TWA to Stop Serving Meals on Short Flights: Trans World Airlines Inc., which is operating under the supervision of a bankruptcy court, will stop serving meals on flights of 549 miles or less after this month. Passengers on all flights will still be able to get soft drinks, cocktails and snacks, a TWA spokesman said. TWA will be able to reduce the cabin crew on some flights to three, from four, because of the change. The spokesman said no layoffs are planned. However, after its current class of flight attendants graduates, the airline will launch a hiring freeze.
