The purchase is in accordance with the Airline Service Agreement between Pinnacle and Northwest agreed to a year ago. “This is the last step in the process of becoming independent that began with our IPO in 2003, and well-positions us to take advantage of future opportunities” said Philip H. Trenary, Pinnacle’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Pinnacle’s contract with Northwest runs through 2017.
