U.S. regs may delay Norwegian's Cork-Boston route

 

Norwegian's Chief Executive, BjØrn Kjos, said  they may have to push back NAS 2.14 %    its May, 2016  scheduled service, on its subsidiary airline,  from Cork, Ireland to Boston all the way to next year because they don't have the US's approval for those flights still.

Norwegian Air Shuttle has been limited to flying direct from Scandinavia to the US. They set up a EU subsidiary in Ireland that will allow them to fly to London and other cities. They have been held up though getting a foreign carrier permit  by the US Department of Transportation .

Norwegian Air Shuttle got their EU flight license approved for their Irish subsidiary airline ,Norwegian International ,in Feb. 2014. Under the Open Skies agreement, they should be allowed to fly between EU countries and the US. How the DOT is justifying taking over two years to approve their foreign carrier permit, when it normally takes a month, I don't know.
