which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1
                             FORMATION OF DEPOSITS

     Section 1.1  Acceptance of Depositary.  The Depositary hereby agrees to
act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith to
accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.  The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain

term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise

instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the
separate deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such
additional separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with

collectively, the "Accounts"), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 2

Bank, New York, ABN NY ABA #02009580, Account: Chicago Treasury, Reference:
Northwest Airlines 2000-1 EETC, and the Depositary shall accept from the
Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$476,319,000.00.
Upon acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the
deposits specified in Schedule I hereto maturing on the respective dates
(each such date, as it may be extended from time to time in accordance with,
and subject to the requirements of, the Indemnity Agreement (as defined
herein) through the Delivery Period Termination Date, a "Maturity Date") set
forth therein (including any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof,
individually, a "Deposit" and, collectively, the "Deposits") and (ii) credit
each Deposit to the related Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be
deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit.

     Section 2.2  Interest.  Each Deposit shall bear interest from and
including the date of deposit to but excluding the earlier of (x) date of
withdrawal and (y) such Deposit's Maturity Date at the rate of  8.072% per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months) payable to
the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent semiannually in arrears on
each April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2000 (each, an "Interest
Payment Date"), and (except in the case of a Final Withdrawal (as defined
below) made pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below)
on a day which is not an Interest Payment Date) on the date of the Final
Withdrawal (as defined below), all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement (whether or not any such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest
Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to
a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as defined below) shall be paid on the next
Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal (such
remaining interest being hereinafter referred to as a "Carryover Deposit").
In addition, interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a
Notice of Replacement Withdrawal but not paid on the date of the Final
Withdrawal shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date.

     Section 2.3  Withdrawals.  On and after the date seven (7) days after
the establishment of each Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at
least one (1) Business Days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in
the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Notice of Purchase Withdrawal"), withdraw
not less than the entire balance of such Deposit.  At any time prior to the
actual withdrawal of any such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through
Trustee may, by notice to the Depositary, cancel such withdrawal (including
on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue
to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms
thereof.  Following such withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall
be zero and the Depositary shall close such Account.  As used herein,
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New
York, New York, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Boston, Massachusetts, Hartford,
Connecticut, Salt Lake City, Utah or Chicago, Illinois.  The Depositary

                                       3

<PAGE>

                                                  [Deposit Agreement (Class G)]

reserves the right, upon at least fourteen (14) days prior notice to
Northwest, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven
(7) days notice for any withdrawal.

          (a)(i)  The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least fifteen (15) days
prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto
(a "Notice of Final Withdrawal"), withdraw the entire amount of all of the
remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued
and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of
withdrawal (a "Final Withdrawal"), on such date as shall be specified in such
Notice of Final Withdrawal.  If neither a Notice of Final Withdrawal nor a
Notice of Replacement Withdrawal has been given to the Depositary on or before
September 30, 2001, and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the
Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on
such date as designated by Northwest pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement dated
as of June 28, 2000 between Northwest and the Depositary (the "Indemnity
Agreement") but in any event not later than October 15, 2001.

          (ii)  The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least fifteen (15) days
prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit C hereto
(a "Notice of Replacement Withdrawal"), request withdrawal of the entire
amount of all Deposits then held by the Depositary together with, if specified
in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, the payment by the Depositary of all
accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified
date of withdrawal (a "Replacement Withdrawal") on such date as shall be
specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

          (b)  If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal
complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the payments
specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 2.4   Other Accounts.  On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit
pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass
Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to re-deposit
with the Depositary any portion thereof and the Depositary shall accept the
same for deposit hereunder.  Any sums so received for deposit shall be
established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as more fully
provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of this
Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and
effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except

                                       4

<PAGE>

                                                  [Deposit Agreement (Class G)]

that (i) such Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after
the establishment thereof and (ii) such Deposit shall mature on such date as
designated by Northwest pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement and bear interest
as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.  The Depositary shall promptly give notice
to the Escrow Agent of receipt of each such re-deposit and the account number
assigned thereto.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                  TERMINATION

     Section 3.1  This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall have
been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit and (ii) all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

     Section 3.2  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the
Depositary under the last two (2) sentences of Section 2.2 hereof shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of a
replacement Deposit Agreement in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 4
                                  PAYMENTS

     All payments (including, without limitation, those payments made in
respect of Taxes (as defined and provided for below)) made by the Depositary
hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available
funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest on the Deposits
payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the
Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent at State Street Bank and Trust
Company, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department, Reference:  Northwest Airlines 2000-1 EETC, or to
such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing
to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal
of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal or all
the then remaining Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal,
directly to or as directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified and in
the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal or Notice of
Replacement Withdrawal.  The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of
set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right

                                       5

(whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have
against the Deposits howsoever arising. Except as provided below, all payments
on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without
reduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions
or charges (collectively, "Taxes").  However, if the Depositary or the Paying
Agent (pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement) shall
be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall: (i) make such deductions or
withholding; (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld (including in respect
of such additional amounts) to the competent taxation authority; and (iii) if
the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed by the Netherlands
or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts as may be
necessary in order that the actual amount received by the designated recipient
of such sum under this Agreement or the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement after
such deduction or withholding equals the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required.  If the date on which any payment due on
any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on such scheduled date, and no additional interest
shall accrue in respect of such extension.

