Budget airline Flyr cancels all flights as company ceases trading

Low cost airline Flyr has cancelled all of its flights after the company announced it had ceased trading. The Norwegian budget passenger airline was unsuccessful with its new financial plan and the board concluded on Tuesday evening (January 31) there are no alternatives for further operation.

Flyr will now file for bankruptcy on Wednesday morning (February 1). They have ceased trading and all flights have been cancelled and not rescheduled.

Posting on their website, Flyr said: "Many thanks to everyone who has chosen to fly with us over the past year and a half. We will miss you all from the bottom of our hearts and deeply apologize to everyone affected by the fact that we now have to go in for landing.

"We encourage everyone who has booked a ticket with us to contact their credit card company for a refund. The bankruptcy trustee will take over all responsibility for Flyr going forward, and will share contact information on www.flyr.com as soon as it becomes available."

Flyr operated out of Edinburgh Airport and was set to fly from London Gatwick Airport in March 2023. It comes just days after Flybe announced its collapse, cancelling all flights and the loss of hundreds of jobs. The airline went into administration less than a year after returning to trading, following a previous collapse.

Flybe operated scheduled services from Belfast, Birmingham and Heathrow to airports across the UK and to Amsterdam and Geneva.
