Flyr

Norwegian carrier Flyr, having audaciously started up in the midst of the pandemic, survived for fewer than 600 days before being forced into bankruptcy ...

Flyr had undone some of its winter cash-preservation efforts in order to pursue the wet-lease deal, and this exacerbated the financial problems at the airline. Flyr was also bleeding cash at an alarming rate. But the scheme – a combination of a private placement and a subsequent offering – failed to attract a full subscription, and the airline turned to an alternative proposal from investors. The airline had aimed to take advantage of digital technology to simplify its customer bookings but experienced delays in integrating its systems with legacy distribution platforms, which obstructed its efforts to secure revenues from the business-travel sector.

The airline continued to expand over the first half, doubling its fleet to 10 jets and extending its network to nearly 40 destinations.
