Norwegian flew 1,322,696 passengers in July.

The Norwegian low cost airline with bases in Scandinavia and Poland have increased by 274 000 passengers and 26 percent compared with July last year. Norwegian which is arguably the third largest low cost airline in Europe thus has broken it’s passenger record for the third consecutive month.

“It is gratifying that the positive development of traffic continues in July with full pressure. The aviation industry has had some turbulent months because of the closed sky and third party strikes in several countries, but the strong passenger growth shows that confidence in the Norwegian and the aviation industry in general is very much back where it was and should be, ” says CEO Bjørn Kjos .

The load factor for the Group (Norwegian Air Shuttle) stood at 85 percent in July, down 3 percent since last year. The company operated 99.7 percent of its scheduled flights, of which 79.2 percent were on time. Punctuality was strongly influenced by third-party strikes in Greece and France, in addition to slot delays in northern Spain, France, Greece and Croatia because of high summer traffic in the sky.
