They inherited through Northwest airlines in 2010. Since then Delta has been the dominant carrier at the airport. They have cut routes such as Hong Kong and Osaka and added routes like Munich. Metro airport is Delta’s largest operation for A350 flights. My hometown airport for over 20 years.

This video was made a few weeks ago (you can tell from the route map) Daxing is delayed until April 30th due to the Coronavirus. Hope you enjoy!
I MISS SEEING THE DELTA 747S AT DTW
Great Video Ben. I was a Northwest Kid and The Delta Merger has been fantastic. I think that Minneapolis has more passengers, how im not sure. Detroit is a better Geographical location. Most Delta East Coast flights go to Dtw. Atl and Msp,, Delta is Pushing Seattle hard also.. And Haneda was a Great idea. Narita is very far from,the city
Nagoya Has been running an old Bird. the A330-200
I have only been to DTW one time on a flight to Europe, loved the layout. My home airport is MSY so most connections are to ATL, Great video Ben and I will see you in the next one.
First of all… Great video… loved it… I grew up flying out of DTW and I fly out of it quite a bit still… IMO it is the best "Mega" class airport in North America…
Ok, having said all that I have one correction and one supplementation about the video:
The McNamara Terminal is pronounced Mac-Nah-Mairah (yes Mac, like "the Big Mac" sandwich)… Edward McNamara was the Wayne Country Executive for many years (which back then included being CEO of DTW) and presided over the building of "Northwest's World Gateway Terminal" for which was named after him as a gold watch gift as he was about to go into retirement in February of 2002 which is when the McNamara opened…
I think I saw numbers of over 35.5 million passengers for DTW in 2018… I haven't seen any for 2019 but I highly doubt they will break DTW's best year of 2006 where they broke 36 million (which I still think was the greatest volume year for air passenger travel in the United States) … However, the major demographic you're missing when breaking down DTW's passengers is Ontario Canada which competes very well with Ohio for out of state flyer numbers… EVERYONE from London Ontario (which is the halfway point to Toronto, about 2 hours) flies out of DTW… So Windsor, Sarnia, London, etc, uses DTW and NOT Toronto Pearson… Even a large part of Torontonians use DTW but only for vacations and that's because on average a flight out of Pearson is twice as much than Detroit Metro and worth the 4 hour drive and a tank of gas…
Great video!
Great overview of Delta’s hub in Detroit. I wondered why Delta had a hub there. Thank you!
It is smart for Delta to have their Pacific operations in Detroit and Minneapolis. If a line is drawn from Austin Texas going North to South across the US 80% of the US population lives on the east side of the line. Not including states like Texas or Arkansas most places east of the line have the shortest route to Asia going through Minneapolis or Detroit. Texas doesn’t matter as much to Delta as United and American occupy the big cities.
I miss seeing NW at Detroit
Nobody is trying to b around your French n bs
This p of s thinks we are friends for some reason, their courts f me out of a law suit, can’t leave me alone, f me out of a company, friends don’t do that shit to each other.
