Northwest Airlines Corp. is committing $213.3 million for its part in TPG Capital's buyout of Midwest Air Group - a level of investment that would give Northwest a 47 percent stake in the Oak Creek carrier.

Midwest officials have denied that antitrust issues would be a factor in closing the transaction. .
