Northwest Orient Airlines Metal Bottle Opener
Open a favorite drink with a tribute to Northwest Orient Airlines, the name associated with Northwest’s landmark Pacific chapter from 1947 through 1986. Its history reaches back to Northwest Airways in 1926, early airmail work, and the route that connected Minneapolis and Chicago before expanding west and across the Pacific. This metal bottle opener is an easy bar, kitchen, tailgate, or hangar addition for aviation collectors and longtime Northwest fans.
Northwest Airlines began on September 1, 1926, as Northwest Airways, founded by Colonel Lewis Brittin and originally based in Detroit, Michigan. Its early work centered on U.S. Post Office mail service, including a Minneapolis-Chicago route; passenger service began in 1927, followed by service to Winnipeg in 1928. After being selected for the Northern Transcontinental Route to Seattle in 1933, the company adopted the Northwest Airlines name in 1934 and incorporated in Minnesota. Postwar Pacific operations became central to its identity. On July 15, 1947, Northwest inaugurated direct U.S.-Japan service via Alaska, and it branded as Northwest Orient Airlines from 1947 to 1986. In 1986, Northwest merged with Minneapolis-St. Paul-based Republic Airlines, adding hubs in Detroit, Memphis, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. A 1993 alliance with KLM linked Northwest with Amsterdam Schiphol. Northwest merged with Delta Air Lines in 2008; Delta completed reservation-system integration and ended use of the Northwest name for flights on January 31, 2010.
