VS are sensible to treat Norwegian as a major threat - their long haul operation out of LGW may be small today but it's now their key target for expansion and they have the advantage of a substantial short haul network to feed connecting traffic.

It may partly explain VS's recent aggressive expansion at MAN - at the moment they and DL have pretty much got the TATL market there to themselves and presumably they can see continued growth there as long as there's relatively little competition.
