A few airports in the Midwest are Airlink monopolies: INL, PLN, STC, etc. I don't think NW mainline has exclusive service anywhere.

If you look at an old North Central schedule from say the early 1970s, you'll find they had three flights a day with DC9's and I think they're still flying 9's in and out of there three times a day !

Ah, you're right. NW and Airlink are the only passenger carriers at GFK (Grand Forks, ND) as well...

Let me add that it feels like NW is the only carrier operating out of MSP.

Used to be a only carrier @ LAF
and now............. none.
Maybe daily single Sabb flight to DTW or MSP would be nice,
or at least 14567, X23

I believe NW is the only scheduled carrier at YKF (at least until May 14th when WestJet begins service to Calgary).

OP, this seems like a bit of an odd/obscure question to me.
Is there anything further you're looking for? FTers are a resourceful bunch and can probably tell you (or try to help you find) whatever it is you're really looking for, if there is something beyond the original question.

They are alos the only one going to TUP, tupelo, MS. Delta does code share on that flight.
