Norwegian to increase Transatlantic flights to Ireland from North America by over 35% in summer 2019.
Norwegian, the World’s Best Low-Cost Long-Haul Airline and Airline of the Year 2017, continues its growth in Ireland by announcing its new expanded 2019 summer schedule with 37% more weekly departures from the United States and Canada.
The airline currently operates flights from Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports to New York Stewart International Airport and Providence’s TF-Green Airport in Rhode Island. Last month, Norwegian also announced upcoming service from Hamilton/Toronto to Dublin, commencing March 31, 2019.
All flights between North America and Ireland are operated by brand-new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that feature up to 189 leather seats, which are currently being upgraded to a new slimline seat that will offer passengers enhanced comfort and greater space.
Norwegian’s increased 2019 summer schedule from Ireland has 40 weekly transatlantic departures and is now available to book for travel from 31 March 2019, as follows:
To Dublin – 28 transatlantic flights per week from:
Hamilton/Toronto – The brand-new daily service to Canada commences on 31 March 2019, and will mark the first direct flight between Hamilton and Dublin.

“We are excited to increase our transatlantic flights next summer to meet demand and continue expanding our presence in Ireland. The market presents a clear opportunity to deliver more high-quality flights at lower fares for consumers on both sides of the Atlantic,” said Thomas Ramdahl, Norwegian’s Chief Commercial Officer.
“Norwegian’s expansion continues in summer 2019 with the launch of our first transatlantic route from Canada, bolstering popular routes and maintaining much-needed direct transatlantic services to maximize choice and flexibility for Irish business and leisure customers,” added Ramdahl.
All customers on Norwegian’s transatlantic flights to the USA from Dublin and Shannon benefit from the U.S Preclearance facilities at each airport. Norwegian customers landing in the US will be treated as domestic passengers, allowing for a quicker transition through the airport upon arrival.
