Delta Air Lines, which intends to merge with Northwest Airlines, announced on Tuesday its post-merger senior executives, who will be led, as expected, by Delta Chief Executive Richard Anderson.
Upon the closing of the deal, Delta Chief Financial Officer Ed Bastian will be CFO of the new company and CEO of Northwest, which will be a subsidiary of Delta.
The carrier reaffirmed that Northwest CEO Doug Steenland will leave his post and take a seat on Delta's new board of directors.
The two airlines announced in April that they would merge to become the world's largest carrier. The combined airline would be known as Delta and be based in Atlanta.
Northwest will operate as a unit of Delta until the new airline achieves a single operating certificate.
