‘Door remains open’ for Cork-New York flights

Low-fares airline Norwegian is insisting that the “door remains open” to a potential Cork-New York route.

The airline moved to allay concerns after its CEO, Bjorn Kjos, said the runway is too short to accommodate the take-off of a fully-laden New York-bound Boeing 737MAX aircraft.

Norwegian will use the aircraft on its Providence (Boston) route from July — Cork Airport’s first direct transatlantic service.
