Trans World Airlines Inc. is not rushing in to take advantage of the recent civil aviation framework agreement between Japan and the United States, but will wait a while to make the most of it, according to William F. Compton, president of the fifth-largest U.S. carrier.

"We want to enter the service correctly. We believe that we need to spend some time getting Japanese people to know the TWA name," said Compton, who visited Japan this week. "We want to make sure this is a success. We don't want to rush in to an implementation."
