bookings and demand for air travel was steadily increasing, and the number of
guests during the quarter has been increasing, with record high number of guests
in March.
A total of 164,180 guests travelled with Flyr in the quarter, which was a
decrease of 6% from fourth quarter. Load factor for the quarter was 58.4% vs.

March. Total ASK in April was 224.6 million and the load factor was 61.6% with a

was NOK -143.3 million, and the net proceeds from the completion of the rights
issue in January was NOK 242 million.
