Norwegian reports 11 percent passenger growth in May

A total of 2,923,597 passengers chose to fly with Norwegian in May, 281,931 more than the same period last year. The total traffic growth (RPK) increased by 17 percent, while the capacity growth (ASK) increased by 19 percent.

“We are very pleased to see that more passengers chose to fly Norwegian. Our international growth continues, in line with the company’s global strategy, enabling us to create more jobs. The launch of our new long-haul base in Rome and the routes to New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco have been very well received on both sides of the Atlantic,” said CEO of Norwegian, Bjørn Kjos.

Norwegian operated 99.7 percent of the scheduled flights in May, whereof 82.7 percent departed on time.

Norwegian’s fleet renewal program continues with full force in 2017. The company took delivery of one Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and three Boeing 737-800s in May. With an average age of only 3.6 years, Norwegian’s fleet is one of the world’s “greenest” and most modern.
