Let fellow travelers know where your aviation loyalty lands. This Northwest Orient Airlines car magnet honors the airline’s memorable 1947 to 1986 name and its evolution from early mail routes into a major northern and trans-Pacific carrier. Display it on the road, at home, or on a collector surface as a nod to the Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, Memphis, Seattle, Anchorage, and Tokyo story that made Northwest a lasting favorite among airline historians.
Northwest Airlines began as Northwest Airways on September 1, 1926, founded by Colonel Lewis Brittin and originally based in Detroit, Michigan. Its early work centered on U.S. Post Office mail flying, with passenger service beginning in 1927 and international service to Winnipeg beginning in 1928. Renamed Northwest Airlines in 1934, it developed a northern transcontinental route linking Chicago, Minneapolis and Seattle. After World War II, its experience flying routes to Alaska helped establish a major trans-Pacific role. On July 15, 1947, it began direct U.S.-Japan service via its Great Circle route and adopted Northwest Orient Airlines branding from 1947 to 1986. Northwest merged with Minneapolis-St. Paul-based Republic Airlines on October 1, 1986, adding hubs at Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis-St. Paul. A strategic alliance with KLM began in 1993. Northwest and Delta Air Lines announced their merger in 2008; Delta retained its name and branding, ended use of the Northwest name for flights on January 31, 2010, and became the successor carrier.
