Norwegian Airlines carried almost 3.5 million passengers in June, a slight decrease from the same month in 2018.
The airline's total traffic (RPK) increased by 7%, and the capacity growth (ASK) was 5%. The airline's load factor was 91.5%, up 1 percentage point.
Norwegian CEO CEO Bjørn Kjos said: “The total number of passengers declined slightly in June, due to the grounding of 18 Boeing 737 Max and less charter capacity. At the same time the number of long-haul passengers increased considerably. After taking delivery of one Dreamliner in June, we now have a long-haul fleet consisting of 36 new, more fuel-efficient aircraft. Following a period of significant expansion and investments.
"I’m pleased to see that the June figures show 10 percent higher unit revenue and that our growth is slowing down, in line with our strategy of moving from growth to profitability."
