Norwegian Air wears BA's colours for a day after World Cup social media wager

Norwegian Air has embraced the colors of its competitor, British Airways, for a day, fulfilling a light-hearted social media wager made ahead of the World Cup quarter-final match between England and Norway. Following England's 2-1 victory over Norway on Saturday, Norwegian Air swapped its Instagram profile picture to display the British Airways logo for 24 hours.

The friendly bet, made between the two airlines, stipulated that the carrier representing the losing nation would feature the winner's logo on its social media for a full day. Norwegian Air, now out of the tournament, posted the unfamiliar logo with a congratulatory message to England and British Airways.

"While the tournament is over for us, this friendly bet will forever live in all our hearts," Norwegian wrote. "We wish England and British Airways all the best in the semi-final, and we sincerely hope you’ll get to bring football home!" England is set to face Argentina in the semi-final in Atlanta on Wednesday.
