May 17, 2021 (newstodate): The new low-cost airline under formation in Norway, Flyr is readying to see its first Boeing 737-800 aircraft landing in Oslo Airport shortly.
   The company has so far leased two ex-Pegasus Boeing 737-800 aircraft from the UK aircraft leasing company Pembroke, with the first aircraft to back up the process for obtaining the AOC.
   Plans are to grow the fleet to eight leased Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the first phase, providing flights from Oslo to 12 destinations including five outside Norway, with Copenhagen on the list, and the airline has set July 1, 2021, as the date for its first flight on the route between Oslo and Tromso, in northern  Norway.
   In a second phase, the fleet will be increased to 20 aircraft serving a network of 23 destinations, now also including Stockholm; and in a phase 3 the fleet will contain up to 28-30 aircraft with flights also from Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim and serving a network adding flights also to the three Baltic states.
    Aviator Airport Alliance will provide Flyr with ground handling services at Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Tromso and Bodo, while Wideroe Ground Handling will be handling Flyr at Stavanger Evenes.
