Strong booking momentum going into summer
June marks the beginning of the peak season for Norwegian, which comes with a
significant capacity ramp up compared to previous months.
"Norwegian is well-prepared for a very good summer for our customers, offering
flights to over 120 destinations across Europe and beyond. The booking momentum
for the summer months remains strong with approximately 300,000 more seats sold
than during the same period last year. Those who have yet to book their summer
holidays are encouraged to do so soon, as demand for the most popular
destinations is high," said Geir Karlsen.
In May, Norwegian Reward won four awards at the internationally recognised
Freddie Awards in Chicago, including the category "Program of the year" for
Europe and Africa. The Freddie Awards gathered over four million votes from
frequent travellers during the voting period.
