Lack of preclearance ‘not an issue’ for Cork Airport

Passengers on Norwegian Airline’s new low-fares transatlantic flights from Ireland will be able to avail of US preclearance facilities at Dublin and Shannon airports. But Cork Airport said its lack of such facilities shouldn’t be an issue.

A spokesman said the airport in Providence, Boston, into which Norwegian will fly from Cork, will have minimum queues allowing passengers to clear customs and immigration quickly.

Norwegian will launch the flights in July from Dublin, Shannon and Cork to secondary airports on the east coast of America.
