European Union Requests Meeting On Norwegian's DOT Application

EU 'Closely Watching' As Party To Open Skies Agreement

In what is being called an "unprecedented" move, the European Commission requested an urgent meeting between the European Union and the United States to discuss Norwegian Air International's pending application for a foreign air carrier permit before the U.S. Department of Transportation. The extraordinary meeting, which is being requested by the Commission on behalf of the European Union as a party to the U.S-EU Open Skies Agreement, sends a clear message that the European Union is closely watching Norwegian Air International's application, to fly to the U.S from several cities in Europe which has been pending for over eight months.

Norwegian Air International says it welcomes the European Union's action to protect the rights of European airlines under the U.S.-EU Open Skies Agreement, which obligates parties to grant operating authority "with minimum procedural delay." Asgeir Nyseth, CEO of Norwegian Air International, said, "We are confident that the Department of Transportation will do the right thing and grant our application without further delay."

Norwegian Air International's application has taken nearly four times as long as applications of other European carriers applying for the same authority. "We look forward to bringing new competitive and affordable fares on new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to the U.S.-Europe market," said Nyseth.

With over 300 U.S. based crew, and plans for a pilot base in New York, Norwegian says its new service will bolster the U.S. economy through increased tourism, jobs, and support of the nation's largest exporter, Boeing.
