Norwegian has reported its strongest passenger growth has come from Gatwick.

The low-cost airline’s Q3 results for 2014 show that the airline carried 7.1 million passengers in the period, up from 6 million in the same period in the previous year, while capacity grew 36%.

The UK market has seen the bioggest growth with statistics showing passenger numbers for the third quarter have grown by 47% since 2009.

Despite the growth and a load factor of 85%, a three percentage point increase year on year, the pre tax profit was 505 million krone as opposed to 604 million krone the previous year.
