Hey all,
Awhile back I had a thread about NW's longhaul fleet utilization. Now with the addition of quite a few new routes I thought I'd post an "updated" route/utilization synopsis. Keep in mind, this is only a rough summary of how the fleet is utilized as obviously the aircraft are constantly rotated around the system. But, it gives you a good idea.
757-200 (Atlantic):
1) DTW-AMS-DTW
2) DTW-DUS-DTW
3) DTW-LGW-DTW
4) BOS-AMS-BOS
5) BDL-AMS-BDL
6) EWR-AMS-EWR
7) EWR-AMS-EWR
8)
9)
10)
A330-200:
1) SEA-NRT-ICN
2) ICN-SEA-NRT
3) PDX-NRT-SIN
4) SIN-NRT-PDX
5) SFO-NRT-SFO
6) SEA-AMS-BOM
7) BOM-AMS-SEA
8) PDX-AMS-PDX
9) SEA-PEK
10) PEK-SEA
11) SEA-LHR-SEA
A330-300:
1) DTW-AMS-DTW
2) DTW-AMS-DTW
3) DTW-CDG-DTW
4) DTW-FRA-DTW
5) DTW-LHR-DTW
6) BOS-AMS-BOS
7) MEM-AMS-MEM
8) MSP-AMS-MSP
9) MSP-AMS-MSP
10) MSP-AMS-MSP
11) MSP-LHR-MSP
12) MSP-CDG-MSP
13) MSP-HNL-MSP
14) HNL-NRT-HNL
15) HNL-KIX-HNL
16) NRT-GUM-NRT
17) NRT-SPN-NRT
18) NRT-BKK-NRT
19) SEA-NRT-SEA (3x weekly)

747-400:
1) DTW-NRT-PVG
2) PVG-NRT-DTW
3) DTW-NRT-HNL
4) HNL-NRT-DTW
5) MSP-NRT-MNL
6) MNL-NRT-MSP
7) LAX-NRT-HKG
8) HKG-NRT-LAX
9) DTW-NGO-MNL
10) MNL-NGO-DTW
11) DTW-KIX-TPE
12) TPE-KIX-DTW
13) DTW-PVG (until 787)
14) PVG-DTW (until 787)
15) DTW-AMS-DTW (summer only)

With the new route introductions, it seems most the entire longhaul fleet is running at or near max capacity now, especially the A332's. It seems the only other routes they can realistically add are with 75A's, which somewhat limits them in options. Maybe MAN, DUB, or the resumption of BRU or the 2nd FRA.
All comments, observations, and corrections appreciated
