I was surprised to see nothing in this article about the frequency of passenger complaints about Northwest. They seem to have consistently been one of the worst in such surveys, over several recent ears. While anecdotally, passengers often complain about airlines, the numerical size of these surveys, and the consistency of the results gives them more evidentiary value.
I live a couple of miles from Northwest's MSP hub, and not much further from their corporate headquarters. I was surprised to find no mention at all of their common nickname in the area: Northworst. It's common enough that an encyclopedic article ought to at least mention it. T-bonham ( talk) 07:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I know Northwest likes to think of AMS as a hub, but they are really beyond delusional about that and their poor classification should be corrected here. Six destinations, with the only possible connection being BOM, is not a hub (and shouldn't even be called a focus city). And yes, I realize that they have their enormous codesharing possibilities with KLM, but codeshare connections do not count as hub connections. AMS is a SkyTeam Hub, a KLM hub, or perhaps a NW-KLM hub, but not an NW hub. Hubs have to have multiple connections on their own metal with orchestrated banks and probably more than SIX FLIGHTS. NW can barely call NRT a hub - it's really pushing it, but since they have multiple flights designed for connections on their own metal...that might be fine.
And also, Milwaukee is down to a shockingly low six destinations. That should be downgraded from focus city status. Someone poopooed me for calling FLL a DL focus city, and look at that compared to NW at MKE! MKE, really?
HNL is tough. Probably not a focus city, but I'm impressed with Japan and the traffic they bring through there, so that may slide for now.
I'm pretty sure the claim "operates the oldest airline fleet in the world" isn't accurate. I'm pretty sure that Midwest Airlines planes (prior to their 717s they had almost entirely a fleet of 20+ year old planes) has older planes, and if we look at foreign carriers I'm positive there are some old planes flying (having myself flown on DC-3s in the third world...). We should fix this, but some hard numbers would be nice... Kaszeta 13:49, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Northwest Airlines fleet age average is 18 years ONLY because of it's VERY SMART move in keeping it's DC-9s. Otherwise it's fleet is only 9.7, one of the YOUNGEST in the WORLD! People who like to constantly harp about how OLD NWA's fleet is should note that NWA is also the MOST financially stable of the U.S. carriers.
Rhobite,read the article and much to your (If the DC9s are not counted, Northwest's average age would be 9.7 years. The average age of the DC9s was about 33 years.) disapointment the age is 9.7. Furthermore, your drunk flying information is clear vandelism and far from neutral, you have attempted to place NWA in a negative light. Unless you have definitive sources for the statement on the drunk flying I would be very careful about placing erroneous information about a corporation. You have placed MISINFORMATION on this article numerous times.Your biased attempt to place NWA in a negative light will not go un challenged. Use facts, stop the misinformation.
Is there a reason why you need to point out the percentage of traffic at MSP and not any other hub. Furthermore, Tokyo is a HUB for Northwest. The article noted in the run states 9.7. It is clear that you choose to point out selective negatives about NWA (sounds personal) I will continue to point out the positive.
Give me a break! Rhobite, every article you ref. about NWA, you worked OVERTIME focusing on the negative. The truth DOES hurt when NWA is the ONLY major airline stable (esp. if you hate'em) SW is NOT a major..the top 6 that fly the globe are considered majors. I like NWA and think it is in a FAR better position than the others. Too bad a bitter ex- employee or passenger needs to spend time trying to place it in a bad light. I didn't take 2 seconds to realize your intentions. You conviently left out the biggest part of the DC-9 article to focus on the OLD. That trash about the pilots flying drunk has NOTHING to do with it's operational stats. EVERY airline / company has a few dumb employees. Every other airline article on wiki is about the airline NOT it's rare dumb employee. Your passion to post that trash is nothing less than SPAM. Furthermore, you had better familiarize yourself with the 3 deletion rule. Lets see: NWA helped establish Japan airlines, Launched the 747-400, has acceted delivery of over 200 new aircraft since 2000, has the longest running history of profits of ANY airline prior to 1987, presently NWA has $2.4 Billion in cash TWICE what other airlines it's size or bigger have, NWA owns more of it's fleet than any other American airline, the "OLD" DC-9's were originally designed as millitary jets (built like tanks). Enjoy Rhobite...so much for the drunk pilot and the old planes.(sniker)But, I am sure you will feel, that we the public, would be more interested in your stupid dribble.
Kmcoy :"it seemed to me that blueflyer's additions/deletions almost read like marketing materials for the company" Kmcoy, I am rolling on the floor laughing! Was I a wee bit fed up...yeah. Sorry. I like the outfit. Great history, well run, global reach.
