AVIATION NEWS-\u00a0<\/strong>Norwegian Group carried 2.8 million passengers in September 2026, comprising 2.4 million with Norwegian and 394,000 with Wider\u00f8e. Norwegian\u2019s load factor rose by 0.6 percentage points to 87.1%, as passenger traffic grew faster than capacity.
\nNorwegian increased capacity by 6% year-on-year, while traffic rose by 7%. The airline operated an average of 94 aircraft, completed 99.4% of scheduled flights and recorded departure punctuality of 84.3%. On 30 September, it received two Boeing 737 MAX 8s, marking its 200th and 201st aircraft deliveries.
\nWider\u00f8e increased capacity by 3% and traffic by 1%, with its load factor falling by 1.6 percentage points to 71.8%. Punctuality reached 94.5%, while regularity stood at 98.2%.
\nChief executive Geir Karlsen reported strong demand for Nordic autumn holidays and encouraging winter bookings, including sunny destinations, European city breaks and inbound tourism to northern Scandinavia.
