In January, the Norwegian Group had 1.52 million passengers. For Norwegian, the
passenger number was 1.24 million, while for Widerøe it was 282,000. January is
generally a month with lower travel activity, and capacity was well-adjusted to
the seasonally lower demand.
"I am pleased with the start of the year. We adjusted Norwegian's capacity for a
quieter travel month and hit the mark with a significantly improved load factor
of 86 percent. At the same time, we see our unit revenues strengthening,
reflecting overall high demand in our markets," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of
Norwegian.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 2,099 million seat kilometres, a decrease of 7
percent from January 2025. Revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) were 1,801 million
seat kilometres, down 2 percent from last year. In January, Norwegian had an
average of 72 aircraft in operation. The load factor was 85.8 percent, an
increase of 3.8 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of
scheduled flights that took place, was 99.3 percent. Punctuality, the share of
flights departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 70.4 percent.
"Demand for flights with Norwegian remains solid. Bookings for the remainder of
the winter are looking encouraging and are ahead of the levels at the same time
last year. Travel to warmer destinations is particularly popular at the moment,"
said Geir Karlsen.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) was 156 million seat kilometres, down 1 percent from
last year. Revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) were 100 million seat kilometres,
a decrease of 7 percent from January 2025. The load factor was 64.2 percent,
down 4.2 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the share of scheduled
flights that took place, was 96.5 percent. Punctuality, the share of flights
departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time, was 85.7 percent.
"Our operational performance in January has been solid, with high punctuality
and regularity, despite the winter weather conditions. This provides a great
foundation as we look forward to welcoming more winter holiday travellers on
board," said Tore Jenssen, CEO of Widerøe.
