The return of Norwegian Air flights from Cork and Shannon to the US east coast this summer remain in doubt as various US airlines signalled the Boeing 737 Max aircraft will not fly until at least mid-August.

Norwegian Air International, which flies to Providence, Rhode Island from Cork and Shannon, said passengers booked would continue to be "re-routed via Dublin until further notice" because of the worldwide grounding of the 737 Max following two fatal accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