Flattering or Un-flattering that is in the eyes of the beholder. Rhobite preferred to include ONLY negative parts of an article and I preferred to do the opposite. Operational FACTS are hardly BIASED. Clearly, as much as I like NWA...it apears that Rhobite did not. Take ya pick. The information that I attempted to place in the article is the SAME info that is in EVERY OTHER airline article on here. Frankly, there is not that much differenc in 12.5 years and 18.3 when it comes to aircraft.. Most people might "get it". When someone focuses on "drunk pilots" "old planes" it can't be because this is an un biased view could it? As noted later, NWA is not the ONLY carrier this has happened to. Yet when one places the SAME info about NWA such as it's reputation for profits as a well run company...it's biased. Gotcha ya!-- Blueflyer 17:37, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Watch it! "Instead of throwing around these sorts of accusations and virtually pouting and stomping your feet". You wanna get personal" You wanna get personal you might get your feelings hurt. Who made you busy body queen to deciede what is biased and what is not. The article is fine now...as it is. It was NOT...the way it was. The information that I placed in the article was directly from the article that referenced the "old" planes. As well as NWA.com(history), Japan Airlines.com (history), NWA '04/ 10k. The article should be balanced in the SAME manner as all other airline articles...NONE of which rant about isolated employee behavior or how OLD a portion of it's fleet is.-- Blueflyer 21:13, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
"More ad hominem (and this time, disgustingly sexist) attacks" From a female named Blueflyer..back at ya sister. Keep your little "pouting and stomping your feet" comments out of a decent reply and perhaps you can be taken seriously. I don't care if it is NWA or SW or Continental, who cares about the behavior of a few employees? Should we make this a standard for ALL airlines? I fly many many airlines in this country and NWA by FAR is one of the best. If people don't like my view (backed up by the FACTS of the company's 10k) too bad. The SEC seems to approve of it.-- Blueflyer 21:58, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
It seems to me like the history Blueflyer is adding is valid for inclusion. It just needs to be paraphrased so it's not a cut and paste job. Katefan0 23:26, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
Re: Huaiwei: Format of Chinese airports shld be standardised
Hong Kong maintains its own economic policies, and reserves its capacity to come up with civil aviation agreements with other countries at its own. It is an independent member at aviation organisations.
Hong Kong is independent member at civil aviation organisations and airport council, and maintains its own economic policies. It comes up with bilateral aviation agreements at its own. Hong Kong-mainland China and Macau-mainland China flights are considered non-domestic (i.e. international) and reaches international but not domestic airports, such as Pudong but not Hongqiao at Shanghai. Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China should each have separate listings.
"The solution, then, is to add the drunk flying information to the other articles. Not to remove it from here. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, once you register for an account. · Katefan0(scribble" Whey is that a solution? When someone singles out entity (airline) to focus on someting NEGATIVE. I also notice that NO OTHER airline has mentioned the AGE of aircraft or "Aviation Incidents". Sure SOUNDS like a HUGE BIAS to me. I think this whole thing should be sent to the board, esp. how it has been handled, seems like pretty poor taste. This gives Wiki a bad name PERIOD!
I saw a request for comment in relation to an incident here. What's up with that? Also, why is the factual and neutrality of the article being disputed? -- Spinboy 19:26, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I mean, I love Delta, for example, and , that does not mean that I will remove info about their 1985 crash in Dallas! That was a fact, its part of the company's history. -- " Antonio Wonder Woman Martin" Where do you see that they posted 8.5? Are the issues with drunk pilots at OTHER airlines included in the sections? Rohobert you seem to be hung up on a "I hate NWA" trip. NO OTHER AIRLINE i.e. BA, AWA, UAL has mentioned the episodes of drunken pilots. Sounds personal to me. REMOVE IT!"But we have to teach rookie editors to try to be neutral" Take some of your amaturish advice and place the same info for ALL airlines and perhaps you would grasp the term NEUTRAL.
Rhobite, I have read many other articles on many other airlines on Wiki...THIS ONE by far smacks of an unbiased slant to negative. I think you ought to leave your personal issues out of the profile. I say Robite is a disgruntled passenger or crybaby ex employee. I AGREE with BLUEFLYER! It DOESN'T belong on here!!!!! There NEEDS to be a standard as to what catagories is included for ALL airlines, or industries. Peoples pesonal bias should not be used. Most of us could care less about the BS that Robite has put in here. It is not like Northwest is the ONLY airline that this has happened to. Northwest is not the ONLY airline that flies old airplanes. Wiki is losing it's appeal if this stuff starts to creep in.
Bravenav, that is your personal opinion http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/956622.stm, furthermore, America West has had two incidents that I can think of. Yet this is not mentioned in either airlines profiles. I wonder why a few on here have selected to point NW out when it has neither the most or worst incidents regarding this issue? Unless this is standard for all airlines, it sounds like disgruntled passengers wanting to insert something to make NW sound like it is the airline with the most incidents of intoxicated pilots.
When did Northwest drop the "Orient" from their name and revert back just to Northwest? I'd guess it was sometime in the late 1980s. If anyone knows, it would be useful information to have in this article. Moncrief 02:28, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
It followed the merger with
Republic Airlines. It's already mentioned in the article: In 1985, Northwest purchased Republic Airlines and adopted its three-hub network centered around Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis. Northwest returned to its original name with the merger. --

