NORTHWEST BEGINS DAILY DETROIT SERVICE AT SGF

Springfield business travelers to Detroit and beyond will have another choice of flights by the end of October.

Northwest Airlines has announced daily jet service to and from Detroit, supplementing the weekend-only service it had been providing from Springfield-Branson Regional Airport. Northwest's Detroit hub offers extensive eastern seaboard and international connections.

The service opens a new route for the airline, which has been connecting Springfield to its Memphis hub via four flights a day. In response to nearly full capacities on this route, the airline recently upgraded to larger regional jets, but climbing passenger numbers have created the need for the new service. If the Detroit service is successful, the potential exists for Northwest to add more flights or larger planes.
