/PRNewswire/ -- In response to Delta Air Lines' and Northwest
Airlines' filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the global
airline alliance SkyTeam, of which both are members, issued the
following statement: Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines have
been integral members of SkyTeam since joining the alliance in 2000
and 2004 respectively, and play key roles in the alliance's global
offerings. The U.S. is one of the world's most important business
travel markets and an attractive tourist destination for global
travelers, and the SkyTeam alliance will continue to operate
"business as usual." While Delta and Northwest continue their
restructuring efforts they will remain full members of SkyTeam,
maintain all alliance agreements currently in place and continue to
offer SkyTeam passengers the high level of service they expect from
our quality, customer-focused member airlines. SkyTeam customers
will continue to benefit from the SkyTeam alliance's promise of
"Caring More About You", including the ability to collect and
redeem Delta and Northwest frequent flyer miles and to access
airport lounges around the world. All Delta and Northwest
codeshares with other SkyTeam carriers will continue to operate.
