Obama urged to block licence granting Cork-US flights

President Barack Obama has been asked to block the granting of a licence for the first Cork-US flights.

Four Congressmen are already trying to introduce legislation to block the permit.

Now, 32 US Congressmen have now written to Mr Obama urging his administration to reconsider the US Department of Transportation’s (DoT) tentative decision to grant a foreign carrier permit to Irish-based airline, Norwegian Air International (NAI).
