In July, Norwegian had 2,566,235 passengers, which sets a new post-pandemic
record for number of passengers in a month. Widerøe's passenger number was
362,337, the highest July figure ever recorded, bringing the group total to
2,928,572. Also, Norwegian announced the first dividend payment in the company's
history.
"We are pleased that July continued the good momentum of the summer season.
Norwegian recorded the highest monthly passenger number since July 2019.
Operational performance remained solid for a peak summer month, despite high
traffic volumes and disruptions in European air traffic control. Widerøe also
had a strong month, with an increase of almost ten percent in passenger numbers
compared with the same period last year. I would like to thank all our
colleagues for their commitment and efforts throughout this busy month," said
Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) in July was 4,129 million seat kilometres, up 1
percent from last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) for Norwegian was 3,813
million seat kilometres, an increase of 1 percent. The load factor was 92.4
percent, down 0.2 percentage points. Norwegian operated an average of 90
aircraft during July.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) in July was 200 million seat kilometres, down 0.3
percent from last year. The actual passenger traffic (RPK) for Widerøe was 163
million seat kilometres, while the load factor was 81.4 percent, down 2.2
percentage points.
Norwegian and Widerøe's punctuality, defined as the share of flights departing
within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 73.2 percent and 89.3 percent,
respectively. Regularity, measured by the share of scheduled flights taking
place, was 99.2 percent for Norwegian and 97.6 percent for Widerøe.
Strong booking momentum and dividend payment
Earlier this summer, Norwegian announced that a dividend would be paid in
August. Furthermore, the group's booking momentum continues to be solid going
into the last summer month and the autumn.
"We continue to see strong booking momentum heading into autumn. Despite very
nice summer weather in the Nordics, our customers remain eager to travel - for
both business and leisure - and explore destinations across Europe. In addition,
we are thrilled to be approaching the company's first dividend payment in its
history, of NOK 0.90 per share, scheduled for payment on 20 August," said Geir
Karlsen.
