Mesaba Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northwest Airlines
operating under the Northwest Airlink banner, announced today that it
has received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification
to operate the 76-seat Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet 900 (CRJ900).
"This is a very proud day for us," said John Spanjers, Mesaba
Airlines president and chief operating officer. "A special note of
thanks goes to our exceptional and dedicated employees - pilots,
flight attendants, maintenance technicians, and training personnel -
everyone who worked so diligently to make CRJ900 certification a
reality."
Mesaba took delivery of its first of 36 CRJ900 aircraft on May 24,
2007. The new dual-class aircraft will serve communities in the
Heartland of the U.S. and beyond from Northwest's Detroit,
Minneapolis/St. Paul and Memphis hubs. The airline expects the CRJ900
to begin revenue service on June 7, 2007.
"The CRJ900 regional jet will provide Northwest customers with
best-in-class comfort, including dual class service," said Neal Cohen,
Mesaba Airlines chairman, and Northwest Airlines executive vice
president and chief financial officer. "Customers will appreciate the
features and comfortable flight experience this aircraft provides."
The CRJ900 features 12 seats in first class, arranged in a one
seat-aisle-two seats configuration, and 64 seats in coach class,
arranged in a two seats-aisle-two seats configuration.
Mesaba, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northwest Airlines, operates
as a Northwest Airlink partner under service agreements with Northwest
Airlines. The airline serves 72 cities in the United States and Canada
from Northwest's three major hubs: Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul and
Memphis. Mesaba operates an advanced fleet of regional jet and
jet-prop aircraft, consisting of the 34 passenger Saab SF340 and the
50-passenger Canadair Regional jet. Mesaba will begin operating the
first of 36 76-passenger Bombardier CRJ900 regional jet aircraft in
June 2007. Further information can be found on Mesaba's Web site at
