Flyr is expanding its European network with the addition of five new destinations, including Pisa, which is the third in Italy.

Flyr flies to 13 destinations
Waiting for the rebound in travel demand expected for the summer, Flyr closed the month of January with a total of 30,042 passengers who traveled to 13 destinations. Numbers that were influenced by the adaptation of supply to the reduced demand for travel caused by the increase in the spread of Omicron, as well as to the restrictions implemented by the government in December.
A satisfying load factor for January
Total capacity in January, with an average of 3 aircraft in operation, was 53.5 million ASKs (available seat kilometers), with a load factor of 53.7%. "The home office recommendation and newly implemented social restrictions greatly affected the aviation industry and led to a substantial reduction in customer bookings, particularly for January. Considering this situation, we are very pleased with the load factor we achieved during the month," commented Tonje Wikstrøm Frislid, Ceo of Flyr.
