Norwegian Air has said it remains confident that authorities in the US will fully approve the operations of its flights between the UK and the US.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has said it needs more time to reach a decision on the foreign carrier’s permit to fly to the country.
Its routes will continue to operate under existing authority from the UK.
“While we think it is unfortunate that DOT feels the need to further delay issuance of our permit, which has been pending now for over six months, Norwegian Air International stands behind its business – from its pilots and cabin crew to its affordable fare model to its desire to bring competition to the transatlantic market – and looks forward to receiving approval to operate without further delay,” said Asgeir Nyseth, CEO of NAI.
Norwegian has received backing from the European Commission and Irish government for the application.
