BREAKING NEWS is a strike by mechanics (engineers) at Northwest Airlines, the number four US carrier, based in St Paul Minnesota with a very low profile operation in the UK flying daily from Gatwick to Detroit and Minneapolis. As of Sunday evening the airline has not been seriously affected by the walk out and in any event has brought forward its autumn (fall) schedule reducing flights by 17%. ABTN readers booked or likely to use Northwest over the next week or so should keep their eyes firmly focussed on the airline”s website.
