Fleet order and network growth
September brought several major developments for the Norwegian Group. In addition to the announcement of Widerøe joining Norwegian Reward, Norwegian launched the 2026 summer programme and exercised the option to expand the Boeing MAX 8 order.
“This has been an especially active month. I am very pleased that we could confirm we will be exercising our option to expand the Boeing order by 30 aircraft. This will be pivotal to our ongoing fleet renewal and underlines Norwegian’s growth ambitions in the years ahead. We launched our summer programme on 10 September and added several new and exciting destinations, including 10 new international routes from Billund, Denmark. The booking momentum is encouraging, with high loads during the autumn vacation holiday periods, and with demand for winter and Christmas travel increasing,” said Geir Karlsen.

Oslo – Tangier Oslo – Palermo Bergen – Riga Bergen - Palanga Stockholm – Milan Stockholm – Hamburg Gothenburg – Tirana Copenhagen – Cluj
