Documented cause
Flyr launched in 2020 to fill domestic Norwegian routes vacated by Norwegian Air Shuttle. The airline went public in 2021 but was immediately hit by jet fuel inflation following the Ukraine war. With no hedging strategy and rising competition, the airline filed for bankruptcy in October 2022 after just two years.
Lesson
“New entrant airlines need at least 18 months of fuel cost hedging before operating — commodity exposure kills before the brand can build loyalty.”
