Ancillary revenue of over $100 per passenger in June

83 per cent load factor for the month of June

During this first year, the carrier has transported well over half a million passengers.

We now have all 15 aircraft in our fleet operating, ten directly for Norse Atlantic and five subleased until summer 2024.

Our load factor continues to grow and as we head into the peak summer season we expect this trend to continue. I am especially pleased that in June we recorded well in excess of $100 in ancillary revenue per passenger.
