Sep 17, 2021 (newstodate): The new Norwegian LCC Flyr is now taking a further step in building up its route network.
   Flyr has opened for booking on flights from Oslo to Copenhagen, Paris and Rome by mid-October 2021 - in all cases to capital airports, unlike other LCCs operating rather into secondary airports serving larger destinations.
   Flights on the route connecting Oslo and Copenhagen will launch on October 15 with two weekly rotations primarily appealing to leisure travelers on weekend stay-overs; flights to Rome will start on the same day, also with two weekly rotations, and one day earlier, on October 14, 2021, two weekly flights will commence to Paris.
   The expanded route network will probably require delivery of the airline's 4th Boeing 737-800 aircraft, earlier slated for delivery by mid-September.
   The carrier had been planning with three Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the fleet this summer, but the delivery scheme slipped; Flyr has been operating only two ex-Pegasus Boeing 737-800 aircraft from the UK aircraft leasing company Pembroke as the delivery of the third aircraft, slated for late July, run into sustained delays and only arrived on August 30, 2021.  
   Ambitions are to grow the fleet to eight leased Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the first phase, and in the second phase to 20 aircraft; in a phase 3, the fleet will contain up to 28-30 aircraft.
