		TWA was one of the first airlines in the world to embrace the spoke-hub distribution paradigm.
		TWA was one of the first airlines to use the Boeing 747 and it planned to use the 747 along with the anticipated supersonic transport to whisk people between the West/Midwest (via Kansas City) and New York City (via John F. Kennedy International Airport) to European and other world destinations.
		In 1969 TWA Flight 840 from Rome to Athens was hijacked to Damascus.

	Twa Flight
		TWA Flight 800 (TW800,TWA800) was a passenger flight from JFK (Jamaica, Queens, New York, New York) to Charles De Gaulle International Airport (near Paris).
		The flight number was retired and replaced with flight 924 after the crash, although TWA continued to operate flights between New York and Paris.
		The FAA stated that, including the TWA Flight 800 crash, there had been three fuel tank explosions in airliners over the previous 14 years (the two others having occurred on the ground), and that based on this statistic, fuel tank inerting devices could eliminate about 4 accidents over the next 25 years.

	Trans World Airlines--Dawn to Dusk, Part II
		TWA Capt. Tom Ashwood, as an ALPA national officer, was highly instrumental in the U.S. and international effort to solve the hijacking menace.
		TWA’s fleet of 232 jets, coupled with delivery of widebody jets at a time when many small carriers and fleets were being restructured or established, helped create tremendous overcapacity and traffic stagnation as the traveling public was sharply reducing its air travel.
		TWA leaves the national aviation scene in much the same way it came in: A marriage of airlines during a weak economy marked by an unregulated environment that sports unbridled competition and with a pilot in command of its operations, directing a stalwart workforce and a resolute pilot group flying an improving aircraft fleet.

		TWA charged in the suit that when jet aircraft were first brought into commercial use in 1958, Hughes deliberately procrastinated in securing them for the airline.
		By the time TWA was in the air with a sizable fleet of jets in 1959, competing airlines were months ahead.
		TWA will discontinue its flights to Germany, leaving Pan Am the only U.S. carrier serving that country; Pan Am in return will surrender all but one of its flights to France, Portugal, Spain and Morocco.

		Some 60 persons were injured and one flight attendant was hurled to her death (the only fatality) when the top blew off.

		BY WILLIAM E. TWA Flight 840, a Boeing 727 flying from Rome to Athens with 115 passengers and seven crew members aboard, had already begun its descent toward the Athens international airport.
		The bomb aboard Flight 840 took only four lives, far fewer than the 166 people who died two days earlier when a Mexican jetliner crashed into a mountainside in central Mexico, but it was one of the most chilling episodes in the generation-old saga of airborne terrorism.
		Before Flight 840 left Rome last week, it was inspected by a private security firm, Flashpol, and crew members said they had checked beneath the seats and had done a "spot check" of some, but not all, of the 146 life preservers aboard.

		The round trip required eight to 12 in-flight refuelings for each airplane-this one, from Karma Flight, armed with 2,000-pound laser-guided bombs.
		Then the crews, flushed with adrenaline from the attack, faced a long flight home, with more in-flight refuelings, the knowledge that one aircraft was down, and the incredible realization that the raid's results were already being broadcast on Armed Forces Radio.

		The two Palestinian guerrillas who forced down TWA Flight 840 in Damascus may well have pulled off much more than the 46th reported hijacking of the year.
		The ease with which they commandeered the plane and the apparent immunity that they enjoyed in Syria suggest that air piracy is becoming a standard and almost absurdly routine tactic.
		In the case of TWA 840, most activity focused on freeing two Israeli passengers who were detained in Damascus.
