In May, the Norwegian Group had a total of 2.62 million passengers. Of these,
Norwegian recorded 2.25 million passengers, while Widerøe had 364,000.
Norwegian's operational performance remained strong, recording a regularity of
99.7 percent and a punctuality that increased to 89.8 percent.
"I am pleased that we have delivered another month of strong operational
performance for the passengers who travelled with Norwegian and Widerøe in May.
High regularity and on-time performance are important to all our customers.
These results show that our focus on reliability is paying off as we enter the
busy summer travel season," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 3,741 million seat kilometres in May, an increase
of 5 percent compared with May 2025. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 3,050
million seat kilometres, an increase of 3 percent from the same period last
year. In May, Norwegian operated an average of 93 aircraft. The load factor was
impacted by the increased production this month and ended at 81.5 percent, down
2 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of scheduled flights
that took place, was 99.7 percent, while punctuality, the share of flights
departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 89,8 percent, an increase of
1.3 percentage points from last year. Both regularity and punctuality ranked
amongst the top airlines in Europe for the month of May.
"While we are adding considerable capacity in the coming months, especially
during the month of June, we continue to see overall good demand across our
network. Many of our most popular routes are selling quickly, and we continue to
offer strong capacity and compelling value across many markets. This ensures
that our customers can find both a wide range of choices and competitive fares,"
said Geir Karlsen.
The Widerøe capacity (ASK) was 197 million seat kilometres, a 2 percent increase
from last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 137 million seat kilometres,
an increase of 4 percent from May 2025. The load factor was 69,7 percent, up 1.2
percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of scheduled flights
that took place, was 98.6 percent. Punctuality, the share of flights departing
within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 95.7 percent, an increase of 2.7
percentage points from last year.
Neither Norwegian nor Widerøe has cancelled a single flight due to the increase
in fuel prices. Both airlines remain committed to delivering a reliable and
predictable service, ensuring customers can travel with confidence during the
peak summer holiday season.
"We are satisfied with our punctuality and regularity performance in May.
Delivering a reliable and competitive product is important to our customers, and
we remain focused on efficient operations and maintaining an attractive offering
across our network," said Tore Jenssen, CEO of Widerøe.
