Trump urged to block Norwegian Air’s Ireland-US flights
More than 100 US legislators have asked US president-elect Donald Trump to revoke a permit allowing Norwegian Air International to fly from Cork and Shannon to Boston. Washington’s DoT recently granted Norwegian Air International a foreign carrier’s permit, allowing it to fly between the EU and US, and paving the way for its proposed transatlantic services from Cork and Shannon. However, 108 congressmen and women – some with strong Irish connections – have written to Trump calling on him to use the US president’s power to revoke or suspend Norwegian’s permit as soon as he takes office later this month. The DoT’s order states that the president has 60 days to decide to overturn the decision to grant Norwegian Air International its foreign carrier’s permit. <br/>
