Sources: Based on official full-year 2015 annual report for Norwegian Air Shuttle, Finnair, Vueling, SAS Group (31.10.2015), Easyjet (30.09.2015), and full-year 2015 report for Ryanair and WizzAir (31.03.2016). Eurowings figures are from the “Eurowings Management Presentation” 10.06.2016.
  • Cost per available seat kilometer is an industry-wide cost level indicator often referred to as “CASK”. Usually represented as operating expenses before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA level) over produced seat kilometers (ASK).
  • Foreign exchange rates used are equivalent to the daily average rates corresponding to the reporting periods and as stated by the Central Bank of Norway
  • Note: For some carriers the available financial data represents Group level data which may include cost items from activities that are unrelated to airline operations.
  • Other losses / (gains) is not included in the CASK concept as it primarily contains hedge gains/losses offset under financial items* as well as other non-operational income and/or cost items such as gains on the sale of spare part inventory and unrealized foreign currency effects on receivables/payables

and (hedges of operational expenses). *Norwegian hedges USD/NOK to counter foreign currency risk exposure on USD denominated borrowings translated to the prevailing currency rate at each balance sheet date. Hedge gains and losses are according to IFRS recognized under operating expenses (other losses/ (gains) while foreign currency gains and losses from translation of USD denominated borrowings are recognized under financial items.

Outlook for 2017

Markets and business

Negative impact from passenger tax in Norway Weaker demand in the UK post Brexit Booking volumes on par with last year, capacity adjusted

An estimated production growth (ASK) of 30 % (unchanged)

737-800 / 737 MAX +20 %, 787 Dreamliners +60 % Increasing distance driven by mix

Unit cost target of NOK 0.39 to 0.40 (up from 0.38 to 0.39)

Assumptions: Fuel price of USD 500 per metric ton, USD/NOK 8.25, EUR/NOK 9.00 Impact of SLB (leasing is included in CASK) and ramp-up of intercontinental operations Based on the current route portfolio and planned production

32 new aircraft entering operations in 2017

17 737-800 (returning four old leased aircraft) Six 737 MAX Nine 787-9 Dreamliners (incl. five leased)

Three 320neos to be leased out to HK Express (Seven neos delayed)
