Norwegian Air tripled passenger carryings to 18 million last year over 2021.
The Scandinavian budget airline rounded off the year with December numbers rising by 41% to more than 1.3 million passengers as it operated a fleet of 64 aircraft.
The carrier reported a return of high demand for air travel and continued positive booking trends.
Norwegian Air said it was now able to hedge jet fuel for both 2023 and 2024 thanks to its solid financial situation.
“Current fuel hedges, which run through 2023, are struck at levels below today’s spot price,” the airline announced.
Chief executive Geir Karlsen said: “On domestic travels in Norway, passenger numbers are now on par with pre-pandemic levels.
“Despite challenging weather on many of the busiest travel days that affected aviation both in the Nordics and in Europe, we managed to take passengers to their Christmas destinations.
“More than nine out of ten flights arrived on time or within one hour of their scheduled arrival time.”
He added: “All in all, 2022 has been a very good year for Norwegian. A strong pent-up demand for air travel, particularly for beach destinations during the peak leisure season, resulting in a record busy summer.
“We continue to experience positive booking trends and ticket sales are currently exceeding our expectations.
“Our customers have responded very positively to our new year’s sale and are taking advantage of the campaign to plan this year’s travels, both short and long term.”
