We are disappointed that members of AMFA have declined ratification of the company's latest contract proposal. A ratified agreement would have ended the mechanics' strike and allowed both parties to move forward.
"Northwest Airlines Corp." was a major United States airline founded in 1926 and absorbed into Delta Air Lines Inc. by a Delta Air Lines-Northwest Airlines merger/merger. Approved on October 29, 2008 in aviation/2008, the merger made Delta the largest airline in the world. Northwest continued to operate under its own name and brand until the integration of the carriers was completed on January 31, 2010 in aviation/2010.
Northwest was headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota/Eagan, Minnesota near Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. After World War II it became dominant in the trans-Pacific market with a hub in Tokyo, Japan (initially Haneda Airport, later Narita International Airport). After acquiring Republic Airlines (1979-1986)/Republic Airlines in 1986, Northwest also established major hubs at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and Memphis International Airport. In 1993 it began a strategic alliance with KLM and a jointly-coordinated European hub at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The Detroit and Minneapolis operations were retained as Delta hubs. However, the Memphis operation has been reduced from more than 300 to fewer than 40 flights a day.
