Norwegian Air says the lengthy reconstruction process it has undergone over the past year has ensured it is well set to weather the "traditionally challenging" winter months ahead.

The new aircraft will be delivered into service from 2025

The carrier posted a third-quarter pre-tax profit of NOK 169 million (£14.6 million) on Thursday (28 October), which compares to a loss of NOK 980 million (£84.6 million) during the same three-month period last year.


It is Norwegian’s second consecutive quarterly profit following completion of the reconstruction process in May, which saw it shutter its long-haul at Gatwick.


Norwegian said passenger demand was returning across all markets, while forward bookings "remain strong" leading into summer 2022. The airline cut its route network dramatically to focus primarily on domestic and Nordic routes, but is hopeful of re-establishing more European routes next year.
