Norwegian Air Shuttle AS agreed to lease two Boeing Co. 787-9 Dreamliners, adding larger models while expanding its long-haul fleet to 10 planes as the discount carrier broadens its reach into Asia and the U.S.

The aircraft, leased from Jordache Enterprises’ New York-based MG Aviation Ltd. unit, are scheduled to enter service in the first quarter of 2016, the Fornebu, Norway-based airline said in a statement today.
