Norwegian airline prepares for global expansion

[mhm]

The effortless elegance of London's May Fair Hotel is disrupted as a bulldog of a man crouches under the table to wipe the floor.

"Had a bit of an accident," he says with a big grin as he tosses soggy kitchen towels into a nearby paper bin. "Cup of coffee hit the floor."

And then, his right arm outstretched: "Hello, I'm Bjorn."

Bjorn Kjos' informal manners and his unusual preparedness to get his hands dirty belie both his achievements and his goals.

As co-founder, majority owner and chief executive of Norwegian Air Shuttle, Mr Kjos' business is already snapping at the heels of low-cost airlines Easyjet and Ryanair, opening new bases at European airports at a rate of knots.
