MEP urges arbitration to force decision on US flights from Cork Airport

An Irish MEP has urged the European Commission to trigger legal arbitration against the US authorities in a bid to break the deadlock stalling the launch of transatlantic flights from Cork Airport, writes Eoin English.

Almost three months after the US Department of Transportation (DoT) granted tentative approval to Norwegian Air International’s (NAI) foreign carrier permit application, there is still no sign of a final decision.
