Norwegian Air's Cork to US flights are still on course

Norwegian Air says that it remains fully committed to starting Cork flights to the US in July despite its share price dropping sharply on the back of rising costs for its expanding transatlantic fleet.

Shares fell more than 6% following Norwegian’s warning that costs were rising faster than expected as it expands worldwide.

The airline is building up its transatlantic operations, has up to 29 Dreamliners on order from Boeing for €17bn and is considering ordering more.
