The airway market in the United States has been facing controversy recently. Recently, Norwegian Air International was approved to being able to fly in U.S. airways. This is being hit with massive backlash and has the potential to change the airways immensely. This is because NAI is based in Dublin, Ireland. In Dublin, costs of running the airline are much less stringent and give NAI a substantial advantage over U.S. airlines, which is the cause to all of the backlash. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
