Norwegian Air reports 16% passenger growth for October
Norwegian Air reported a 16% increase in passenger numbers for October to 2.77m. In October Norwegian added 23% more capacity (in available seat km), and saw a traffic gain of 24% in revenue seat km. Load factor was up 0.6 percentage points at 88.4%. “Our long-haul routes are more or less full, which proves that customers on both sides of the Atlantic appreciate high quality and low fares,” Norwegian Air’s CE Bjørn Kjos said. Separately, Norwegian Air said Sweden and the US have signed a bilateral agreement to introduce US border control at Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport, which means passengers will not have to go through immigration procedures on arrival in the US. Norwegian said the agreement could lead to additional traffic growth at Arlanda. The agreement is subject to approval by the Swedish parliament.<br/>
