Flyr Reaches Charter Flight Agreements for Summer Season

DALLAS — Norwegian low-cost carrier Flyr (FS) has signed a letter of intent with an unidentified customer for charter flights between May and October this year.

The potential deal is valued at US$9.1m (NOK90m). The LCC says that its updated business plan will allow it to diversify its route portfolio and adjust to seasonal demand.

This news comes following a hard winter season for the carrier. FS has cut multiple routes and maintained a limited fleet due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then inflation in late 2022.

FS carried 1.7 million passengers in 2022, with a load factor of 74%. Going forward, the carrier hopes to increase its load factor to somewhere between 80% and 90%.
