Norwegian Air confirmed today that they are bringing these routes back. It has been a long and draining road to get to this point but I am glad we stayed on them until they listened. Now we wait to see these planes actually take off from our airports again.

In August 2019 Norwegian Air International announced that they were stopping all Transatlantic services from Ireland, Dublin (DUB), Shannon (SNN) and Cork (ORK), To the USA , New York (SWF) and Boston (PVD) and Canada Toronto (YHM).
These services were a low-cost lifeline for many travellers to travel at an affordable fare across the Atlantic. With Norwegian leaving the routes, travellers will face high fares with little to no low-cost competition for the U.S. Carriers, and IAG owned airline Aer Lingus. The primary reason for the route closure was the grounding of the B737 Max aircraft. However, this is on track to be resolved by early 2020 at the latest , and is sure to be one of the safest aircraft in the world once approved to fly again.
This petition is being set up to ask Norwegian management to reconsider this decision and to reinstate the routes next summer when the B737 Max has returned.

The feedback I keep receiving underlines how much these affordable transatlantic routes meant to so many people. I have been spending my time reaching out to travel advocates and tracking the latest updates on the fleet status. It is slow going and the silence from the airline is frustrating but I am not dropping this.

I travel regularly to the Newburgh/Stewart by cancelling your route, my travel time of 15mins each way no means I've to factor in an additional 4 hours driving for my trips.
Very disappointed with the loss of the route to America, there is plenty of demand for Irish people to visit friends and relatives in the USA, was about to book return trip for 4, and disappointed I have cancel. Please reconsider your decision. Yours sincerely Billy Stack
Please reinstate this route. I travelled between Dublin and Newburgh 5 times last year. It is a lifeline to my daughter and granddaughter. Please reconsider. I tell everyone how wonderful Norwegian Airlines are.
Think Norwegian Airlines should rethink there plans. Closing bases across Ireland will have a huge impact and reduce choice of routes and destinations plus the loss of jobs pilots and cabin crew and ground staff at the various airports.
I’ve used them twice since they began operating from Cork to PVD. I only did so because of the really low fares. The staff were great and the plane very comfortable and clean. Got through emigration in PVD in under 10 mins both times. No bother. It would be a terrible shame and loss if this service is gone.
Please reinstate the return of flights to Ireland from ny
Used the flights before & would like to use them again

Flights from SWF are the great alternative to the increased aggravation of flying out of NYC airports. Every flight to Dublin has been full - that's two flights a day. Full. Even the recent larger planes carrying 390 passengers. Full. Makes no sense to cancel this route. COME BACK!!!
