Norse Atlantic Airways last month surpassed a milestone of one million booked passengers since the start of ticket sales in April.
The transatlantic low cost carrier operating from Gatwick and other European cities to the US saw passenger carryings rise by 53,594 to a record 150,621 in July over the previous month.
The airline operated a total 524 flights, an increase of 173 compared to June.
Norse Atlantic reported that 62.5% of flights arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time. The company operated 100% of scheduled flights for the third consecutive month.
The load factor improved by two percentage points month-on-month to 85% – the fifth month in row that the carrier has recorded an increase.
Chief executive Bjorn Tore Larsen said: “Norse Atlantic achieved a number of record figures in July including 524 flown flights – the largest number of flights operated in our history, and over 150,000 passengers flown in a month – marking the first time that Norse Atlantic has carried over 100,000 passengers, all while maintaining a high load factor of 85%.
“These figures clearly demonstrate the demand for long haul low cost travel and the success of our summer route network. I am especially proud of our track record of operating 100% of scheduled flights for the third consecutive month.”
He added: “For the winter season we will continue to focus on winter sun destinations and I am pleased that we are now able to offer direct flights between Paris and Berlin to Miami.
“In July we celebrated surpassing one million booked passengers since our launch in April 2023 and I would like to thank each one of our customers for choosing to fly with Norse.
“Our brand presence and awareness continue to grow on both sides of the Atlantic and we look forward to building on this momentum in the months ahead.”
