In July, Norwegian had 2.3 million passengers. The load factor was 92.4 per
cent. Capacity was at its peak for the current year and 12 per cent higher than
July last year. Continued bookings throughout the month made by travel hungry
Nordic customers contributed to making this a historically strong July.
"July was an outstanding month for Norwegian in terms of traffic figures. We
have welcomed the highest number of passengers this year, over 100,000 more
compared to July last year. Our colleagues in the air and on the ground have
worked relentlessly to make sure our passengers reached their destinations
safely, and as smoothly as possible, despite a few challenging situations across
airports in Europe," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian had 2,308,417 passengers in July, up 5 per cent from July 2022. The
capacity (ASK) was 3,712 million seat kilometres, while actual passenger traffic
(RPK) was 3,430 million seat kilometres. Unit revenue (RASK) is estimated at NOK
0.82, while unit revenue including flight related ancillary revenue is estimated
at NOK 0.96. In July, Norwegian operated an average of 79 aircraft with a
regularity, share of scheduled flights taking place, of 99.5 percent.
Punctuality was at 73.2 percent in July, the share of flights departing within
15 minutes of scheduled time. However, 95.3 per cent of all departed flights
arrived on schedule or within one hour of scheduled arrival time.
Solid booking momentum continues
The booking momentum remains promising and while July saw many last-minute
bookings by Nordic travellers longing for sunnier destinations, this trend is
continuing into August. In addition, booking rates for travels in September are
strong.
"The unstable weather in the Nordics this summer has clearly impacted travel
patterns, and we notice continued strong bookings throughout the month. I am
very pleased to see that so many travellers choose to fly with us this summer,
both domestically, within the Nordics and across Europe. I would like to thank
all our colleagues for their contribution to taking care of our passengers
during the busiest season of the year. Our solid operational performance has
been helped by exclusively serving our customers with our own fleet of aircraft
and crew," said Karlsen.
Norwegian continues to offer an attractive route network throughout the Nordics
and to European beach and city destinations throughout the late summer and
autumn. Norwegian's direct route between Tromsø and Copenhagen has been well
received so far. Ticket sales opened in July and the route will operate as part
of next winter's schedule.
