A total of 2.62 million passengers flew with the Norwegian Group during May, of which 2.25 million with Norwegian and 364,000 with Widerøe. Norwegian continued its stable operational performance with a regularity of 99.7 percent and punctuality that increased to 89.8 percent.
– I am very pleased that May also had strong operational performance for passengers traveling with Norwegian and Widerøe. Good regularity and punctuality are important for all our customers. The results show that the focus on reliability is paying off as we enter the travel-intensive summer season, says Norwegian's CEO Geir Karlsen.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 3,741 million seat kilometers in May, an increase of 5 percent compared to May 2025. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 3,050 million seat kilometers, an increase of 3 percent from the same period last year. In May, Norwegian had an average of 93 aircraft in operation. The cabin factor, which was affected by the capacity increase, was 81.5 percent, down 2 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the proportion of scheduled flights that were operated, was 99.7 percent. Punctuality, the proportion of departures that depart within 15 minutes of the regular schedule, was 89.8 percent, an increase of 1.3 percentage points from last year. Both regularity and punctuality were among the best in Europe in May.
– Despite significant capacity increases in the coming months, especially in June, we see continued good demand across the entire route network. Many of the most popular routes are filling up quickly and we continue to offer large capacity with a broad offering in several markets. This ensures that customers can find both a large selection of options and competitive prices, continues Geir Karlsen.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) was 197 million seat kilometers, an increase of 2 percent from last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 137 million seat kilometers, a decrease of 4 percent compared to May 2025. The cabin factor was 69.7 percent, up 1.2 percentage points from last year. Regularity, the proportion of scheduled flights that were operated, was 98.6 percent. Punctuality, the proportion of departures that depart within 15 minutes of the regular schedule, was 95.7 percent, an increase of 2.7 percentage points from last year.
Neither Norwegian nor Widerøe cancelled a single flight due to the increased fuel prices. Both airlines continue to deliver a reliable and predictable product so that customers can feel secure during the summer peak season.
