Norwegian airline will suspend US winter services from Shannon and Cork due to 'lower demand'

Norwegian will suspend flights from Cork and Shannon airports to Boston-Providence for the winter months “due to lower demand”. The carrier, which operates transatlantic services from Ireland through Dublin-based subsidiary Norwegian Air International, announced that it will suspend the services at the end of October. The airline has also decided to axe winter flights from Edinburgh to Providence. “The services will continue through October and we will continue to assess our transatlantic route performance as we confirm the route schedule for next summer,” a spokesman said. Shannon Airport MD Andrew Murphy said the suspension of the route to Providence was “disappointing but is in line with other Irish and international airports which have seen similar reductions”. <br/>
