Norwegian Air gives final response in US application

Norwegian Air International has made its final submissions on a licence application to the US authorities that will allow it offer transatlantic flights from Cork and Shannon. The US DoT recently gave the airline initial approval for a foreign carrier’s permit, allowing it to fly to the US from Europe, but said granting the licence depended on final submissions from all interested parties. The process closed Monday after the airline formally responded to the DoT which has begun considering all submissions ahead of making its final decision in coming weeks. Meanwhile, Norwegian Air Shuttle’s group CE, Bjorn Kjos, said Wednesday that its subsidiary may launch US flights from Edinburgh in Scotland next year. He named Boston, New York and San Francisco as possible destinations. <br/>
