NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox, along with representatives of Safari Club International, contacted Northwest executives personally, soon after the airline announced it would charge up to $300 in excess baggage charges for gun cases. “I’m pleased that we could work with Northwest Airlines on this issue,” said Cox. “I’m happy to report that Northwest now has one of the most generous policies in the airline industry when it comes to transporting firearms, and I hope other airlines will follow their lead.”
