Norwegian Air flights between Ireland and North America discontinued

Norwegian Air has discontinued flights from Ireland to North America.

The airline said that the move will effect "several thousand customers". The routes went from Dublin, Cork and Shannon, beginning in July 2017.

In September 2018, the airline pulled flights from Belfast International Airport to New York and Boston.

Matthew Wood, SVP Long-Haul Commercial at Norwegian said: "Since March, we have tirelessly sought to minimise the impact on our customers by hiring replacement aircraft to operate services between Ireland and North America.

"However, as the return to service date for the 737 MAX remains uncertain, this solution is unsustainable."

He added: “We have concluded that these routes are no longer commercially viable.” The flights will stop on September 15.
