Fate:
Merged with
Delta Airlines
Northwest Airlines Corp. (often abbreviated
NWA) was a major
United States airline founded in 1926 and absorbed into
Delta Air Lines Inc. by a merger.
Approved on
October 29, 2008, the merger made
Delta the largest airline in the world until the
American Airlines-US
Airways Merger on
December 9,
2013. The airline continued to operate under its own name and brand until the integration of the carriers was completed on January 31, 2010.
Northwest was headquartered in
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 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 21 flights a day.
Prior to its merger with Delta, Northwest was the world's sixth largest airline in terms of domestic and international scheduled passenger miles flown and the US's sixth largest airline in terms of domestic passenger miles flown. In addition to operating one of the largest domestic route networks in the
U.S., Northwest carried more passengers across the
Pacific Ocean (
5.1 million in 2004) than any other
U.S. carrier, and carried more domestic air cargo than any other American passenger airline.

The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (initially known as the
Douglas DC-9) is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner. It was first manufactured in 1965 with its maiden flight later that year. The
DC-9 was designed for frequent, short flights. The final DC-9 was delivered in
October 1982. The DC-9-based airliners,
MD-80,
MD-90 and
Boeing 717 later followed in production. With the final deliveries of the 717 in
2006, production of the DC-9/MD-80/90/717 aircraft family ceased after 41 years and over 2,400 units built.
The
Series 50 was the largest version of the DC-9 to enter airline service. It features an 8 ft 2 in (2.49 m) fuselage stretch and seats up to 139 passengers. It started revenue service in
August 1975 with
Eastern Airlines and included a number of detail improvements, a new cabin interior, and more powerful JT8D-15 or -17 engines in the 16,000 and 16,500 lbf (71 and 73 kN) class. McDonnell Douglas delivered 96, all as
Model -51. Some visual cues to distinguish this version from other DC-9 variants include side strakes or fins below the side cockpit windows and thrust reversers rotated about 22 degrees on the original configuration. However various maintenance replacements have seen the thrust reversers in the same position as the -30 and -40.
