Northwest Orient

Northwest Orient was the name used by Northwest Airlines, the Minnesota-based U.S. carrier that added “Orient” to its identity to stress its flights across the Pacific to Asia. Northwest was later absorbed into Delta Air Lines.The name and lettering recall a time when long Pacific crossings were a bold adventure, and the airline’s red-tailed aircraft were a familiar sight at airports on both sides of the ocean.Browse our fan-made Northwest Orient watches, t-shirts and travel gear below.
