Norwegian Air ramps up transatlantic fare war with 4 new routes
Norwegian Air Shuttle will start flying 4 new routes between the US and Europe, the carrier said Thursday, rapidly expanding its low-cost transatlantic flights and increasing pressure on established carriers. Starting next summer, Norwegian will operate flights to Amsterdam, Madrid and Milan from New York's John F. Kennedy International and Los Angeles International airports. These add up to 25 new US routes for Norwegian this year alone, and 11 more are already planned for 2018. Norwegian's rapid growth in the US market since being granted flying rights by the outgoing Obama administration in 2016 has rankled legacy carriers. They complain that it undermines wages and degrades working standards, but Norwegian has dismissed those claims. <br/>