02:46, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Just to clarify the date, it was 1 October 1986. The article now has the correct info, and I think it would answer the questions about when Orient started and ended as part of the trade name -- never was more than that. Reward 08:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
Template:Worldperks has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Worldperks. Thank you.
These should be merged into the Northwest Airlines article. They aren't noteworthy enough to merit their own articles. Every major carrier has airport lounges and FF programs, but they don't have their own articles. The only reason the Admirals Club (AA) and AAdvantage have separate articles is because they were the first lounge and FFP, respectively. Likewise, Asia Miles and Aeroplan have articles because they evolved into more than simple frequent flyer programs. Dbinder 14:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Can we consider Las Vegas to be a Northwest focus city? I know they fly non-stop flights there from a number of non-hub cities, such as Des Moines, Madison, Fargo, Flint, Grand Rapids, Los Angeles, and Madison.
Why does Northwest no longer have nonstop flights between Detroit and Beijing/Shanghai? Bucs2004 16:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Maybe because of two reasons: Their 747's can't fly farther or high jet fuel prices
Northwest in pre- 9-11 times flew the route, but dropped it, favoring the route through Tokyo. They just applied and were denied the non-stop route in addition to the one through Tokyo.
Can someone edit this page to include information on the two regional jet orders nwa has placed. They've already received at least one plane that I know of. All the information in wikipedia on their regional jet fleets seems to be out of date - unless they only have one rj-200 at the moment.
Does anyone know when will NW's new subsdiary Compass Airlines will begin service? It keeps saying that it will begin service between Minneapolis/St. Paul and Washington-Dulles in June 2006 but I don't see anything in those airport articles. Bucs2004 18:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad they're replacing the DC-10, but then again, they need to replace those planes earlier. One of the plastic panelings inside the cabin of the DC-10 fell to the floor while taking off to increase altitude on the Flight 98 from Honolulu to MSP on July 2, 2006. There's alot of ducktape inside of the paneling and foam. It shows a sign of really old age. Spongefan 03:07, July 8 2006 (UTC)
Nothing is certain that the Embraers will replace the DC-9s - this simply is note know yet. It should be removed from the fleet chart.
I agree. Furthermore, where are the Avro jets and the Saab turboprops in the fleet list? Mattaudio 16:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
"It is the fourth largest US airline by domestic and international plus domestic kilometers flown." is cited, but the latter part of "Northwest is the world's fifth largest airline[1] in terms of RPK (revenue-passenger-kilometers)." remains uncited, due to the discrepancy. "Northwest Airlines is the world's fifth largest airline." "Northwest Airlines is the world's fourth largest airline" Without saying by what measure they're the xth largest airline. TransUtopian 14:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I replaced the SVG version of the logo with the previous PNG version. The SVG logo contains inaccuracies, and frankly looks too much different than the official logo. Notice the spacing of the "nwa", the different font in both lines of the text (you can see this clearly with the "a"), the thinner lines in the text of the SVG logo (clearly in the "w"), and the position of the "w" in relation to the circle. I don't know if SVG logos are supposed to exactly emulate the official logo, and I don't know if this version qualifies for fair use if it is an imitation of the official. But the two versions have major differences. Tinlinkin 20:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm hearing a couple of rumors from insiders that Delta Air Lines could soon merge with Northwest Airlines. If the merger happens, it will work since Delta doesn't really have an Asia network, Boeing 747s, or a hub outside of the US while NWA will have a New York hub, routes to Africa, and routes to South America. Both are in bankruptcy and combined forces would lead to a very powerful US airline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.69 ( talk • contribs)
Recently, Delta and Northwest made news that they could possibly merge with each other. If it happens (according to new reports), the combined airline will be called "Delta Air Lines" and it will retain its Atlanta hub. We'll just see if it happens.

