Cork’s US flight path under threat from anti-competitive practices

It appears the planned direct flights connecting Cork with New York and Boston are being put at risk due to a nasty bout of lobbying that unmasks an unedifying aspect of American culture.

This time, we cannot blame local or national politics, airport administration, or any regulatory hold-ups within Ireland.

Instead, it is patently clear that the plan by Norwegian to launch innovative flights from Cork are being banjaxed by plain old anti-competitive practices.
