Transatlantic flights ‘here to stay’ vows boss
Tore Jenssen, the CE of Norwegian Air International which has launched a raft of low-fares transatlantic flights from Ireland — including Cork Airport’s first scheduled direct service to the US — has given a “personal guarantee” that they are “here to stay”. Jenssen was speaking Saturday at the take-off of NAI’s inaugural flight from Cork to TF Green in Providence, 90-minutes south of Boston. “We have been waiting more than 3 years for this,” Jenssen said. NAI will operate the Cork-Providence service 3 times a week, year round. Also Saturday, it launched a daily service from Dublin to Stewart International in New York state. Jenssen said they have already sold 150,000 tickets on the flights out of Ireland. After an aircraft delivery delay, NAI has been forced to use Boeing 737-800s on the new routes. <br/>
