Chicago Express to Shut Down

Chicago Express, which flies to seven Midwest cities, now appears on course to shut down as scheduled on March 28. ATA announced last month that the 600- employee commuter line would close while ATA drafts a plan to emerge from bankruptcy.

Monday, a federal judge rejected an investor's bid for ATA Airlines' Chicago Express regional carrier as part of the airline's bankruptcy reorganization. Robinson's NatTel LLC of Stamford, Conn., had offered $25,000 for the 17- aircraft commuter line on the condition the acquisition move forward before Chicago Express ceases operations.
