Lexington, KY – Northwest Airlines
and its Northwest Airlink affiliate, Mesaba Airlines, has
announced increased non-stop service between Lexington and
its Detroit hub from five to six daily flights, beginning
September 1, 2001.
“Our customers have asked for more flights
and more choice of service from Blue Grass Airport, “
said Michael Gobb, Executive Director of Blue Grass Airport.
“Since November 2000, the airline has more than doubled
its service from Lexington and it continues to receive praise
from our many business customers.”
The new service will be operated using the Saab
