Formerly LN-NOO with Norwegian, the twinjet has been leased from Air Lease Corporation on a twenty-five month contract. It is aimed as an interim measure while the Caymanian carrier awaits delivery of its four B737 MAX 8s, also on lease from ALC.

Those planes, the newest model available, are still on the production line.The Boeing 737-800 plane, which arrived Friday, is intended to bridge the gap until the new aircraft are available.
