Douglas M. Steenland
President & Chief Executive Officer
Northwest Airlines Corporation

Douglas M. Steenland is president and chief executive officer of Northwest Airlines (NYSE: NWA). He was named CEO on October 1, 2004, and has served as the airline’s president since April 2001. He has served on Northwest’s Board of Directors since 2001. In his role as the president and chief executive officer, Steenland oversees the formulation and execution of the airline’s goals, objectives, and long-term strategic plans.

On April 12, 2008, Northwest and Delta announced a merger that will create America’s premier global airline. As CEO, Steenland led the strategic planning and negotiations that resulted in a transaction that will transform the U.S. airline industry. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Prior to the merger announcement, Steenland successfully led the airline through the most difficult period in its history. He oversaw the most successful restructuring in the airline industry, reshaping Northwest Airlines into a financially viable airline by reducing operating costs and restructuring its balance sheet while ensuring that its 30,000 employees remained focused on customer service.

As a result, creditors received a substantial recovery on their bankruptcy claims and employees received $1.0 billion in distributions. Steenland also led the successful effort in Congress to enact new pension legislation, thus saving the hard-earned pensions of Northwest employees and retirees.

As evidence of its successful restructuring, in 2007 Northwest had the highest profit margins among U.S. network carriers and the third most profitable year in its 80 year history. In 2007, Northwest distributed $125 million to its employees in incentive payments.

While serving as president, Steenland’s responsibilities included: alliances, where he oversaw the company’s relationships with its 16 airline partners and Northwest’s entry into SkyTeam; government affairs; labor relations; human resources; corporate and brand communications and legal affairs.

Steenland joined Northwest in 1991 as vice president and deputy general counsel. Between 1994 and 1999, he was a senior vice president and general counsel, and following that, he served as the airline’s executive vice president and chief corporate officer.

Before joining Northwest, Steenland worked as a senior partner at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson, and Hand (now part of Piper Rudnick, Washington, D.C.) and handled matters related to transportation, corporate law, telecommunications, government relations, and insurance. He also has served in the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Steenland holds a bachelor of arts in history from Michigan’s Calvin College and a juris doctor (with highest honors) from the National Law Center at George Washington University. He serves on the Board of Directors of Northwest Airlines, Inc. and is President of the Board of Directors of the Air Transport Association and a member of the Board of the International Air Transport Association. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Orchestra, the Greater Twin Cities United Way and is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guthrie Theater.

Steenland is married and has two children.
