Norwegian's passenger numbers for the month of May have shown an increase, which is at least in part thanks to the vaccine roll-out and fewer border restrictions. A total of 96,909 customers flew the budget carrier last month, which is approx. 23,000 more than at the same time last year. The load factor in May was 54.8%, an increase of 16% compared with 2020.
“Despite low volumes, we are experiencing an increasingly positive trend in the number of bookings for the summer and autumn period. This is especially noticeable in the Scandinavian market. The increase in the number of bookings demonstrates a clear connection with the announced and gradual opening of society and the relaxing of travel restrictions by government authorities. We are prepared and ready to increase our route network to meet future customer demand.” Said Jacob Schram, CEO of Norwegian.
Norwegian operated ten aircraft in May, mainly on Norwegian domestic routes. The company operated 99.1 percent of its scheduled flights in May, whereof 95.9 percent departed on time.
