these two entities has made it possible to promote connectivity between the flights of each of them. Norwegian Air Shuttle has therefore been able to supply its transatlantic lines by relying on Ryanair's short and medium-haul network.

The factors in favour of a rise in the Norwegian Air Shuttle share price:

Before we begin to analyse the Norwegian Air Shuttle share price, it is important to understand how this company may perform in the face of certain threats or opportunities in the future. To do this, it is interesting to know the main strengths and weaknesses of this company and therefore the advantages and disadvantages of this stock.

Let's start by summarising the main strengths that the Norwegian Air Shuttle Group has at the moment:

First of all, we can emphasise that the group offers high-frequency domestic flights. This gives it a strong presence and a significant foothold in the domestic market.
In terms of financial analysis, it can also be noted that the growth in market share and net revenues generated by the group is largely positive and higher than that of its peers. This reflects the financial strength and quality of the group's profitability strategy.
The Norwegian Air Shuttle Group also enjoys a strong presence and excellent brand image in the region in which it operates.
The company also benefits from a very good customer orientation, which gives it an excellent reputation among its customers.
Norwegian Air Shuttle's development and growth prospects are also very good. Indeed, the company intends to become one of the world's leading long-haul LCCs.

The factors in favour of a drop in the Norwegian Air Shuttle share price:

Of course, the Norwegian Air Shuttle group also has weak points that are disadvantages for its share price. Here is a summary of the company's most important weaknesses:

Among the group's main weaknesses is the fact that the company is not currently a member of any airline alliance, which is not the case for its major competitors.
It is also regrettable that the current frequency of flights to international destinations is significantly lower than that of other local companies. This can have an impact on customer retention and profitability.
Similarly, Norwegian Air Shuttle's main competitor, the SAS group, is financially supported by the state, which gives it a serious competitive advantage.
The current rise in oil prices is also a brake on the profitability of Norwegian Air Shuttle, which is obliged to increase its fares to maintain its margins.
Finally, the group has certain shortcomings in terms of marketing and advertising strategy compared to competitors who invest more in their customer communication.
