At all the northwest gates I see a KLM logo. Are KLM and northwest together? If so, do we get KLM in the merge too?

If Im not mistaken NW and KLM has always been partners. I think KLM was/is a Dutch airline they
partnered with. However, the gate logos are common to see together. Not sure on the merger
part though .

NW and KLM are skyteam so they probably share the terminal and such especially for people connecting from NW to KLM and vice versa

Also to note remember that KLM and Air France are one company now. so therefore we're all just one big happy family... (at least from the DVA perspective since we have the AFV side of the house smile

Prior to Air France buying out KLM in 2004, Northwest and KLM had a long standing history that started in late 1989. Around the early 90's the parnership was strengthened to the likes of what we see today with DL/AF and their joint Atlantic venture. In fact, NW and KLM sported a combined NW/KLM livery throughout the 90s.
