STATEMENT FROM BLUE GRASS AIRPORT REGARDING DELTA/NORTHWEST MERGER

October 30, 2008 – Blue Grass Airport would like to congratulate Delta and Northwest on yesterday’s Department of Justice approved merger announcement. With this merger, Blue Grass Airport customers will enjoy access to a premier global airline with a leading presence in the world’s major markets and a best-in-class loyalty program.

• The launch of a fully consolidated worldwide flight schedule in advance of summer 2009
• The introduction of elements of Delta’s brand throughout the Northwest system beginning in Spring 2009, including enhanced in-flight entertainment and other onboard amenities
