JADE Cargo and the Chengdu Municipality have agreed to open an international air cargo hub at Chengdu Airport. Jade will operate routes to Europe and the Middle East from the hub, thereby opening up western China to those markets.

It is foreseen that the NWA AOC (Aircarrier Operating Certificate) will seize to exist on 31.12.2009 as NWA airline operations are transferred to DELTA operations. All remaining NWA aircraft will receive stickers "operated by Delta", while the already repainted NWA aircraft will loose their stickers "Operated by NWA" as they become full DELTA aircraft.
AMS will loose its NWA flight numbers very soon thereafter, when all flights transfer to DELTA flight numbers.
From early December 2009 DELTA has expanded its codeshare agreement with KLM to the following routes beyond Amsterdam. Codeshare flight number ranges are in DL9000 series.
