For 16 years UNICEF has been Norwegian’s most important humanitarian partner. Norwegian’s support to UNICEF consists of humanitarian aid flights, fundraisers and donations from customers and employees. Together with our passengers we have raised over 60 million Norwegian kroner and have helped hundreds of thousands of children all over the world. 

Since 2014, the airline has carried out five humanitarian aid flights with UNICEF to the Central African Republic (2014), Jordan (2015), Mali (2017), Yemen (2017), Chad (2018) and Ethiopia (2023). 

Together we can support the most vulnerable children.

The collaboration with UNICEF gives us a sense of pride and commitment. Since 2007, Norwegian employees have donated their Christmas gifts to UNICEF.

This year, Norwegian employees are taking part in UNICEF's Christmas campaign to encourage other companies to give their employees a gift that they can be proud of, and children a gift they need to survive.
