Increasing levels of passengers connecting between short and long-haul flights offered by Norwegian helped boost the budget airline’s September passenger numbers.
Carryings rose by 9% in the month to 2.4 million over September 2014 with the overall load factor up by 6.8 percentage points to 88.2%.
Chief executive Bjørn Kjos said: “Norwegian´s long-haul operation continues to make a positive contribution to our growth, with 96% of the seats filled in September.
“We also see that an increasing number of passengers are taking advantage of our extensive European network to connect onwards to the US or Thailand.
“This shows the excellent links and travel opportunities that a seamless long and short-haul operation can create.
“The fact that we once again receive new international recognition proves that travellers all over the world appreciate Norwegian.”
