Record summer for passenger traffic continues for Norwegian Group
Norwegian has built on a record summer for passenger traffic, carrying another 2.9 million passengers in July.
Norwegian carried 2,566,000 passengers, which sets a new post-pandemic monthly record.
Widerøe passenger count was 362,337, the highest July figure ever recorded for the regional carrier.
Also, Norwegian announced the first dividend payment in the company’s history.
“We are pleased that July continued the good momentum for the summer season. Operational performance remained solid for a peak summer month, despite high traffic volumes and disruptions in European air traffic control,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian’s load factor was 92.4%, down 0.2 percentage points.
Norwegian operated an average of 90 aircraft during July.
It says the group’s booking momentum continues to be solid going into the last summer month and the autumn.
“We continue to see strong booking momentum heading into autumn. Despite very nice summer weather in the Nordics, our customers remain eager to travel – for both business and leisure,” Karlsen added.
