Looks as if they've received a few new Boeing 787's.

Norwegian’s flights to London have been out of Oakland (OAK) and now will be out of San Francisco (SFO). Norwegian will still fly all other destinations out of Oakland.
So, SFO-London is technically new, but we’ve been able to fly to London out of OAK (a neighboring airport) for many years.
Norwegian’s my favorite airline so I’m happy whether out of SFO or OAK, makes no difference to me except I like SFO and I dislike OAK.

Let’s hope they are in business long enough to make use of the new planes!

They have axed many short haul European routes.