                                  ARTICLE 5

below) made pursuant to a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal (as defined below)
on a day which is not an Interest Payment Date) on the date of the Final
Withdrawal (as defined below), all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement (whether or not any such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest
Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to
a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as defined below) shall be paid on the next
Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal (such
remaining interest being hereinafter referred to as a "Carryover Deposit").
In addition, interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a
Notice of Replacement Withdrawal but not paid on the date of the Final
Withdrawal shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date.

         Section 2.3 Withdrawals.    On and after the date seven (7) days
after the establishment of each Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing
at least one (1) Business Days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary
in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Notice of Purchase Withdrawal"), withdraw
not less than the entire balance of such Deposit.  At any time prior to the
actual withdrawal of any such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through
Trustee may, by notice to the Depositary, cancel such withdrawal (including
on the scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue
to be maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms
thereof.  Following such withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall
be zero and the Depositary shall close such Account.  As used herein,

"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to close in New
York, New York, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Boston, Massachusetts, Hartford,
Connecticut, Salt Lake City, Utah or Chicago, Illinois.  The Depositary
reserves the right, upon at least fourteen (14) days prior notice to
Northwest, the Escrow Agent and the Pass Through Trustee, to require seven
(7) days notice for any withdrawal.

                 (a)  (i)The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least fifteen
(15) days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit
B hereto (a "Notice of Final Withdrawal"), withdraw the entire amount of all
of the remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all
accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified
date of withdrawal (a "Final Withdrawal''), on such date as shall be
specified in such Notice of Final Withdrawal.  If neither a Notice of Final
Withdrawal nor a Notice of Replacement Withdrawal has been given to the
Depositary on or before September 30, 2001, and there are unwithdrawn
Deposits on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final
Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on such date as designated by Northwest
pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement dated as of June 28, 2000 between
Northwest and the Depositary (the "Indemnity Agreement") but in any event not
later than October 15, 2001.

                 (ii)     The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least fifteen
(15) days prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit
C hereto (a "Notice of Replacement Withdrawal"), request withdrawal of the
entire amount of all Deposits then held by the Depositary together with, if
specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal, the payment by the
Depositary of all accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but
excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a "Replacement Withdrawal'') on
such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.

                 (b)      If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement
Withdrawal complying with the provisions of this Agreement, it shall make the
payments specified therein in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

         Section 2.4        Other Accounts.  On the date of withdrawal of any
Deposit pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, the Escrow Agent, or the
Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to re-
deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof and the Depositary shall
accept the same for deposit hereunder.  Any sums so received for deposit
shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all as
more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of
this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and
effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except
that (i) such Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after
the establishment thereof and (ii) such Deposit shall mature on such date as
designated by Northwest pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement and bear interest
as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.  The Depositary shall promptly give notice
to the Escrow Agent of receipt of each such re-deposit and the account number
assigned thereto.

         Section 3.1      This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the
Deposits shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any
re-deposit and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall
have been paid as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which
the Depositary shall have performed in full its obligations hereunder.

         Section 3.2      For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the
Depositary under the last two (2) sentences of Section 2.2 hereof shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of

                                   PAYMENTS

         All payments (including, without limitation, those payments made in
respect of Taxes (as defined and provided for below)) made by the Depositary
hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately available
funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest on the Deposits
payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the
Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent at State Street Bank and Trust
Company, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department, Reference:  Northwest Airlines 2000-1 EETC, or to
such other account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in
writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent and (ii) in the case of any
withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or all the then remaining Deposits pursuant to a Notice of
Replacement Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through
Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Replacement Withdrawal.  The Depositary hereby waives
any and all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or
similar right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise)
it may have against the Deposits howsoever arising.  Except as provided
below, all payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes, levies
or other impositions or charges (collectively, "Taxes").  However, if the
Depositary or the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall:
(i) make such deductions or withholding; (ii) pay the full amount deducted or
withheld (including in respect of such additional amounts) to the competent

                                      -6-

withheld are imposed by the Netherlands or any political subdivision thereof,
pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the actual
amount received by the designated recipient of such sum under this Agreement
or the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement after such deduction or withholding
equals the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been required.  If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would
otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on such scheduled date, and no additional interest shall accrue in
respect of such extension.
