Northwest disappears

NORTHWEST AIRLINES will disappear as an entity over the next three months.  Whilst it was taken over by Delta in 2008 the name Northwest continued via its web site, boarding passes and some aircraft.  The Detroit incident on Christmas Day shows an aircraft in Delta colours although officially it was still Northwest.  Last week, however, the FAA gave its final approval that the two airlines can now complete their integration and operate under a single operating certificate.  Founded in 1926 the airline has always traded under the same title although from the early sixties until 1989 it did use the title Northwest Orient. www.delta.com
