Norse Atlantic passenger growth up by a quarter
Norse Atlantic Airways delivered strong passenger growth in December 2025, carrying more than 151,000 passengers, an increase of 22% from the same month in 2024.
Load factor was 98% across network and ACMI/charter operations, up 4%-points year-over-year.
This is the 14th consecutive month above 90%.
For the full year, Norse Atlantic flew a total of 1.84 million passengers, an increase of 26% from last year.
The load factor was 96% across all operations, up 12%.
The airline says this reflects the successful transition to a scheduled-ACMI dual strategy business model in the second half of the year.
At the year-end, five aircraft were flying on ACMI charters for IndiGo with the sixth set to be delivered in early 2026.
The airline operated 281 flights in own scheduled network plus 254 ACMI/charter flights.
Norse Atlantic completed 97% of scheduled flights in the month while 52% of flights in its own network departed within 15 minutes of scheduled departure time.
It says on-time performance was negatively impacted by continued air traffic control delays, airport congestion and weather issues.
Norse Atlantic ends 2025 with strong passenger growth, increased production and full flights. This reflects an attractive product driving customer demand in a highly competitive market,” said CEO, Eivind Roald.
“We are on track to complete the transition to a balanced business model with a focused own network and long-term charters later this month with six aircraft generating stable, predictable earnings.”
