Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell released the following statement Monday regarding the proposed merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines:
“The Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) is a key economic engine of our state. Earlier this year, I contacted Delta’s CEO to remind him of the importance of CVG to Kentucky’s economy and to the thousands of workers at the hub. While I have been assured that CVG will continue to be an important component of these merged operations, I will carefully assess the proposed merger, and will not support it unless I am convinced that CVG and its workers will be protected.”
