Norwegian Air Shuttle said Monday that passenger numbers rose in October compared with the same month last year as air travel demand was particularly high during the Nordic autumn holidays.
The airline said it carried 2.07 million passengers in October, up 9.6% on year, and just above the 2.03 million passengers in September.
Overall capacity in October increased by 15% on year while traffic increased 16%.
“Many Nordic customers took advantage of the autumn holidays, prolonging the summer season,” Chief Executive Geir Karlsen said.
“We are well prepared for the quieter winter trading period with reduced capacity and favourable hedging position on fuel, among other actions. Our ticket sales for Christmas and New Year are solid, both domestically and to our European destinations.”
