Two airlines have inquired about 35 106-seater Boeing 717 jetliners on order from troubled Trans World Airlines Inc. which may come back on the market if a proposed merger with American Airlines parent AMR Corp. goes ahead.
AirTran Holdings Inc., which like TWA ordered 50 of the airplanes, and Midwest Express Holdings Inc. have said they might snap up TWA's 717s, which could be available at attractive prices.
