The new structure better positions the company to adapt to the weakening global economy. The new airline, called Delta Air Lines and headquartered in Atlanta, now flies to 375 cites worldwide and has a combined workforce of 75,000 employees worldwide.
Delta will maintain all its hubs at Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York-JFK, Salt Lake City, and Tokyo-Narita.
The Delta-Northwest merger will occur through an integration process over the next 12-24 months. Delta says customers should continue to check in and do business directly with the airline operating their flight just as they did before the merger. Delta will continue operation of the airlines’ separate web sites, as well as the two airlines’ reservation systems and loyalty programs.
Delta closed the merger after receiving notice from the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) that it would not challenge the merger after reviewing its competitive impact. Earlier this year, the merger also received clearance from the European Commission.