Im a wiki newbie, sorry if my post is against the rules or anything. Im only 11 =(
Back on october 10th 2004, I was riding an a330 taking off from narito heading for san fransisco. One of the engines malfunctioned and we were forced to land back at narita.
When we landed, somewhere below the aircraft, the plane caught on fire. Firefighters were at the scence and later, I saw them spray pink water at the wheels. We were on the runway for more than 2 hours from what I recall. Noone was injured in the flight, although I do remember that a man sitting a few seats next to us started screaming at a flight attendant.
I posted this a week ago and you deleted my comment =(
please add this comment. i have no sources except my memory. I might have the flight ticket somewhere as well as a "we appologize for the inconvenience slip. I might be able to use a scanner to send it to you.

Due to the recent stranding of passengers by Jet Blue, it's appropriate to include a mention of Northwest's stranding of passengers in 1999. At that time, the stranding prompted a heated debate about passenger rights and even prompted the introduction of legislation in congress to that effect. Ultimately the carrier was sued under a legal theory of false imprisonment and ended up paying over $1 million to its passengers. Mention of the incident is both topical and contemporary. Jpetersen46321 17:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I comprehensively edit this page, and actually, I check this page more than any other for errors and not needed information. I don't think this should be added to the page because that was the past and Northwest Airlines IS NOT JetBlue. JetBlue made a mistake and its not their fault. If passengers would understand laws we have, then they would realize they are wrong asking for more than free roundtrip tickets and refunds. The FAA has no policy or law in place saying that their is a time limit on how long a plane can sit on a taxiway or runway. It takes up room on the page that does not need to be taken up.-- Golich17 21:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Jpetersen46321, I do not work for Northwest Airlines, rest assure. I don't believe that such information should be included into encyclopedic material. This add to the article was a result of a current event. This would have not been added if it wasn't for the JetBlue error. The name of the article does not seem true as I doubt it would be "False Imprisonment". It would be nice if I see a relevant source of your information other than the DOT cite. Using False Imprisonment as a title would be also biased, which Wikipedia is not.--

Why are we listing codes in the fleet table. A normal reader would not understand what those codes mean. This is not the official website, so just list the airplane model, rather than the exact plane.-- Golich17 17:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Is NWA still serving Rome? Many anon users keep removing it from the airline's destinations articles. Did they suspend the service or is it still seasonal? Bucs2004 04:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
There has been some discussion regarding the equivalent of World Business Class. It, in fact is, international business class, or ("J-class"), not international first class ("F-class"). Northwest does not operate First class on international routes; only two cabin flights. The only airlines based in the US that operate three-cabin aircraft are American Airlines and United Airlines; and thus NW's WBC product, which sometimes has over 60 seats, is a business class product; not first class. The qualification for being equivalent to First Class on an international route is for the airline to operate three cabins of service. Jendeyoung 02:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
WBC on NW and KL are certainly not up to snuff to the modern International F products out there. That being said, just changing "first" to "business" isn't helpful. It basically says that world business class is business class. That's a bit redundant. I think we need to point out that WBC is the best product NW offers. We need to capture the fact that some domestic routes get WBC seats, but not the service (A330 MSP-HNL). I also think there should be a specific call out that WBC is much better than Domestic F. -anon
In connection with the first flight to Japan, the article says: "The flight originated at Wold-Chamberlain Field, St. Paul, Minnesota." Wrong. Wold-Chamberlain Field, now Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, is not in St. Paul, it's south of Minneapolis and east of Richfield on the west side of the Mississippi River. The airport in St. Paul long was called Holman Field, but now is known as St. Paul Downtown Airport. Sca 16:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I believe it is right to limit the size of the pictures, rather than allowing the users to select the sizes of the photos. I have been editing this article for some time now, and as time went on i've found, as well as others that the current sizes fit the article in a reasonable manner. I have never had such an issue come up regarding the sizes of the pictures. I definately dispute such actions and I do not believe they should be implemented into this specific article.-- Golich17 00:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Furthermore, the sizes of the pictures fit more in the article. For example, the logos for worldperks and worldclubs have been tailored so they looked similar in size and fit in a non-intrusive manner.-- Golich17 00:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me or does anyone else believe Northwest should retire the 747-400 for the Dreamliners. Maybe they should buy some 787-9's or Airbus A350-900's. To me that would be a smart and cost saving idea for them... especially since now they will not be serving the Shanghai route with it!-- Golich17 23:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Once again, I do not think it is right to remove the picture sizes. If we were to remove the picture sizes however, I believe logos and other types of pictures should be limited by size. Maybe we can come to a compromise.-- Golich17 02:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Are there currently any nonstop or direct flights from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Ottawa?

I made an edit to this table that was subsequently reverted, citing that there was nothing wrong with the status quo. However, apparently nwa uses the 744 on routes such as Tokyo-Shanghai, Tokyo-Hong Kong, Tokyo-Honolulu, and of course the transpacific routes of Detroit-Tokyo and Minneapolis/St. Paul. As for the removal of spacing, they add unnecessary bytes to the article, which is something that could be reserved for future additions of prose. 哦, 是吗?( User:O) 21:00, 30 November 2007 (GMT)
Took out outdated info about NWA starting an Australian route in 1991. NWA doesn't have flights there currently so it shouldn't be in the destination section. Perhaps in a history section.

According to a official NWA video I watched, Doug stated that there would be 48 WBC seats and 150 economy seats, which means 200 seats all together.

I found this off of
Merger FAQ:
Are Delta and Northwest one airline or two?
Delta has acquired 100 percent ownership of Northwest and is in the process of fully integrating Northwest into the Delta family. The Northwest brand is gradually being phased out and being replaced by Delta's name and brand. During the integration period, Delta and Northwest will continue to operate their own branded aircraft until the integration process is complete.
The answer didn't really say whether it was one or two airlines, but it is something to chew on. Also:
How can I verify which airline is operating my flight?
Customers seeking information on which carrier is operating a flight purchased from Delta or Northwest can check their flight itineraries at delta.com or nwa.com. You can also find this information on your boarding pass. The term "Operated by" indicates the airline that is actually operating or flying the flight. For example, if your boarding pass states "Operated by Delta Air Lines" you should check in with Delta at the airport and/or proceed to the Delta departure gate.
I can see why you could list it as DL operated by NW, but still don't think it should be listed that way.

13:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)I think that all of the NW Airlink flights should be changed to "Delta Connection" flights since the majority of the flights are announced as Delta Connection (the NWA Airlink brand no longer exists) but leave the mainline NW flights listed as "Northwest Airlines" with no "Delta operated by" since none of the NW flights do not have the "DL" flight designator. The only NW flights with only DL flight numbers are present are flights between the USA and Europe/Asia (e.g. ATL-NRT, ATL-FCO, ATL-AMS, ATL-LGW, JFK-FCO, etc.) Also, there are "Northwest operated by Delta" flights (e.g. JFK-NRT, DTW-PVG [from October 2009], DTW-LHR, MSP-LHR [from September 1], MSP-CDG, GUM-NRT, EWR-AMS-BOM, PDX-NRT, PDX-AMS) with only NW flight numbers but those flights are just in preparation for when they merge. But all of those flights are listed under the operating airline. Also, at airports most of the NW flights are still announced as "Northwest Airlines Flight XXX to XXX". Check-in, both airline's frequent flyer programs/websites are still operating seperately. Charmedaddict ( talk) 03:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
As Charmedaddict said below, I agree and believe that the change should be made when DL dissolves and redirects nwa.com to delta.com. Also, I might add that CO Mike doesn't have its own website, it shares CO's.

It appears (once again) that Northwest employees are actively involved in reverting uncomplimentary edits regarding the airline. A recent incident involving the stranding of another passenger airline attributable to Mesaba Airlines, a Northwest subsidiary is being improperly removed. Although this most recent incident involved a Continental Flight, the US Department of Transportation squarely pinned the blame for the 6 hour passenger stranding on Mesaba Airlines personnel. This article is both timely, topical, and sourced. Northwest employees should NOT be reverting these edits. 99.141.76.6 ( talk) 04:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I was surprised to see nothing in this article about the frequency of passenger complaints about Northwest. They seem to have consistently been one of the worst in such surveys, over several recent ears. While anecdotally, passengers often complain about airlines, the numerical size of these surveys, and the consistency of the results gives them more evidentiary value.
I live a couple of miles from Northwest's MSP hub, and not much further from their corporate headquarters. I was surprised to find no mention at all of their common nickname in the area: Northworst. It's common enough that an encyclopedic article ought to at least mention it. T-bonham ( talk) 07:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I know Northwest likes to think of AMS as a hub, but they are really beyond delusional about that and their poor classification should be corrected here. Six destinations, with the only possible connection being BOM, is not a hub (and shouldn't even be called a focus city). And yes, I realize that they have their enormous codesharing possibilities with KLM, but codeshare connections do not count as hub connections. AMS is a SkyTeam Hub, a KLM hub, or perhaps a NW-KLM hub, but not an NW hub. Hubs have to have multiple connections on their own metal with orchestrated banks and probably more than SIX FLIGHTS. NW can barely call NRT a hub - it's really pushing it, but since they have multiple flights designed for connections on their own metal...that might be fine.
And also, Milwaukee is down to a shockingly low six destinations. That should be downgraded from focus city status. Someone poopooed me for calling FLL a DL focus city, and look at that compared to NW at MKE! MKE, really?
HNL is tough. Probably not a focus city, but I'm impressed with Japan and the traffic they bring through there, so that may slide for now.
I'm pretty sure the claim "operates the oldest airline fleet in the world" isn't accurate. I'm pretty sure that Midwest Airlines planes (prior to their 717s they had almost entirely a fleet of 20+ year old planes) has older planes, and if we look at foreign carriers I'm positive there are some old planes flying (having myself flown on DC-3s in the third world...). We should fix this, but some hard numbers would be nice... Kaszeta 13:49, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Northwest Airlines fleet age average is 18 years ONLY because of it's VERY SMART move in keeping it's DC-9s. Otherwise it's fleet is only 9.7, one of the YOUNGEST in the WORLD! People who like to constantly harp about how OLD NWA's fleet is should note that NWA is also the MOST financially stable of the U.S. carriers.
Rhobite,read the article and much to your (If the DC9s are not counted, Northwest's average age would be 9.7 years. The average age of the DC9s was about 33 years.) disapointment the age is 9.7. Furthermore, your drunk flying information is clear vandelism and far from neutral, you have attempted to place NWA in a negative light. Unless you have definitive sources for the statement on the drunk flying I would be very careful about placing erroneous information about a corporation. You have placed MISINFORMATION on this article numerous times.Your biased attempt to place NWA in a negative light will not go un challenged. Use facts, stop the misinformation.
Is there a reason why you need to point out the percentage of traffic at MSP and not any other hub. Furthermore, Tokyo is a HUB for Northwest. The article noted in the run states 9.7. It is clear that you choose to point out selective negatives about NWA (sounds personal) I will continue to point out the positive.
Give me a break! Rhobite, every article you ref. about NWA, you worked OVERTIME focusing on the negative. The truth DOES hurt when NWA is the ONLY major airline stable (esp. if you hate'em) SW is NOT a major..the top 6 that fly the globe are considered majors. I like NWA and think it is in a FAR better position than the others. Too bad a bitter ex- employee or passenger needs to spend time trying to place it in a bad light. I didn't take 2 seconds to realize your intentions. You conviently left out the biggest part of the DC-9 article to focus on the OLD. That trash about the pilots flying drunk has NOTHING to do with it's operational stats. EVERY airline / company has a few dumb employees. Every other airline article on wiki is about the airline NOT it's rare dumb employee. Your passion to post that trash is nothing less than SPAM. Furthermore, you had better familiarize yourself with the 3 deletion rule. Lets see: NWA helped establish Japan airlines, Launched the 747-400, has acceted delivery of over 200 new aircraft since 2000, has the longest running history of profits of ANY airline prior to 1987, presently NWA has $2.4 Billion in cash TWICE what other airlines it's size or bigger have, NWA owns more of it's fleet than any other American airline, the "OLD" DC-9's were originally designed as millitary jets (built like tanks). Enjoy Rhobite...so much for the drunk pilot and the old planes.(sniker)But, I am sure you will feel, that we the public, would be more interested in your stupid dribble.
Kmcoy :"it seemed to me that blueflyer's additions/deletions almost read like marketing materials for the company" Kmcoy, I am rolling on the floor laughing! Was I a wee bit fed up...yeah. Sorry. I like the outfit. Great history, well run, global reach.
Flattering or Un-flattering that is in the eyes of the beholder. Rhobite preferred to include ONLY negative parts of an article and I preferred to do the opposite. Operational FACTS are hardly BIASED. Clearly, as much as I like NWA...it apears that Rhobite did not. Take ya pick. The information that I attempted to place in the article is the SAME info that is in EVERY OTHER airline article on here. Frankly, there is not that much differenc in 12.5 years and 18.3 when it comes to aircraft.. Most people might "get it". When someone focuses on "drunk pilots" "old planes" it can't be because this is an un biased view could it? As noted later, NWA is not the ONLY carrier this has happened to. Yet when one places the SAME info about NWA such as it's reputation for profits as a well run company...it's biased. Gotcha ya!-- Blueflyer 17:37, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Watch it! "Instead of throwing around these sorts of accusations and virtually pouting and stomping your feet". You wanna get personal" You wanna get personal you might get your feelings hurt. Who made you busy body queen to deciede what is biased and what is not. The article is fine now...as it is. It was NOT...the way it was. The information that I placed in the article was directly from the article that referenced the "old" planes. As well as NWA.com(history), Japan Airlines.com (history), NWA '04/ 10k. The article should be balanced in the SAME manner as all other airline articles...NONE of which rant about isolated employee behavior or how OLD a portion of it's fleet is.-- Blueflyer 21:13, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Keep your little "pouting and stomping your feet" comments out of a decent reply and perhaps you can be taken seriously. I don't care if it is NWA or SW or Continental, who cares about the behavior of a few employees? Should we make this a standard for ALL airlines? I fly many many airlines in this country and NWA by FAR is one of the best. If people don't like my view (backed up by the FACTS of the company's 10k) too bad.

