Northwest continues to operate its early-fall flight schedule despite a strike by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association. The airline has implemented its comprehensive operating plan involving the use of experienced, licensed mechanics who are trained and prepared to safely and professionally maintain aircraft, according to Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

On Tuesday, August 23, 99.5% of all NWA passengers confirmed on the airline's domestic and international flights completed their travel to their final destination. Those who did not complete travel that day were able to be reaccommodated on Wednesday.

We will follow our existing policy of accommodating customers in the event of flight disruptions. Examples include the rebooking of passengers to other Northwest flights, waiving of fare rules, allowing the refund of non-refundable tickets, and in some cases, re-booking passengers on other airlines' flights.

Northwest customers may check flight status, reconfirm travel plans and provide their telephone number, cell phone number or email address so that we can contact them in the event of a change in travel plans. Visit the airline's web site, www.nwa.com or call the NWA flight information line at (800) 441-1818.
