Northwest Resumes Evening Schedule From Memphis Hub To 71 Destinations Tomorrow

6 June 2002

Northwest Airlines today reported that Friday will mark the first day of the resumption of its evening schedule of nonstop flights to 71 destinations from its Memphis hub. The flights, as previously announced, are being restored in response to increased customer demand.

As previously announced, the carrier is offering double WorldPerks frequent flier miles on all Northwest flights traveling to, from or through Memphis from June 7, 2002, until August 7, 2002.

“We are pleased to again offer our customers evening flight choices to dozens of destinations through our Memphis hub,” said Jim Cron, vice president of Market Planning and Airlinks. “We hope that the outpouring of support we have received from the greater Memphis community and customer demand for these flights will make this expanded schedule a commercial success.”

In October of 2001, Northwest eliminated the last schedule of flights from its three domestic hubs at Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Memphis as part of a general reduction in flying following a steep decline in travel demand. 

"Memphis is looking forward to utilizing Northwest’s evening schedule,” said Larry Cox, president of the Memphis and Shelby County Airport Authority. “The return of Northwest’s schedule of evening flights will make it easier to conduct one-day business trips from, to or through Memphis."

Northwest Airlines is the world's fourth largest airline with hubs at Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, Tokyo and Amsterdam and more than 1,400 daily departures. With its travel partners, Northwest serves nearly 750 cities in almost 120 countries on six continents.
