Low-fare Ireland-US flights to be announced within weeks

Budget airline Norwegian is expected to announce low-fares US flights from four Irish airports within weeks.

The news emerged ahead of today’s deadline for any move by US president Donald Trump to revoke the foreign carrier permit granted to its Irish subsidiary, Norwegian Air International (NAI), to fly between Ireland and the US.

The NAI permit was finally approved by the US Department of Transportation (DoT) on December 2 following a two-and-a-half-year wait — the longest pending application of its kind.
