I read, and have spoken, with travelers who have enjoyed a good low cost experience with Norwegian Airlines. I am finding very good pricing on trips from Florida to London for this summer. But......
I am concerned about the business viability of Norwegian based upon a few business articles and some travel blogs I follow. Has anyone additional infornation regarding Norwegian?
Thanks for your patience with my concern.

I don't think there's much more information out there that you're not already privy to. Certainly we elected not to book with Norwegian for our flight to Malaga in October despite being the cheapest option because of the concerns about their financial viability. Of course, if everyone continues to look elsewhere for their flights then this will further compound their financial situation. Norwegian really do need to be more open, their silence on this subject certainly doesn't inspire confidence.

Yeah just Google "Norwegian Air" and then filter the results to 1 week and you will see the latest news out there.
Seems pretty ambiguous considering their financial problems that they announced yesterday that they are launching a new route Chicago to Barcelona that I 'd be interested in.
I have flown them 4 times and 3 times in the last year
Stockholm to Paris December 2015
London to Chicago April 2018
London to Chicago May 2018
Chicago to London December 2018
If I were in your position of concern I would just book another airline.

I like NA. International flights from / to the US are on the Dreamliner, which i love.
I have many friends that also fly NA. Some of us have tickets on NA this April and in October as we are not worried about their viability.
There have been quite a few negative threads here about NAs viability recently so i researched on Google.
When reading a negative opinion on Google, check the date.
The newest info i found, from Forbes, was positive:

I like Norwegian Airline, it is cheap and the aircraft is new. I have flown them many times, and I have tickets to Paris this June with them.
Chances are Norwegian Airline will continue to fly. It is even adding flight routes.
