Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA said it has chosen the first two U.S. bases for the trans-Atlantic flights it plans to introduce later this year using Boeing Co. 737 single-aisle planes.

The discount airline will serve one airport north of New York City and another south of Boston, Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Kjos said Wednesday at a briefing in Brussels. He declined to name the bases since Federal Aviation Administration approvals are still required.
