Flyr's third quarter results reflect that the company is in a start-up phase.
The company has been fully staffed with administrative resources and is
continuously investing in the operational and technical infrastructure, enabling
the introduction of new products and functionalities as well as the expansion
and entry into the market. During the quarter, the company launched new domestic
routes in Norway as well as routes to popular European leisure destinations and
attractive Ski destination in the Alps.
Commenting on the third quarter, CEO Tonje Wikstrøm Frislid says:
"The quarter is characterized by investments and costs related to start-up and
expansion as well as enthusiastic and dedicated employees and great feedback
from customers and partners.
Indeed, the pandemic is still a challenge for our industry and affected demand
during the majority of the quarter. However, we have seen positive booking
trends during the last part of the quarter. The fully integrated multiplatform
web-based booking-system is delivering as promised, our brand name recognition
is growing and not least, our on-time performance has been top-notch. We look
forward to the next step of the journey and to welcoming new and returning
guests on board our flights,"
Flyr's total revenue for the third quarter 2021 was NOK 40 million, of which NOK
1 million was ancillary revenues. Yield was NOK 0.44, with a load factor of
38,2% in the quarter, impacted by low travel demand particularly in August and
September due to Covid-19. However, demand showed an increasing trend towards
the end of quarter following the reopening of society in late September, and
yield in October was NOK 0,61.
Outlook
Flyr was established during the Covid-19 pandemic with the aim to build a
sustainable and profitable business model by adapting and scaling production to
meet the needs of the market. Expansion plans and the route network will be
adjusted continuously depending on the pandemic situation.
Load factor in October was 61 %, indicating that the demand in the market is
slowly improving, and that Flyr has managed to position our product well in the
market.
The airline is currently operating four aircraft on domestic routes in Norway
and European routes, primarily to leisure destinations. The company plans to
have five aircraft in operation by the end of the year, with the ambition to
increase the production capacity to 12 - 18 aircraft at year end 2022.
The company is well positioned to develop in line with plans. Going forward we
will ensure flexible and cost-efficient deployment of operations, targeting 38
FTE per aircraft and a CASK ex. fuel of NOK 0,41 - 0,43 in 2H 2022.
