Norwegian Air has agreed to purchase Nordic Leisure Travel Group (NLTG), the parent company of well-known travel brands Ving and Spies, for approximately 8 billion Swedish kronor (roughly $800 million USD). The acquisition expands Norwegian Air’s presence in the travel market beyond airline services. NLTG is owned by Petter Stordalen, a prominent figure in the Nordic hotel and leisure industry. The deal includes Ving’s operations in the Nordic countries and Spies’ travel packages. Norwegian Air intends to leverage the combined strengths of the airline and travel group to offer more comprehensive travel solutions to customers. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the coming months. This move signifies a strategic shift for Norwegian Air as it diversifies its business portfolio.
