Pawlenty Had Closed-Door Meeting With NWA, Delta

ST. PAUL (AP) ― Gov. Tim Pawlenty met with the chief executives of Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines to talk about how their combination will affect Minnesota.

Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung says the governor told Northwest's Doug Steenland and Delta's Richard Anderson on Thursday that he expects them to honor the commitments Northwest made to Minnesota to get $445 million worth of loans and lease breaks.

McClung said they didn't get into the specifics of Northwest's commitment to keep its headquarters in Minnesota and what kind of executive offices might operate in the state.

The combined airline's headquarters will be in Atlanta.
