Widerøe’s carried number of passengers increased by 12.4%
during October to 216,000. The capacity was increased with
14% and the traffic was up 12.5%. The strong growth is driven
by the fact that Widerøe has taken over SAS's Fokker 50
production on the West Coast, larger aircraft on other routes
and by an underlying positive development.

passengers was up 17.7%. New European destinations,
additional frequencies on existing destinations and improved
