Norwegian passenger numbers grew strongly last month after an increase in business travellers.
The airline said it carried around 2.6 million passengers in May, an increase of 11 per cent from the same month last year.
The total traffic growth (RPK) increased by 15 per cent and the capacity (ASK) increased by 11 per cent.
Norwegian CEO Bjørn Kjos said: “We are very satisfied that an increasing number of business and leisure passengers are choosing Norwegian.
“On intercontinental routes in particular, we are experiencing increasingly strong demand as we continue to launch new routes and destinations, not least between London Gatwick and the US.”
