In December, Norwegian had more than 1.3 million passengers and recorded a
strong load factor of 83.6%, 6 percentage points higher than December 2022.
Throughout 2023, Norwegian carried over 20 million passengers, a 16 percent
increase from the previous year.

"With 1.3 million passengers in December, a total of more than 20 million
passengers chose to travel with us in 2023. Our load factor has increased
significantly from December 2022, and I am happy to see these solid results in
combination with future bookings picking up after the holidays. Our customers
are now planning and booking their next travel adventure with many taking
advantage of our New Year's sale that was launched recently," said Geir Karlsen,
CEO of Norwegian.

Norwegian had 1,308,441 passengers in December, close to the same number as in
December 2022. The capacity (ASK) was 2,013 million seat kilometres, down five
percent from the same period last year. Actual passenger traffic (RPK) was 1,684
million seat kilometres. Unit revenue (RASK) is estimated at NOK 0.64, while
unit revenue including flight related ancillary revenue is estimated at NOK
0.76. In December, Norwegian operated an average of 65 aircraft with a
regularity, meaning the share of scheduled flights taking place, of 99.5
percent. Punctuality was affected by the winter storm Pia and the share of
flights departing within 15 minutes of scheduled time was 70.4 percent. However,
93 per cent of all departed flights arrived on schedule or within one hour of
scheduled arrival time.

For 2023 as a whole, Norwegian had 20.6 million passengers, an increase of 16
percent from the previous year, the capacity was up by a total of 18 percent,
while the load factor increased by 2 percentage points to 84.7percent.

"Winter storm Pia challenged our operations a few days prior to Christmas, but
thanks to the relentless effort and meticulous planning by colleagues across the
business, we managed to add several extra flights and get passengers home in
time for their Christmas celebrations," said Karlsen.

In December, the Norwegian Competition Authority (NCA) approved Norwegian's
acquisition of Widerøe, and the transaction will be implemented later this
month. The two companies complement each other well and will create a
streamlined and more comprehensive offering for all customers.

In December, Norwegian launched new routes from cities in Norway to Rhodes,
Palma de Mallorca, Edinburgh and Istanbul. The flight schedule for summer 2024
offers more than 330 routes to more than 120 destinations.
