“This seasonal service will provide a convenient way for our customers

“Speaking on behalf of the government and people of Bermuda, it gives me
great pleasure to welcome back Northwest Airlines to Bermuda,” said the

and tourism. “We are delighted that Northwest Airlines will offer new,
nonstop Detroit-Bermuda service this summer, which will help make Bermuda
a convenient and appealing international destination in the ‘Motor City’
region and beyond on Northwest’s excellent network of convenient
connections at Detroit.”

The new flights will be operated with Northwest’s Airbus A320 aircraft,
