NEW YORK, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Midwest Air Group (MEH.A: Quote, Profile, Research) on Friday said it accepted a $17 per share offer from private equity firm TPG Capital, LP to acquire the company, ending a bidding war for the airlines that also included AirTran Holdings (AAI.N: Quote, Profile, Research).

Midwest said TPG's all-cash offer, for about $450 million in total, was superior to AirTran's $16.27 per share cash-and-stock offer.
