Fury as all Cork flights to US in jeopardy

Low-cost, long-haul airline Norwegian could face two inquiries into its decision to cancel winter flights from Cork and Shannon Airports to the US, just nine months after launching a year-round service.

It comes as the airline failed to guarantee the flights from Cork would return for the 2019 summer schedule, only saying it was “working to maintain” them.

Chief executive of Norwegian Bjørn Kjos must appear before the Oireachtas Transport Committee to explain why the airline scaled back the flights so soon, according to the leader of the Seanad.
