In August, Norwegian had 2,420,727 passengers, marking the end of a record peak
season. This is particularly true for Widerøe, which set a new passenger record
in each of the summer months. Widerøe's August passenger numbers were 366,216,
bringing the group total to 2,786,943. Norwegian will announce the summer
programme for 2026 later this month.
"August was a strong conclusion to a record summer, demonstrating that our
preparations for the peak season were successful. Our network was well adapted
to demand, and we further strengthened our product offering for our customers.
In addition, August saw solid punctuality and very high regularity for both
Norwegian and Widerøe," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) in August was 3,979 million seat kilometres, up 2
percent from last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) for Norwegian was 3,420
million seat kilometres, an increase of 2 percent. The load factor was 86
percent, up 0.2 percentage points. Norwegian operated an average of 91 aircraft
during August.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) in August was 193 million seat kilometres, down 0.3
percent from last year. The actual passenger traffic (RPK) for Widerøe was 150
million seat kilometres, while the load factor was 77.5 percent, up 1.1
percentage points.
Norwegian and Widerøe's punctuality, defined as the share of flights departing
within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 81.2 percent and 91.8 percent
respectively. Regularity, measured by the share of scheduled flights taking
place, was 99.7 percent for Norwegian and 98.6 percent for Widerøe.
Summer programme 2026
Norwegian's summer programme for 2026 will be announced on 10 September,
featuring destinations in more than 35 countries across Europe and beyond.
"Next summer we will offer more than 300 routes to over 120 destinations, giving
our customers a wide choice of travel opportunities. Forward bookings remain
solid, and we look forward to a busy autumn. Those planning to travel during the
autumn school holidays should book soon, as demand is picking up," said Geir
Karlsen.
During the summer months, Norwegian took delivery of six brand new Boeing 737
MAX 8 as a part of the ongoing fleet renewal process.
