 We are very pleased that we have attracted more new business- and leisure travelers this month. The growth is primarily due to international expansion, particularly our intercontinental operation. Domestic flights in Spain and the routes between the French Caribbean and the U.S. East Coast are also preforming well. Demand in the Nordic region is good and stable.”

In February, Norwegian launched its first new routes between Paris (CDG) and the American cities New York, Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles. Norwegians new offer has already been well received.

The company’s first of 30 new and bigger Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners entered the fleet this month. Norwegian will take delivery of four such aircraft in 2016. A brand new Boeing 737-800 also entered the fleet in February, the second of 17 this year. With an average age of 3.6 years, Norwegian’s fleet is one of Europe’s newest and most environmentally friendly.

Norwegian operated 99.7 per cent of its scheduled flights in February, whereof 79.5 per cent departed on time.
