</H3>Pioneer Press - Northwest Airlines will consider adding flights to Tokyo from New York and Memphis, Tenn., as it takes delivery of new planes. The airline may restart New York flights, axed two years ago, after it begins receiving 18 Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" planes in February 2009, Chief Executive Officer Doug Steenland told reporters in Tokyo Tuesday. The Dreamliner will help cut fuel costs compared with the larger-sized planes Northwest flew before, he said. A stronger yen against the U.S. dollar also could stimulate demand for flights to the U.S. from Japan, Steenland said. The carrier currently flies from seven U.S. cities to Tokyo's Narita airport, where it has more slots than All Nippon Airways Co., Japan's second-largest carrier.
