LOW-cost airline Norwegian is "on the cusp" of growing too fast, one of its bosses has admitted.
Head of sales in the UK and Ireland Dominic Tucker said the carrier was increasing the size of its fleet by "a crazy number", but insisted the firm had a "strong cash flow" and was profitable.
Concerns have been raised about the future of Norwegian due to its policy of rapid expansion and last month Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary claimed "Norwegian will go in four or five months" as it is "running out of cash". The issue has been raised again following the collapse of British airline Monarch earlier this month.
The airline, whose route network includes Belfast, has around 130 aircraft and more than 260 on order.
When asked if Norwegian is growing too fast, Mr Tucker replied: "We're probably on the cusp. It's really hard as an airline when we have lots of planes because we want to put those planes into service as soon as possible."
