Shane Ross rules out US border clearance for Cork Airport

Transport Minister Shane Ross has ruled out providing US pre-clearance facilities at Cork Airport for people who want to board transatlantic flights.

The minister said there is no business case for such a service, although US border pre-clearance facilities are in place in both Dublin and Shannon airports.

Norwegian Airlines has announced it will fly from Cork, Dublin, and Shannon to non-hub airports in New York and Boston, starting from July 1.
