Irish public give support to Cork-Boston flight link

There is overwhelming public support for Norwegian Airlines’ plans to launch low-cost transatlantic flights from Cork Airport.

A survey of 1,000 Irish adults was conducted, as a final decision on the airline’s foreign-carrier permit application is still awaited from the US Department of Transportation (DoT).

Bosses at Norwegian, and at Cork Airport, last night urged the DoT to decide as soon as possible. Their call comes ahead of a gathering of global aviation leaders, for the AGM of the International Air Transport Association and the World Air Transport Summit, in Dublin, today.
