About this Presentation

We, Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, have prepared this presentation, together with its enclosures and appendices (collectively, the “Presentation"), to provide introductory information

solely for use in connection with the contemplated offering of bonds (“Bonds”) issued by us and expected to be initiated in January 2018 (the “Transaction”). We have retained Danske

Bank, Norwegian Branch, Nordea Bank AB (publ) filial i Norge and Pareto Securities AS (the “Managers”) as managers of the Transaction.

This Presentation is not in itself an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Accuracy of information and limitation of liability:

Any decision to invest must only be made with careful consideration and not in reliance solely on the introductory information provided herein which does not purport to be complete.

Any application to invest will be subject to a term sheet setting out the terms and conditions of the securities and an application form to which any investment will be subject to. Please

do not hesitate to ask us any questions which would be relevant for your consideration and which are not contained herein.

We have assimilated the information contained herein from various sources and unless stated the information is a result of our own activities. We have taken reasonable care to ensure

that, and to the best of our knowledge as of 23 January 2018, material information contained herein is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its

understanding.

Please note that we make no assurance that the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements are free from errors. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking

information, which will depend on numerous factors, and any reader must make an independent assessment of such projections.

If at any time prior to the pricing and application for the Bonds an event occurs which we, based on our knowledge, reasonably expect would affect the assessment of the Bonds, or as a

result of which this Presentation would be misleading, include any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,

we will promptly notify in sufficient detail, through the Managers, the potential applicants of the Bonds.

The Managers have performed a limited review of our information which has consisted of a review of the financial statements including management accounts provided by us and

which were audited last time on 31 December 2016.

The Managers, their respective parent or subsidiary undertakings or affiliates or any such person’s directors, officers, employees, advisors or representatives shall not have any liability

whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from the use of this Presentation and to the extent an investment is made, such investment will be made subject to this limitation of liability.

Risk factors:

An investment in the Bonds involves a high level of risk. Several factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any

future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by statements and information in this Presentation. There may also be a limited secondary market for

the Bonds which may result in a substantial liquidity risk. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual

results may vary materially from those described in this Presentation. Please refer to slides 35-38 for a description of certain risk factors associated with the Company and the Bonds.

•Foreign exchange rates used are equivalent to the daily average rates corresponding to the reporting periods and as stated by the Central Bank of Norway

• Note: For some carriers the available financial data represents Group level data which may include cost items from activities that are unrelated to airline operations.

• Other losses / (gains) is not included in the CASK concept as it primarily contains hedge gains/losses offset under financial items* as well as other non-operational income and/or cost items such as gains on the sale of spare part inventory and unrealized foreign

currency effects on receivables/payables and (hedges of operational expenses).

*Norwegian hedges USD/NOK to counter foreign currency risk exposure on USD denominated borrowings translated to the prevailing currency rate at each balance sheet date. Hedge gains and losses are according to IFRS recognized under operating expenses

(other losses/ (gains) while foreign currency gains and losses from translation of USD denominated borrowings are recognized under financial items.

Summary of risk factors

Summary of risk factors (1 / 4)

35

No investor should make any investment decision without having reviewed and understood the risk factors

associated with investing in the Bonds. The order of appearance is not intended to indicate importance or

likelihood of occurrence. References to the “Company” shall be read as the Issuer, its Subsidiaries and/or

the Norwegian Air Shuttle group as a whole.

• Uncertain global economic and financial market conditions could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial

condition, liquidity and capital resources.

• Changes in the general global or national economic and financial market situation or adverse market perception may affect the financial

performance of the Company.

• The aviation industry is highly competitive, and new market entrants could disrupt the competitive environment and the Company may not be able

to keep pace.

• The Company’s operating results may be materially affected by fluctuations in the price and availability of jet fuel.

• Airline insurance may become too difficult or expensive to obtain, which could expose the Company to substantial loss and may have a material

adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

• The adoption of new regional, national and international regulations, or the revision of existing regulations, could have a material adverse effect

on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

• The Company seeks to mitigate the effects of market fluctuations in currency, interest rate and jet fuel positions through the use of derivative

instruments. In certain circumstances, the market price of the derivatives may change substantially and the Company may suffer substantial

hedging losses.

• Currently, the Company’s firm aircraft orders totals 221 aircraft. The Company’s aircraft orders require substantial capital expenditures and are

associated with risks relating to delays and malfunctions. There can be no assurance that the Company’s capital resources will, at all times, be

sufficient to satisfy its business and liquidity needs or that it will be able to successfully deploy new aircraft into operation.

Summary of risk factors (2 / 4)

36

• Outbreaks of epidemics, pandemics or natural disasters can adversely affect the demand for air travel and have a significant impact on the

Company’s operations.

• Military conflicts or the threat of such conflicts, as well as their aftermath, may have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business.

• The Company has in the past experienced extensive operational and technical problems relating to the delivery and phase-in of its new

Dreamliner aircraft, which have led to extraordinary costs for the Company. There can be no guarantee that similar or other operational

disruptions and interruptions will not influence the Company in the future.

• The Company is exposed to the risk of significant losses, directly or indirectly, from aviation accidents involving its operations, including plane

crashes and other disasters.

• The Company’s insurance or indemnities may not adequately cover all risks or expenses.

• Geopolitical tension, terrorist attack, or the threat of such attacks, could result in a significant reduction in passenger airline travel and hence have

a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations.

• Seasonal fluctuations and cyclical changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of

operations and future prospects.

• The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by ability to secure new efficient aircraft deliveries in the

future.

• Norwegian`s largest shareholder has the ability to exert significant influence over the Company’s actions, even if it does not have decisive

influence or formally exercises negative control.

• The Company requires a significant amount of cash to service its debt and sustain its operations, and the Company may incur more debt in the

future. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors beyond its control, and its ability to incur more debt may be

restricted by debt covenants. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance any of the existing or future debt.
