The Norwegian Group delivered an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 3,732 million, the highest in the company’s history. In the fourth quarter, the Group reported an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 21 million, an improvement on the negative result recorded in the same period in 2024.
The Board of Directors will propose a dividend of NOK 0.80 per share for 2025, totalling NOK 844 million, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting.
The Group carried 6.2 million passengers in the fourth quarter, of whom 5.2 million travelled with Norwegian and 1.0 million with Widerøe. Compared with the same period last year, this represents an increase in passenger numbers for both airlines. Norwegian’s production (ASK) was reduced by 3% during the quarter to reflect seasonally lower demand, while Widerøe’s production increased by 2%. Norwegian achieved a load factor of 86.0%, up 1.8 percentage points on the same period in 2024. Widerøe reported a load factor of 70.5%.
For the full year 2025, the Norwegian Group carried a total of 27.3 million passengers, compared with 26.4 million in 2024. The operating margin for the year reached 9.9%, a record high for the Group.
“I am pleased to report the best full-year result in Norwegian’s history, to which Widerøe also made a significant contribution. This demonstrates that our customers value our product and the service we provide. The strong performance enables us to continue paying a dividend to our shareholders, while also investing for the future, including in one of Europe’s most modern aircraft fleets,” said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
