Cork-New York flights: ‘We are still on course for take-off’

Norwegian Air boss Bjorn Kjos tells reporter Pádraig Hoare that Cork is strategically important and insists the airline has not abandoned plans for its Cork to New York route.

The naysayers are wrong, according to founder and chief executive of Norwegian Air Bjorn Kjos.

It is possible to make low-fare journeys from Europe to the US commercially viable, smaller airports are the future for passengers, and Cork is strategically one of the most important airports in Norwegian’s plans, he insists.
