Description
The Norwegian air passenger company Flyr files for bankruptcy and more than 400 jobs are cut with immediate effect. The company failed to raise capital needed to continue its business, and an estate manager has taken over the responsibility for the company. The company has been in financial insecurity since the fall of 2022. The Cockpit Association of Norway organizes pilots in Flyr and strongly regrets that the company is now bankrupt. Flyr is a Norwegian low-cost airline established in 2020.
