Norwegian carried almost 3.4 million passengers in May, the company said as it reported improved for the ninth consecutive month.
A total of 3.36 million passengers chose to fly with Norwegian in May, slightly down from the same month in 2018.
The total traffic (RPK) increased by 4%, while the capacity growth (ASK) was 4%. The load factor was 86.1%, down 0.4 percentage points.
“With 18 Boeing 737 Max grounded, we carried fewer passengers in May compared to the same month last year. However, our customers travel longer distances and we see a higher unit revenue. Following a period of significant expansion and investments, the figures show that our growth is slowing down, in line with our strategy of moving from growth to profitability. I’m also pleased to see that our on-time performance continues to improve,” says CEO of Norwegian Bjørn Kjos.
The company took delivery of one Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in May.
