Let Norwegian Airlines In! Free Trade OPEN SKYS

Hello Fellow Travelers -

I would like to have your help in finding a way to let Norwegian Airlines offer great rates in the U.S. Market.

Congress is trying to block them as it would have a huge impact on airfare to/from Europe. Currently airfare is averaging between $1200 - $1600 round trip from US to most European cities. When Norwegian Airlines are allowed in, the rates would be cut in half, back down to the more reasonalble rates of $600 - $800 round trip as they were just a few years ago.

I know this would have a huge impact on the federal taxes that are collected for each ticket. As it stands now for an average ticket of $1300 nearly 50% of that ticket cost is TAXES. So this is why it will be so difficult to fight. All the people of the USA deserve the chance to fly off to Europe, not just the select few who can afford it. My college age children would love to go, but at $1300 - $1500 for just airfare it makes it nearly impossible. We need your support in removing the Block that Congress has against Norwegian.

Why is this important?

Hello Senator Franken,

Congress is trying to block them as it would have a huge impact on airfare to/from Europe. Currently airfare is averaging between $1200 - $1600 round trip from MSP to most EU cities. When Norwegian Airlines are allowed in, the rates would be cut in half. Back down to the more reasonable rates of $600 - $800 round trip as they were just a few years ago.
