Norwegian is fine-tuning its network across Scandinavia following a record summer season, balancing capacity while expanding in Denmark and the Baltics.
Previously, airlines in this region have performed well, but this time we’ll zoom out and see how efficiency at Finnair, Norwegian, SAS and Wideroe has changed.
Norwegian trimmed its 2025 capacity growth forecast due to delayed Boeing deliveries, but says it anticipates a “great summer” following a positive Q1.
Carriers in the Scandinavian region have a good track record when it comes to emissions; this week, we investigate whether this has continued into 2024.
Widerøe believes a “fee shock” from state-owned airport operator Avinor may have consequences for its flight offerings, especially for rural communities.
Changes were seen at U.S., European and South American carriers, a major SAF provider, an aircraft manufacturer, and a European airport management company.
The carrier’s liquidity position improved through Q1 to $949 million, which includes the cash settlement for the Wideroe acquisition completed in January.
The effect operating smaller aircraft has on emissions per ASK is shown in Widerøe’s results, highlighting the importance of also considering total emissions.
The airline plans to keep capacity at reduced levels for the rest of the winter season to match seasonally lower demand, ramping up from March into the summer.
Scandinavian LCC Norwegian and regional airline Widerøe, officially combined since Jan. 12, are beginning to roll out the first stages of their new cooperation.
Norwegian says it strongly disagrees with the competition authority's assessment and says the majority of documentation it provided has not been considered.
The Norwegian Competition Authority is concerned Norwegian Air Shuttle’s planned acquisition of regional carrier Wideroe could harm Norway’s air travel market.
