		</div><p>Airline Norwegian suffered a 61% drop in demand last month.</p>
<p>The budget carrier said it carried 1.2 million passengers in March, compared with 3 million during the same month in 2019.</p>
<p>Norwegian chief executive Jacob Schram said: <em>“The speed of the Covid-19 global outbreak throughout March had a profound impact on the entire Norwegian network as cancellations, in line with global travel advice and falling demand, were implemented throughout the month.”</em></p>
<p>The Scandinavian airline reduced its flight schedule several times last month in response to the collapse in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>This culminated in capacity being cut by up to 85%.</p>
<p>Some 7,300 staff members have been temporarily laid off by Norwegian, which equates to 90% of its workforce.</p>
<p>It has shaken up the long-haul market by offering flights at knockdown prices.</p>
<p>But the airline’s finances have struggled amid its rapid expansion, and in recent years it has been forced to cut costs to regain profitability.</p>
<p>All airlines have suffered as a result of Covid-19, with British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair among those serving the UK which have grounded the majority of their fleets.</p>
