Compass Airlines Begins Charting Its Course

NWA Subsidiary Starts IAD-MSP Service

After a somewhat rocky gestation period, on Wednesday the first flight operating under the Compass Airlines banner carried 43 passengers from Washington Dulles International to Minneapolis... and did so two minutes ahead of schedule.

As Aero-News reported, Compass is a wholly-owned regional subsidiary of Northwest Airlines. The carrier, which will operate under the Northwest Airlink banner, currently flies a single 50-seat CRJ-200. The airline received operating certification from the FAA in April.

The airline has plans to add 36 Embraer EMB-175 jets to its fleet; the first 10 of those 76-seat airliners should be running by the end of the year.

Compass is one of three regional airlines operating for Northwest. Earlier this year, the Eagan, MN-based mainline carrier bought out Mesaba Aviation. Pinnacle Airlines also flies regional flights for Northwest.

For the moment, Compass runs twice-daily flights between IAD and MSP.
