Lauda
Legally known as Laudamotion GmbH, was previously an Austrian low-cost airline, but has been a subsidiary of Ryanair since 2018. It was bought outright by F1 Champion Niki Lauda in 2016, hence the name of the airline. It has a fleet size of 33 and flies to 38 different destinations. Perhaps its links to Ryanair is why the scores seem fitting. Lauda has received an overall score of 5.69, with a 5.1 for its on-time program, a 7.4 for quality services and a 4.6 for claims. We think 5.69 seems generous…
Norwegian Air
Norwegian Air Shuttle, or simply Norwegian, is a low-cost Norwegian airline and also the largest airline in Norway. It sits in fourth place in terms of budget airlines in Europe, just behind Wizz Air, easyJet and Ryanair. Norwegian is the second biggest airline in Scandinavia and the ninth in Europe, when looking at number of passengers annually. Including subsidiary airlines, it has a fleet size of 51 and flies to 51 destinations. The airline has come under fire in the past for having a requirement that its female flight attendants wear makeup and high heels, only removing the requirement with a doctors note. It has since been removed, but we won’t forget. The airline received an overall score of 5.67 from AirHelp, seeing a 2.3 score for claims.
