Flyr plans drastic reduction of operation

Flyr, Norway's newest low-cost airline, has announced it will drastically reduce its operations in the upcoming winter season. Due to inflation, high energy costs, and higher interest rates, the airline expects lower customer demand and it sees no other option than to reduce operations and staff to cut costs. In total, the total reduction of its operations is around 50%.

Flyr will keep a staff that is sufficient enough to operate five to six aircraft, which is half of the fleet. Today, it operates six B737-800s and six B737-8s. Most of its domestic flights will be scrapped, focusing on flying between Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. Internationally, Flyr will only serve Alicante, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Las Palmas, Malaga, Nice and Rome between November 2022 and April 2023.

With these measures, Flyr wants to position itself for a ramp-up for next year's summer season once demand returns.
