Chicago transportation executive Thomas Meagher died of natural causes on Nov. 21 at his Burr Ridge home, said his son Michael. He was 92.
Thomas Meagher was a Chicago transportation executive who led bus operator Continental Air Transport and later was chairman of Trans World Airlines.
Meagher served in the U.S. Marine Corps and rose to be a captain, his son said. After about four years of active service, Meagher spent a year or so in a management training program at Sears, Roebuck & Co. In 1956, he joined American Airlines as a management trainee. In August 1972, Meagher resigned from the bureau and returned to Continental as its president. However, he remained on the bureau’s board, and he was elected board chairman in 1974.
Also in 1993, Meagher joined the board of Trans World Airlines as it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. TWA went bankrupt again in 1995, and as it reemerged, Meagher in 1996 became non-executive chairman of its board, a role he held until 1997.
