Northwest Airlines, Inc.

Northwest seeks the authority requested so that it can provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail on Continental’s Newark-Lima-Santiago, Houston-Lima-Santa Cruz, Newark-Puerto Plata, and Newark-Belo Horizonte flights via Rio de Janeiro. Continental was recently awarded authority, without objection, to operate these flights. Northwest asks that the Department grant Northwest the requested exemption authority on an expedited basis to enable Northwest to seek foreign authority and engage in advance sales and marketing activities.
