Norwegian Reports Positive November Traffic Figures

2012-12-07 — /travelprnews.com/ — Norwegian’s (NAS) passenger growth continued in November, up 12 percent compared with the same month previous year.

The airline flew 1,458,872 passengers in November. The total passenger traffic (RPK) increased by 21 percent and the total capacity (ASK) increased by 23 percent. The unit revenue also developed positively, with a RASK increase of 5 percent. The load factor was 76 percent in November.

“I am pleased with November’s traffic figures, particularly with the positive development in unit revenue given the high capacity increase in a seasonally slow period of the year. The passenger growth proves that our low fares, extensive route network, brand-new and more eco-friendly aircraft with better comfort and free inflight WiFi are well received,” said Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos.

The company operated 99.8 percent of its scheduled flights this month, whereof 85.5 percent departed on time.
