Norwegian increased its passenger numbers by 206 percent to 977,719 in September, compared to the same month a year earlier. The month before, growth was 152 percent.

The company describes that traditional booking patterns are returning and customers are now also booking trips for the upcoming winter season and also for next summer.

”"It is pleasing to be able to report a continued increase in passenger numbers for the fifth consecutive month. As Scandinavia has opened up, demand for flights has increased. Demand has increased steadily both for domestic travel and to our European destinations. The confidence that travel can now be carried out as planned means that customers are also booking travel further ahead," says Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.

If traffic is measured in revenue passenger kilometers, RPK, the airline increased by 248 percent during the month (168).

Capacity, measured as ASK, increased by 154 percent in September (129).

The cabin load factor was 72.4 percent in September (72.6).
