Norwegian airline cleared for Ireland-US take-off
It is beginning to look like there is no going back for Norwegian Air International’s plans to fly from Cork and Shannon to the US. Over the weekend, the FAA cleared the airline, meaning that it now has both a foreign carrier’s permit from the DoT and the FAA. Ticket prices could be as low as E59, although it is unlikely that the airline will sell large numbers of seats at this rate. It is also thought that it will launch a Cork-Boston service first, following this with flights from Shannon, Belfast and possibly Dublin. It could begin New York services next year. Last week Norwegian confirmed that it has chosen Stewart Airport, about 60km north of New York city, as a base. Some reports say that its Boston services will land at TF Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, about 112km south of the Massachusetts city. <br/>
