The Norwegian Group had a total of 1.6 million passengers in February. For Norwegian, the number of passengers was 1.32 million, while Widerøe had 298,000. February had strong demand for the season and capacity was well adapted to seasonal variations in the market.
– February was another solid month for Norwegian, and I am particularly pleased with the high load factor for this time of year. It shows that our active capacity adjustment is working well. At the same time, unit revenues continue to strengthen, confirming the solid underlying demand in the Nordic markets, says Norwegian's CEO Geir Karlsen.
Norwegian's capacity (ASK) was 2,111 million seat kilometers, a decrease of 5 percent compared to February 2025. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 1,888 million seat kilometers, an increase of 0.5 percent from last year. In February, Norwegian had an average of 75 aircraft in operation. The cabin factor was 89.5 percent, an increase of 5 percentage points from last year. Regularity, which measures the proportion of flights completed, was 99.6 percent. Punctuality, which measures the proportion of departures that depart within 15 minutes of the regular schedule, was 75.4 percent.
Bookings for the coming months still look promising. To cushion the impact of fuel price fluctuations, the Norwegian Group has hedged 45 percent of its estimated fuel consumption for the rest of the year.
Widerøe's capacity (ASK) was 144 million seat kilometers, a decrease of 3 percent compared to last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 104 million seat kilometers, the same as February 2025. The cabin factor was 72.5 percent, an increase of 2 percentage points compared to last year. Regularity, which measures the proportion of flights carried out, was 96.8 percent. Punctuality, which measures the proportion of departures that depart within 15 minutes of the regular schedule, was 85.6 percent.
– February was a strong month for Widerøe. We are pleased with the growth in both passenger numbers and cabin factor, while maintaining stable operational performance. This is a good foundation for the travel-intensive spring and summer season, says Tore Jenssen, CEO of Widerøe.
