Seeking additional domestic feed, Northwest Orient Airlines announced on January 23, 1986 that they would buy Republic for 4 million USD in response to United Airlines' purchase of the Pacific routes of Pan American World Airways.  Though initially opposed by the Justice Department, the Northwest-Republic merger was finally approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) on July 31, 1986 and was completed on October 1 of that same year.
Northwest decided to drop the word
ORIENT
from their name after the merger.
Republic's hubs at Minneapolis, Memphis, and Detroit became the backbone of Northwest's domestic network.
