Norwegian Air’s Ireland-US flights licence challenged by unions
Unions representing more than 100,000 airline workers are challenging the US govt’s decision to give a licence to Norwegian Air International that will allow it to fly from Cork and Shannon to Boston and New York. Washington’s DoT recently announced that it would permit Norwegian to fly to the US, paving the way for it to offer cheap transatlantic flights, including long-awaited services from Cork and Shannon. A number of trade unions which originally opposed Norwegian’s application for a foreign carrier’s permit have petitioned the US court of appeals to review the decision in a bid to have it reversed. The unions represent about 100,000 workers mostly in airlines and transport. They include the AFL-CIO, Airline Pilots’ Association, Association of Flight Attendants, and the Allied Pilots’ Association. <br/>
