“We are delighted to once again publish strong traffic figures, demonstrating the continued trust and value our customers place on the Norwegian product and our colleagues. A load factor of 86 percent is close to the highest ever recorded for the month of February. Booking trends continue to be solid across all markets and many flights are selling out for the Easter holiday period. We are grateful for the increasing number of passengers that choose to fly Norwegian, and look forward to welcoming them on board," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.

Norwegian had 1,281,212 passengers in February. The capacity (ASK) was 1,951 million seat kilometres, up 7 percent from the same period last year.

In February, Norwegian operated an average of 68 aircraft with a regularity, meaning the share of scheduled flights taking place, of 99.4 percent. Punctuality, which is the share of flights departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 81 percent.

Norwegian and Widerøe cooperation bearing fruits

The cooperation with Widerøe is moving forward. In February Norwegian Red Handling took over the ground services for Widerøe at Alicante and Widerøe Ground Handling now handles Norwegian at the airports of Molde, Trondheim, Stavanger, Bodø, Haugesund and Ålesund.

” The acquisition of Widerøe is already bearing fruits as we continue to capture synergies across various areas.
