Norwegian has announced that it is to double its service between Dublin and Stewart International Airport (I’m sorry – New York Stewart International Airport), with the service due to go twice daily.

The service double-daily will go 26th April 2018, with the following timetable, introducing an early morning/early return service.

Stewart, New York State to Dublin Airport

Lead-in pricing starts at €120 each way. The service will be run with 189 seater Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in a single class.
Transfer buses will meet the planes on arrival, along with a shuttle service between the Stewart International Airport to the Woodbury Common Premium Outlet centre, with shuttles time to meet arrivals and departures – making it possible to do a long haul day trip to the shops if you want.
On the commercial launch,Thomas Ramdahl, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian said:
“More than 130,000 passengers have flown Norwegian between Ireland and the USA since flights commenced last July, and today marks our continued expansion by introducing twice-daily Dublin-New York flights.
“With strong demand from Irish holidaymakers and business travellers for our high-quality flights in brand new aircraft, it was naturally our next move to increase capacity in Ireland even further.
“Not only are Irish passengers benefitting from more flights to the USA, but we’re also making it easier for Americans to access Ireland and beyond at much better value.”
Vincent Harrison, Managing Director at Dublin Airport is happy, stating
“We are delighted to see Norwegian expand its services from Dublin Airport to Stewart International New York after just a year. The move to a double daily service provides further choice and flexibility for both business and leisure passengers and is testament to the popularity of the route. We wish Norwegian continued success with this route and its other services at Dublin Airport.
Seats are on sale for those who want to head to Stewart International, and utilise the route.
For the airline to take a service double daily (as well as increasing its Shannon to Stewart service to three times a week), hopefully Norwegian is generating the revenue and demand to operate the increased services
