Today we are releasing the Norwegian Group's third quarter of 2024 ✈️   The Norwegian Group delivered an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 2,128 million in the third quarter of 2024. The quarter was characterised by capacity growth for Norwegian and improving load factors for both airlines within the group. Widerøe contributed solidly and, for the first time ever in a quarter, carried over 1 million passengers.     “We are pleased with a solid quarter, showing increased load factors and unit revenues across both airlines, especially considering a 10 percent capacity increase for Norwegian. A record quarter for Widerøe demonstrates that the acquisition is bearing fruits, and we look forward to continuing to develop the significant synergies between the airlines. The booking momentum for the fourth quarter is encouraging across the group, both for leisure and business travel. Norwegian is operating a number of new leisure routes, including Dubai and Egypt, in addition to routes from European cities to the popular winter destinations of Tromsø and Evenes,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
