Atlanta (AP)- Delta Air Lines shareholders give the go-ahead to
the company's purchase of Northwest Airlines by approving the
issuance of new stock as part of the transaction.

Thursday's vote came at a meeting near Atlanta. Earlier in the
day, Northwest shareholders approved the combination during a
meeting in New York.

The deal still requires Justice Department approval.

The combined airline would keep the Delta name along with its
Atlanta headquarters.
