Creditors of Skymark Airlines Inc. voted Wednesday to tap ANA Holdings Inc., Japan¡¯s biggest airline, for help in rehabilitating the No. 3 carrier, naming it Skymark¡¯s sponsor.

In a meeting at the Tokyo District Court, creditors rejected Delta Air Lines Inc., the only other suitor. Skymark filed for bankruptcy protection in January.

¡°I think the creditors understood our plan¡¯s potential to lead Skymark¡¯s rehabilitation in a swift manner,¡± said Toyoyuki Nagamine, an executive officer at ANA Holdings, parent of All Nippon Airways.
