August 20th
Statement From Northwest Airlines

Northwest Airlines (NASDAQ: NWAC) today said that it plans to operate its normal schedule despite the failure to reach a consensual agreement with the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA).

Because of the failure to reach an agreement with AMFA leadership prior to the midnight (EDT), August 20 deadline, Northwest has implemented new terms and conditions for its mechanics as permitted by the federal Railway Labor Act.

As always, Northwest customers can check on the status of their flights by utilizing the airline's web site, www.nwa.com or by calling the NWA flight information line at (800) 441-1818.

Northwest Airlines is the world's fourth largest airline with hubs at Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, Tokyo and Amsterdam, and approximately 1,600 daily departures.
