Northwest Airlines has announced an expansion of its transatlantic route network with three new daily flights from London Heathrow to Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Seattle next spring.
Northwest, which has a partnership agreement with Dutch giant KLM, is taking advantage of the new Open Skies deal lifting restrictions on the number of airlines allowed to operate US flights from the European Union.
Northwest chief executive, Doug Steenland, said: “Our Detroit and Minneapolis/St Paul hubs are the most efficient and uncongested connecting airports in the US and, together with our Seattle gateway, will link Heathrow to every point in America.”
In addition to the London Heathrow service, Northwest will also continue to operate daily flights from London Gatwick to Detroit.
