Norwegian carried had 1,531,361 passengers while subsidiary Widerøe had 326,041 passengers.
November load factor remained stable as average flying distance increased by 17% compared to last year as the network includes more routes to warm winter and arctic tourism destinations.

November brought several days of challenging weather conditions that affected operations.
Karlsen said booking momentum is encouraging, especially for the busy Christmas travel season ‘as a result of successful marketing campaigns.’

Norwegian operated an average of 75 aircraft during November.
