Norwegian to announce Cork/US flight details today

Details of the first direct transatlantic flights from Cork to the US will be unveiled today, with special one-way introductory offers of €69 expected.

Low-fares giant Norwegian refused to comment ahead of today’s announcement.

However, in a historic day for Cork Airport, Bjorn Kjos, the chief executive officer of Norwegian, is due at the airport this morning to announce the launch by its Irish subsidiary, Norwegian Air International (NAI), of a year-round three-flights-a-week service from Cork to TF Green Airport in Providence, New England, south of Boston.
