Norwegian’s year of record growth and awards has continued with the airline’s website Norwegian.com now voted the World's Leading Low-Cost Airline Website at the World Travel Awards.

The World Travel Awards are voted for by travel and tourism professionals worldwide, with Norwegian already voted “Europe’s Leading Low-Cost Airline 2016” earlier this year. The latest award for Norwegian’s website was announced this weekend at the World Travel Awards Grand Final Gala Ceremony 2016 in the Maldives.

Norwegian.com is available in more than 10 different languages and receives over 145 million visits per year from passengers around the world – more than 7.7 million Norwegian flight and holiday bookings were made through the website last year alone.

Along with booking flights, hotels and car rentals, the website also helps passengers access flight and travel information; check-in online and make seat, food and baggage reservations; as well as providing travel guides for many of the 140 destinations Norwegian flies to across Europe, the US and Asia.

Norwegian Chief Commercial Officer Thomas Ramdahl said: “Norwegian.com is the gateway to our aim of offering affordable flights for all so we are delighted to receive this award. Through our state-of-the-art new aircraft, free inflight WiFi and live TV, and now our award-winning website, we are using the latest technology to show passengers that travelling low-cost can still mean high-quality.”

Along with winning two World Travel Awards in 2016, this summer Norwegian was also named the ‘World’s Best Low-Cost Long-Haul Airline’ for the second consecutive year and ‘Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe’ for the fourth year in a row at the renownedSkytrax World Airline Awards.

The company has over 8,200 employees and owns two of the prominent airlines in the Nordics: Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe’s Flyveselskap.
