Celebrate a landmark chapter in airline history with a Northwest Orient Airlines ornament. The design looks back to the name carried by Northwest from 1947 through 1986, when the airline’s Pacific identity was central to its story. From 1926 mail flying to direct U.S.-Japan service and later connections through Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, Memphis, and Tokyo, Northwest left a route map worth remembering. Hang it as a seasonal keepsake or display it year-round with an aviation collection.
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.
