Just days following the Delta takeover of Northwest airlines was approved, It presented it's new management team. Will it all go smoothly, though this gigantic merger was approved quickly? there is lots at risk here, and it will take time.Airlines Northwest

More empty gates will bring less revenue to airports at a time once they require more, as the carriers combine gates at each airport they share. Some airport facilities, like snack bars or stores, will see less business. They could be closed, along with the jobs they provided. All small enterprises who depend on either carrier of most with their revenue could easily get a reduced slice, if any.
A Boeing 747, the largest airplane within the Northwest fleet, will be the first to become repainted in Delta colors.

What will happen with overlapping hubs? are they going to be downsized or shut down. The Northwest Memphis hub has always competed with Delta's fortress hub in Atlanta for southern traffic. The Northwest hub in Detroit competes with Delta's in Cincinnati for eastern traffic. Delta's western hub in Salt Lake is probably safe. Inside a surprise move, Delta announced new service from both Pittsburgh and Raleigh-Durham to Paris. This is welcome news in Pittsburgh, that had a big cutback by USAirways.
It could be the discount airlines who benefit, although fares will most likely increase where Delta has a monopoly. Southwest airlines, that features a long background of moving in when others cut back or move out, has announced it can start Chicago Midway to Minneapolis service in March of 2009, charging much lower fares than Northwest. And JetBlue had been kept out of Atlanta, that may change. Air Tran has been increasing service in Milwaukee, about halfway between the Northwest hubs of Detroit and Minneapolis.