Re: Huaiwei: Format of Chinese airports shld be standardised

Hong Kong is independent member at civil aviation organisations and airport council, and maintains its own economic policies. It comes up with bilateral aviation agreements at its own. Hong Kong-mainland China and Macau-mainland China flights are considered non-domestic (i.e. international) and reaches international but not domestic airports, such as Pudong but not Hongqiao at Shanghai.

Are the issues with drunk pilots at OTHER airlines included in the sections? Rohobert you seem to be hung up on a "I hate NWA" trip. NO OTHER AIRLINE i.e. BA, AWA, UAL has mentioned the episodes of drunken pilots. Sounds personal to me. REMOVE IT!"But we have to teach rookie editors to try to be neutral" Take some of your amaturish advice and place the same info for ALL airlines and perhaps you would grasp the term NEUTRAL.
Rhobite, I have read many other articles on many other airlines on Wiki...THIS ONE by far smacks of an unbiased slant to negative. I think you ought to leave your personal issues out of the profile. I say Robite is a disgruntled passenger or crybaby ex employee. I AGREE with BLUEFLYER! It DOESN'T belong on here!!!!! There NEEDS to be a standard as to what catagories is included for ALL airlines, or industries. Peoples pesonal bias should not be used. Most of us could care less about the BS that Robite has put in here. It is not like Northwest is the ONLY airline that this has happened to. Northwest is not the ONLY airline that flies old airplanes. Wiki is losing it's appeal if this stuff starts to creep in.
Bravenav, that is your personal opinion http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/956622.stm, furthermore, America West has had two incidents that I can think of. Yet this is not mentioned in either airlines profiles. I wonder why a few on here have selected to point NW out when it has neither the most or worst incidents regarding this issue? Unless this is standard for all airlines, it sounds like disgruntled passengers wanting to insert something to make NW sound like it is the airline with the most incidents of intoxicated pilots.
When did Northwest drop the "Orient" from their name and revert back just to Northwest? I'd guess it was sometime in the late 1980s. If anyone knows, it would be useful information to have in this article. Moncrief 02:28, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

