Norwegian’s
traffic figures for September show a continued increase in the number of
passengers as demand strengthens across the network. Traditional booking
patterns are beginning to return and more people are planning ahead and booking
to travel to our popular city break and winter sun destinations.
“We are
pleased to be able to report for the fifth consecutive month a continued
positive increase in passenger numbers. Demand is steadily growing across all
our markets and bookings to our key European destinations are showing that our
customers are regaining confidence in the travel sector and are now planning
their future journeys well in advance,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO
of Norwegian.
In
September, Norwegian carried 977 719 passengers, an increase of 206 per cent
compared to the same period last year. Compared with September 2020, the total
capacity (ASK) has increased by 154 per cent and passenger traffic (RPK) up 248
per cent. Load factor in September was 72.4 per cent, an increase of 20
percentage points compared with last year.
“More people
are choosing to travel with Norwegian every month due to our focused route
network, good value fares, modern fuel-efficient aircraft and our onboard
experience. We look forward to welcoming an increasing number of passengers
over the coming months,” continued Karlsen.
Norwegian
continues to ramp up operations in line with demand and the company has now
reopened bases in Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. Norwegian operated an
average of 46 aircraft in September, of which 92.1 per cent departed on time.
