In June, the Norwegian Group had a total of 2.8 million passengers. Of these,
Norwegian recorded 2.4 million passengers, while Widerøe had 404,000. June was a
month where both Norwegian and Widerøe delivered growth in capacity and
passengers compared to last year.
"I am pleased to see that we manage to increase the numbers of passengers across
both airlines in June. We have a solid 8 percent capacity increase in Norwegian,
while Widerøe has set a new passenger record, the first month in history with
more than 400,000 passengers. While the load factor for Norwegian is a bit lower
than expected for June, we are operating several new routes this summer, and are
looking forward to a very busy July," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 3,991 million seat kilometres in June, an
increase of 8 percent compared with June 2025. Actual passenger traffic (RPK)
was 3,337 million seat kilometres, an increase of 2 percent from the same period
last year. In June, Norwegian operated an average of 93 aircraft. The load
factor was impacted by the increased production this month and ended at 83.6
percent, down 4.8 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of
scheduled flights that took place, was 99.3 percent, while punctuality, the
share of flights departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 79.4
percent, a decrease of 2.2 percentage points from last year.
"We are preparing for the busiest month of the year and are seeing overall
satisfactory demand for beach and city vacations from the Nordic countries. As
in recent summer seasons, we are also expecting increasing demand from other
European countries for "coolcations"[HW1.1] to Nordic destinations. With more
than 500 daily flights and very few cancellations, our passengers can be sure to
reach their holiday destinations," said Geir Karlsen.
The Widerøe capacity (ASK) was 205 million seat kilometres, a 7 percent increase
from last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 160 million seat kilometres,
an increase of 3 percent from June 2025. The load factor was 78.1 percent, down
3.1 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of scheduled flights
that took place, was 98.5 percent. Punctuality, the share of flights departing
within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 92.8 percent, an increase of 3.7
percentage points from last year.
"This has been a month of excellent operational performance for Widerøe, in
addition to a new passenger record. I would like to thank all our great
colleagues across the organisation for their work to reach this milestone. We
will strive to continuously build on this going forward," said Tore Jenssen, CEO
of Widerøe.