These should be merged into the Northwest Airlines article. They aren't noteworthy enough to merit their own articles. Every major carrier has airport lounges and FF programs, but they don't have their own articles. The only reason the Admirals Club (AA) and AAdvantage have separate articles is because they were the first lounge and FFP, respectively. Likewise, Asia Miles and Aeroplan have articles because they evolved into more than simple frequent flyer programs. Dbinder 14:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Can we consider Las Vegas to be a Northwest focus city? I know they fly non-stop flights there from a number of non-hub cities, such as Des Moines, Madison, Fargo, Flint, Grand Rapids, Los Angeles, and Madison.
Why does Northwest no longer have nonstop flights between Detroit and Beijing/Shanghai? Bucs2004 16:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Maybe because of two reasons: Their 747's can't fly farther or high jet fuel prices
Northwest in pre- 9-11 times flew the route, but dropped it, favoring the route through Tokyo. They just applied and were denied the non-stop route in addition to the one through Tokyo.
Can someone edit this page to include information on the two regional jet orders nwa has placed. They've already received at least one plane that I know of. All the information in wikipedia on their regional jet fleets seems to be out of date - unless they only have one rj-200 at the moment.

I'm glad they're replacing the DC-10, but then again, they need to replace those planes earlier. One of the plastic panelings inside the cabin of the DC-10 fell to the floor while taking off to increase altitude on the Flight 98 from Honolulu to MSP on July 2, 2006. There's alot of ducktape inside of the paneling and foam. It shows a sign of really old age. Spongefan 03:07, July 8 2006 (UTC)

Notice the spacing of the "nwa", the different font in both lines of the text (you can see this clearly with the "a"), the thinner lines in the text of the SVG logo (clearly in the "w"), and the position of the "w" in relation to the circle. I don't know if SVG logos are supposed to exactly emulate the official logo, and I don't know if this version qualifies for fair use if it is an imitation of the official. But the two versions have major differences. Tinlinkin 20:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm hearing a couple of rumors from insiders that Delta Air Lines could soon merge with Northwest Airlines. If the merger happens, it will work since Delta doesn't really have an Asia network, Boeing 747s, or a hub outside of the US while NWA will have a New York hub, routes to Africa, and routes to South America. Both are in bankruptcy and combined forces would lead to a very powerful US airline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.69 ( talk • contribs)
Recently, Delta and Northwest made news that they could possibly merge with each other. If it happens (according to new reports), the combined airline will be called "Delta Air Lines" and it will retain its Atlanta hub. We'll just see if it happens.

Im a wiki newbie, sorry if my post is against the rules or anything. Im only 11 =(
Back on october 10th 2004, I was riding an a330 taking off from narito heading for san fransisco. One of the engines malfunctioned and we were forced to land back at narita.
When we landed, somewhere below the aircraft, the plane caught on fire. Firefighters were at the scence and later, I saw them spray pink water at the wheels. We were on the runway for more than 2 hours from what I recall. Noone was injured in the flight, although I do remember that a man sitting a few seats next to us started screaming at a flight attendant.
I posted this a week ago and you deleted my comment =(
please add this comment. i have no sources except my memory. I might have the flight ticket somewhere as well as a "we appologize for the inconvenience slip. I might be able to use a scanner to send it to you.

Due to the recent stranding of passengers by Jet Blue, it's appropriate to include a mention of Northwest's stranding of passengers in 1999. At that time, the stranding prompted a heated debate about passenger rights and even prompted the introduction of legislation in congress to that effect. Ultimately the carrier was sued under a legal theory of false imprisonment and ended up paying over $1 million to its passengers. Mention of the incident is both topical and contemporary. Jpetersen46321 17:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I comprehensively edit this page, and actually, I check this page more than any other for errors and not needed information. I don't think this should be added to the page because that was the past and Northwest Airlines IS NOT JetBlue. JetBlue made a mistake and its not their fault. If passengers would understand laws we have, then they would realize they are wrong asking for more than free roundtrip tickets and refunds. The FAA has no policy or law in place saying that their is a time limit on how long a plane can sit on a taxiway or runway. It takes up room on the page that does not need to be taken up.-- Golich17 21:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Jpetersen46321, I do not work for Northwest Airlines, rest assure. I don't believe that such information should be included into encyclopedic material. This add to the article was a result of a current event. This would have not been added if it wasn't for the JetBlue error. The name of the article does not seem true as I doubt it would be "False Imprisonment". It would be nice if I see a relevant source of your information other than the DOT cite. Using False Imprisonment as a title would be also biased, which Wikipedia is not.--

