Norse Atlantic Airways has recorded its highest-ever load factor during a single month, with the airline reporting an average load factor of 92% in November 2024, an increase of 31 percentage points in comparison to the same month a year prior.
The company operated 352 flights and transported 94,612 passengers across its network and its ACMI and charter operations, a 94% increase in passenger numbers compared to the same period last year.
Norse has offered ACMI and charter operations since November 2022, with the airline most recently wet leasing six of its 787 aircraft to an undisclosed international airline.
During the month, 78% of the airline’s flights departed within 15 minutes of their scheduled departure time, with 64% of all flights arriving within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time.
Norse cites “negative impacts from air traffic control restrictions and airport-related challenges,” as a reason for the lower on-time arrival statistics.
ACMI and charter services also saw growth, with 128 flights operated in November 2024 compared to four flights in November 2023.
