Northwest Responds to Media Inquiries Concerning Reported Delta Fare Initiative EAGAN, Minn., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In response to numerous requests from the news media for comments on the reported Delta Air Lines fare initiative, Northwest released the following statement today: "Although any analysis of the effects of the reported Delta fare initiative depends upon the details of Delta's proposal, if it occurs, Northwest believes that 'fare simplifications' of the sort being described are revenue negative. Northwest expects that such an initiative, if it becomes general, would immediately adversely and significantly affect industry revenues." Northwest Airlines (NASDAQ:NWAC) is the world's fourth largest airline with hubs at Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, Tokyo, and Amsterdam, and approximately 1,500 daily departures.
