In December 2025, Norse Atlantic Airways delivered strong passenger growth, flying over 151 thousand passengers, an increase of 22% from the same month in 2024. The load factor was 98% across network and ACMI/Charter operations, up 4%-points year-over-year, and the fourteenth consecutive month above 90%.
The progress reflects the successful transition to a dual strategy business model in the second half of the year and improved performance in own network. At year-end, 5 aircraft were flying on ACMI charters for IndiGo, with the 6 set to be delivered in early 2026 according to plan.
