In February, the Norwegian Group had a total of 1.6 million passengers.
Norwegian recorded 1.32 million, while Widerøe had 298,000. The month saw strong
demand for this time of year, with capacity well-adjusted to meet market
seasonality.
"February was another solid month for Norwegian, and I am particularly pleased
with the very high load factor for this time of year. This demonstrates that our
active capacity management is working well. At the same time, our unit revenues
continue to strengthen, confirming the solid underlying demand in our Nordic
markets," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 2,111 million seat kilometres, a decrease of 5
percent from February 2025. Revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) were 1,888
million seat kilometres, up 0.5 percent from last year. In February, Norwegian
operated an average of 75 aircraft. The load factor was 89.5 percent, an
increase of 5 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of
scheduled flights that took place, was 99.6 percent. Punctuality, the share of
flights departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 75.4 percent.
Looking ahead, the booking trend for the upcoming months remains encouraging. To
mitigate market volatility, the group has hedged 45 percent of the estimated
fuel consumption for the remainder of the year.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) was 144 million seat kilometres, down 3 percent from
last year. Revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) were 104 million seat kilometres,
unchanged from February 2025. The load factor was 72.5 percent, up 2 percentage
points from last year. Regularity, the share of scheduled flights that took
place, was 96.8 percent. Punctuality, the share of flights departing within 15
minutes of scheduled time, was 85.6 percent.
"February was a strong month for Widerøe. We are pleased to see growth in both
passenger numbers and load factor, while also delivering a strong operational
performance. This provides a great foundation as we look forward to the busy
spring and summer seasons," said Tore Jenssen, CEO of Widerøe.
