The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has made a tentative decision to grant a foreign air carrier permit to Ireland-based Norwegian Air International (NAI), despite opposition by airlines and labor groups on both sides of the Atlantic. The department issued its finding to approve NAI’s application on April 15; the order gives objectors three weeks to respond.
