In July 2025, Widerøe handled 9627 arriving flights, reflecting +7.06% year-over-year change.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 96.64%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): -0.13%

Cancelled flights: 135

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -51.79%

Punctuality remained high at 96.64%, with a small year-over-year shift of -0.13%. Operations benefited from relatively stable summer weather and consistent ground processes across regional airports, although peak congestion still required tight coordination. Widerøe mitigated disruption risk through proactive maintenance planning and dynamic crew and aircraft allocation, contributing to fewer cancellations (135 flights, -51.79% YoY).

Key Hubs

Widerøe operates through a network of regional bases across Norway’s coast and north, enabling frequent point‑to‑point flying and convenient connections to trunk routes. High‑frequency shuttles support essential travel for communities and feed interline partners at national gateways. Wave structures in morning and late afternoon compress connection times without overstressing ground resources.

Outlook

For travelers, Widerøe currently offers one of the most reliable short‑haul operations in the region with an on‑time rate near 96.64%. Expect peak‑season crowds on popular coastal routes; allow a little extra time at smaller fields where weather can change quickly. Into late summer and early autumn, the airline plans to hold punctuality steady through proactive maintenance windows and flexible crewing, while adding capacity selectively where demand remains tight.