There has been some discussion regarding the equivalent of World Business Class. It, in fact is, international business class, or ("J-class"), not international first class ("F-class"). Northwest does not operate First class on international routes; only two cabin flights. The only airlines based in the US that operate three-cabin aircraft are American Airlines and United Airlines; and thus NW's WBC product, which sometimes has over 60 seats, is a business class product; not first class. The qualification for being equivalent to First Class on an international route is for the airline to operate three cabins of service. Jendeyoung 02:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
WBC on NW and KL are certainly not up to snuff to the modern International F products out there. That being said, just changing "first" to "business" isn't helpful. It basically says that world business class is business class. That's a bit redundant. I think we need to point out that WBC is the best product NW offers. We need to capture the fact that some domestic routes get WBC seats, but not the service (A330 MSP-HNL). I also think there should be a specific call out that WBC is much better than Domestic F. -anon
In connection with the first flight to Japan, the article says: "The flight originated at Wold-Chamberlain Field, St. Paul, Minnesota." Wrong. Wold-Chamberlain Field, now Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, is not in St. Paul, it's south of Minneapolis and east of Richfield on the west side of the Mississippi River. The airport in St. Paul long was called Holman Field, but now is known as St. Paul Downtown Airport. Sca 16:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I believe it is right to limit the size of the pictures, rather than allowing the users to select the sizes of the photos. I have been editing this article for some time now, and as time went on i've found, as well as others that the current sizes fit the article in a reasonable manner. I have never had such an issue come up regarding the sizes of the pictures. I definately dispute such actions and I do not believe they should be implemented into this specific article.-- Golich17 00:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Furthermore, the sizes of the pictures fit more in the article. For example, the logos for worldperks and worldclubs have been tailored so they looked similar in size and fit in a non-intrusive manner.-- Golich17 00:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me or does anyone else believe Northwest should retire the 747-400 for the Dreamliners. Maybe they should buy some 787-9's or Airbus A350-900's. To me that would be a smart and cost saving idea for them... especially since now they will not be serving the Shanghai route with it!-- Golich17 23:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Once again, I do not think it is right to remove the picture sizes. If we were to remove the picture sizes however, I believe logos and other types of pictures should be limited by size. Maybe we can come to a compromise.-- Golich17 02:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I made an edit to this table that was subsequently reverted, citing that there was nothing wrong with the status quo. However, apparently nwa uses the 744 on routes such as Tokyo-Shanghai, Tokyo-Hong Kong, Tokyo-Honolulu, and of course the transpacific routes of Detroit-Tokyo and Minneapolis/St. Paul. As for the removal of spacing, they add unnecessary bytes to the article, which is something that could be reserved for future additions of prose. 哦, 是吗?( User:O) 21:00, 30 November 2007 (GMT)
Took out outdated info about NWA starting an Australian route in 1991. NWA doesn't have flights there currently so it shouldn't be in the destination section. Perhaps in a history section.

I found this off of
Merger FAQ:
Are Delta and Northwest one airline or two?
Delta has acquired 100 percent ownership of Northwest and is in the process of fully integrating Northwest into the Delta family. The Northwest brand is gradually being phased out and being replaced by Delta's name and brand. During the integration period, Delta and Northwest will continue to operate their own branded aircraft until the integration process is complete.
The answer didn't really say whether it was one or two airlines, but it is something to chew on. Also:
How can I verify which airline is operating my flight?
Customers seeking information on which carrier is operating a flight purchased from Delta or Northwest can check their flight itineraries at delta.com or nwa.com. You can also find this information on your boarding pass. The term "Operated by" indicates the airline that is actually operating or flying the flight. For example, if your boarding pass states "Operated by Delta Air Lines" you should check in with Delta at the airport and/or proceed to the Delta departure gate.
I can see why you could list it as DL operated by NW, but still don't think it should be listed that way.

13:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)I think that all of the NW Airlink flights should be changed to "Delta Connection" flights since the majority of the flights are announced as Delta Connection (the NWA Airlink brand no longer exists) but leave the mainline NW flights listed as "Northwest Airlines" with no "Delta operated by" since none of the NW flights do not have the "DL" flight designator. The only NW flights with only DL flight numbers are present are flights between the USA and Europe/Asia (e.g. ATL-NRT, ATL-FCO, ATL-AMS, ATL-LGW, JFK-FCO, etc.) Also, there are "Northwest operated by Delta" flights (e.g. JFK-NRT, DTW-PVG [from October 2009], DTW-LHR, MSP-LHR [from September 1], MSP-CDG, GUM-NRT, EWR-AMS-BOM, PDX-NRT, PDX-AMS) with only NW flight numbers but those flights are just in preparation for when they merge. But all of those flights are listed under the operating airline. Also, at airports most of the NW flights are still announced as "Northwest Airlines Flight XXX to XXX". Check-in, both airline's frequent flyer programs/websites are still operating seperately. Charmedaddict ( talk) 03:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

It appears (once again) that Northwest employees are actively involved in reverting uncomplimentary edits regarding the airline. A recent incident involving the stranding of another passenger airline attributable to Mesaba Airlines, a Northwest subsidiary is being improperly removed. Although this most recent incident involved a Continental Flight, the US Department of Transportation squarely pinned the blame for the 6 hour passenger stranding on Mesaba Airlines personnel. This article is both timely, topical, and sourced. Northwest employees should NOT be reverting these edits. 99.141.76.6 ( talk) 04:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
