Norwegian Group carries 2.6 million passengers in September amid operational challenges

Share

In September 2024, the Norwegian Group, consisting of Norwegian Airlines and Widerøe, served 2.6 million passengers, marking an 11% increase compared to September 2023.

Norwegian Airlines contributed 2.26 million passengers, with Widerøe adding 356,259. Norwegian’s capacity grew by 10%, and passenger traffic increased by 12%, with a load factor rising to 85.2%. However, punctuality dropped to 78.6% due to weather and air traffic control restrictions.

CEO Geir Karlsen expressed satisfaction with the company’s performance but acknowledged ongoing cost-control efforts to address challenges such as Boeing’s production delays, exacerbated by a strike. This could affect aircraft deliveries and lead to increased short-term costs.

Widerøe also saw a rise in load factor to 73.5%.
