ANA Holdings Inc has won creditor backing to lead a turnaround of bankrupt Japanese discount carrier Skymark Airlines Inc, defeating a plan that proposed Delta Air Lines Inc as its sponsor.The victory gives Japan's largest carrier access to Skymark's 36 landing slots at Tokyo's crowded Haneda airport, helping it cement its domestic dominance over Japan Airlines Co Ltd.For debt holders seeking to recoup their money, ANA is "less risky" than Delta, a creditor told Reuters ahead of the decision. ANA operates airlines in Japan, has already discussed business plans with Skymark and is close to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government, the creditor added, declining to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.
