Norwegian reports record June traffic of 2.8 million passengers
Norwegian last month carried 2.37 million passengers, a new post pandemic record for June.
Regional subsidiary Widerøe had nearly 400.000 passengers, bringing the group total to 2,766,198.
The load factor for both Norwegian and Widerøe increased by 4% compared to last year.
In addition, Widerøe delivered record high passenger numbers during the month.
“We are very pleased to see June coming in with strong traffic figures. For Norwegian we had the highest passenger number and load factor for June since 2019, and solid traffic figures overall,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
The load factor was 88.4%.
Norwegian operated an average of 89 aircraft during June.
The airlines’ load factor was 81.6% and 89.1% respectively.
During July, the airlines will operate 400 routes to more than 170 destinations across Europe.
“We are well prepared for the summer peak season. July will be very busy, and the booking momentum into the autumn looks promising,” Karlsen added.
During June, Norwegian launched its new booking platform across all markets, which will enable interlining with Widerøe starting later this year.
