Northwest Airlines to launch Second Daily Service between Detroit and Frankfurt

Northwest Airlines is to initiate a second daily roundtrip service between Detroit and Frankfurt during the coming peak summer season, beginning May 7 through October 27. This service will be operated by KLM and Northwest within the scope of their joint-venture agreement.

The second Detroit-Frankfurt service will be operated using Northwest’s Boeing 757 equipment in a special two-class transatlantic configuration. Northwest and KLM announced previously that under the terms of the joint venture they would be launching similar 757 services between Amsterdam and Hartford, between Detroit and Brussels, and between Detroit and Düsseldorf with effect from the forthcoming summer season.

Also within the scope of KLM and Northwest’s transatlantic expansion plan, flight frequencies will be increased on roundtrips between Amsterdam and Detroit, New York JFK, Boston, Los Angeles and Toronto. Capacity will be increased on the flights between Amsterdam and San Francisco.
