72% Load Factor in February Representing Strong Year On Year Improvement of 22 percentage points
February marked another month of continued year on year positive performance. The month saw an average load factor of 72 per cent, representing an increase of 22 percentage points (p.p.) year on year. During February, Norse Atlantic Airways had 50,694 passengers across 225 flights, including 30 charter flights. 82 per cent of flights arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time with a completion rate of 100 per cent.
"The ability for Norse to be agile and quickly respond to market demand remains our core strength and the result of previously adjusted winter capacity has led to a strong February load factor. Our charter operations continue to grow, with 30 being completed during the month, and we are looking forward to commencing ACMI operations with Air Peace in April and launching their first flight between Lagos, Nigeria, and London.
I am also pleased to note that February represented a record month in regards to average bookings made per day. In addition, we have simplified and relaunched our website, flynorse.com, to improve the customer experience," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder Norse Atlantic Airways.
