-The growth domestic is 2 percent in November and 2 percent so far this year. The key driver for the passenger numbers in November are an increase internationally by 12 %. At the same time, the growth domestic is exclusively driven by international travel transferring to and from international flights. The number of domestic trips is slightly down compared to November last year (-1%). This is a sign of the increasing interest in Norway as a tourism destination and that Norwegians continue to prioritize international travel at a time when many have tighter personal finances, says Gaute Skallerud Riise, Vice President Traffic
-The trend with fuller flights continues. November is the month with the strongest growth in load factor so far this year, with a full 3.5 percentage points increase from the same month last year. This is a trend that has been ongoing for many years and has been significantly strengthened in the last two years. The trend is positive both for the utilization of infrastructure and from an emissions perspective.
Flight movements
There were 49,824 commercial flight movements in November. This is 2 percent fewer than in November last year. So far this year, there are 1 percent fewer flight movements compared to the same period in 2023.

This year, there have been more than 23,000 flights in total, compared to 14,000 flights last year. This is an increase of 63 percent.
