In December 2025, Norwegian had 1.45 million passengers, while Widerøe had
304,000 passengers, totalling 1.75 million for the Group. Both airlines
delivered solid operational performance, with improved regularity and
punctuality. Norwegian and Widerøe had a total of 27.3 million passengers in
2025.
"We are pleased to conclude 2025 with a solid set of December figures. For the
full year, we have seen a marked increase in passenger numbers, demonstrating
the attractiveness of strengthened route networks across both airlines," said
Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 2,374 million seat kilometres in December, down 5
percent compared with December 2024. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 2,014
million seat kilometres, down 2 percent from the same period the year before.
The load factor was 84.8 percent, up 2.7 percentage points from December 2024.
Norwegian operated an average of 74 aircraft during December.
Despite at times challenging winter weather, both airlines delivered solid
underlying operational performance in December, including during the busy
Christmas travel period. Regularity, the share of scheduled flights taking
place, was 99.6 percent for Norwegian and 95.7 percent for Widerøe, up 0.8 and
7.1 percentage points respectively. Punctuality, the share of flights departing
within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 82.0 percent for Norwegian and 84.1
percent for Widerøe.
"Our New Year's sale is now under way, which is the most significant and largest
sales period of the year. The response so far has been encouraging, and the
campaign will continue later into January. The overall booking momentum also
remains encouraging, and we remain fully focused on strong execution for the
rest of our winter programme. At the same time, we are also looking ahead to the
summer schedule, which will be our most extensive in several years," said Geir
Karlsen.
For Widerøe, the capacity (ASK) in December was 161 million seat kilometres, an
increase of 6 percent from December 2024. The actual passenger traffic (RPK) was
108 million seat kilometres, while the load factor was 67.2 percent, down 6.1
percentage points compared with December the previous year. Widerøe set a new
annual passenger record of 4.13 million for 2025.
