Increased capacity and strong load factors lead to new highs for Norwegian and Widerøe

The Norwegian Group, consisting of the airlines Norwegian and Widerøe, set a new record in July 2024 with 2,857,128 passengers. Norwegian alone recorded an increase of 9 per cent year-on-year with 2,526,093 passengers – the highest figure since 2019. Widerøe contributed 331,035 passengers, a strong performance with a load factor of 83.5 per cent.

Norwegian's capacity was increased by 10 per cent compared to the previous year and was 92.5 per cent utilised, reflecting efficient use of the increased capacity. Although congestion in European airspace led to a slight decrease in punctuality, the Group maintained a high operational regularity of 99.5 per cent. CEO Geir Karlsen expressed satisfaction with the Group's performance and expects continued strong bookings for the autumn season.
