Northwest Eyes China Route

Northwest, Continental, United, and American airlines all want to go to China.

The four airline carriers have been asking customers to sign petitions to show their support for a proposed route to China. Only one airline will be awarded the privilege, however, because the U.S. and Chinese governments have only agreed to add one route.

Northwest’s proposed service to Shanghai would be a nonstop flight from Detroit. Ninety-five other American cities — of course, one is Memphis — would connect to Detroit.
