Trans World Airlines (TWA) has won the backing of its creditors to go ahead with its "pre-packaged" Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, aimed at smoothing the airline's latest restructuring plan. Creditors had feared that they would be left vulnerable if an unplanned filing took place during the debt-for-equity restructuring. TWA plans to re-emerge from its second Chapter 11 filing in September with debts reduced to $1.2 billion.
