Item 1. Security and Issuer This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Trans World Airlines, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at One City Centre 515 N. Sixth Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63101. Item 2. Identity and Background This statement is being filed by His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ("HRH"), an individual, whose business address is Kingdom Holding Company, P.O. Box 8653, Riyadh, 11492, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. HRH is a citizen of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. HRH is the founder and majority owner of Kingdom Holding Company, a Saudi Arabian based corporation with interests in Saudi Arabian banking, real estate development, supermarkets, media and broadcasting and the travel industry. HRH has not during the last five years been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree and final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration HRH has acquired a total of 2,088,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which were purchased in transactions on the American Stock Exchange for an aggregate consideration of $23,816,440. The source of such consideration was HRH's personal funds. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction The purpose of the purchase of the Common Stock by HRH was to acquire the securities for investment purposes. HRH, depending upon market conditions and other factors, in the future, may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of all or a portion of the Common Stock which HRH now owns or hereafter may acquire. HRH has no present plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of any of the Issuer's assets, a change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, a change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, changes in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or with respect to the delisting or deregistration of any of the Issuer's securities. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer On March 17, 1997, HRH purchased on the American Stock Exchange 58,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.24 per share. Such purchase caused HRH's beneficial ownership to exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. As a result, as of March 17, 1997, HRH was the beneficial owner of 2,088,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which represents approximately 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. HRH has the sole power to vote (or to direct the vote) and the sole power to dispose (or to direct the disposition) of all of these shares. HRH has not engaged in any other transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock in the sixty days preceeding the purchase reported in the preceeding paragraph. No person other than HRH has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owed by HRH. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) between HRH and any persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer. Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits None Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Schedule 13D is true, complete and correct.
