"There is no doubt we'll need even more planes after this," Bjoern Kjos said in an interview.

Shares (Berlin: DI6.BE - news) of Norwegian Air jumped nine percent on Monday following the announcement of flying rights by the U.S. Transportation Department. (Reporting by Joachim Dagenborg, writing by Terje Solsvik, editing by Gwladys Fouche)
