LONDON\u2014<\/strong> British Airways (BA)<\/a> and Norwegian Air (DY)<\/a> have turned football fever into a light-hearted marketing contest ahead of the FIFA World Cup quarter-final between England and Norway, with both airlines agreeing to a social media wager that has attracted widespread attention online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge comes as England prepares to face Norway in Miami (MIA), with the winning nation’s airline earning temporary bragging rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of betting aircraft or routes, the two carriers have agreed that the losing airline will replace its Instagram profile logo with its rival’s logo for one day, creating an unusual crossover between aviation branding and international football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British and Norwegian Instagram Logo Bet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exchange began when Norwegian publicly challenged British Airways on Instagram by asking whether the UK flag carrier was willing to “risk”<\/strong> its logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline proposed that whichever country’s team lost the quarter-final would swap its Instagram profile picture for its competitor’s logo for 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Airways initially responded with confidence, warning Norwegian not to make a bet it could not win. Norwegian quickly raised the stakes by asking whether the British carrier was “too scared,”<\/strong> prompting British Airways to reply with the pun, “Scared? Nor-way, mate.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation quickly gained traction across social media, with football fans and aviation enthusiasts following every exchange between the two airlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
