Enda Kenny to raise issue of Cork-US flights with Barack Obama
Mr Kenny was responding to questions from Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, and Cork TDs Mick Barry and Jim Daly in the Dáil over the delay by the US Department of Transportation (DoT) in making a final decision on Norwegian Air International’s (NAI) application for a foreign carrier permit.
The DoT issued tentative approval in April for Dublin-based NAI’s licence, which would allow it to operate Cork to Boston flights under the terms of the EU-US Open Skies deal. The Irish subsidiary of low-fares giant Norwegian also plans to launch a Cork New York service.
