Norwegian Air boss casts doubt on Cork-New York

The boss of Norwegian Air has cast doubt on the possibility of a Cork to New York route, saying it is currently not feasible with the aircraft at hand.

Cork to Stewart International Airport in New York State had been scheduled to begin in 2018 following the launch of Cork to TF Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island this summer but that is currently looking unlikely, according to Bjørn Kjos.

Speaking in Dublin, Mr Kjos said the airline’s calculations regarding the runway length and the carrying of fuel and passengers meant Cork to New York was not possible at present.
