American Airlines, American Eagle and All Other Subsidiaries Operating Normal Flight Schedules, Honoring All Tickets and Reservations, Maintaining High Customer Service Levels and AAdvantage Program, and Continuing Employee Pay and Benefits

AMR Has $4.1 Billion in Cash to Ensure Uninterrupted Supply of Goods and Services During Proceedings

FORT WORTH, Texas – AMR Corporation (“the Company”), the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and AMR Eagle Holding Corporation (“American Eagle”), announced that in order to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers, the Company and certain of its U.S.-based subsidiaries (including American and American Eagle), today filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

AMR’s Board of Directors determined that a Chapter 11 reorganization is in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders. Just as with the Company’s major airline competitors in recent years, the Chapter 11 process enables American Airlines and American Eagle to continue conducting normal business operations while they restructure their debt, costs and other obligations.

American Airlines and American Eagle are operating normal flight schedules today, and their reservations, customer service, AAdvantage® program, Admirals Clubs and all other operations are conducting business as usual. Likewise, throughout the Chapter 11 process, American and American Eagle expect to continue to:

  • Provide safe and reliable service;
  • Fly normal schedules;
  • Honor tickets and reservations, and make exchanges and refunds as usual;
  • Fully maintain AAdvantage frequent flyer and other customer service programs, and ensure all AAdvantage miles and elites status earned by members remain secure and intact;
  • Provide Admirals Club access and similar amenities to members and eligible customers;
  • Remain an integral member of the oneworld® alliance, of which American is a founding member, and continue its codeshare partnerships;
  • Provide employee wages, healthcare coverage, vacation, and other benefits, without interruption; and
  • Pay suppliers for goods and services received during the reorganization process.

These filings have no direct legal impact on American’s operations outside the United States.

Thomas W. Horton, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMR and American Airlines, said, “This was a difficult decision, but it is the necessary and right path for us to take – and take now – to become a more efficient, financially stronger, and competitive airline.

“We have met our challenges head on, taking all possible action to secure our long-term position. In recent years, even as the airline industry faced unprecedented challenges, American strengthened our domestic and global network; fortified our alliances with the best partners around the world; launched a transformational fleet deal that will give American the youngest and most efficient fleet in the industry; and invested in our product, service and technology to build a world class customer experience.

“But as we have made clear with increasing urgency in recent weeks, we must address our cost structure, including labor costs, to enable us to capitalize on these foundational strengths and secure our future. Our very substantial cost disadvantage compared to our larger competitors, all of which restructured their costs and debt through Chapter 11, has become increasingly untenable given the accelerating impact of global economic uncertainty and resulting revenue instability, volatile and rising fuel prices, and intensifying competitive challenges.

“Our Board decided that it was necessary to take this step now to restore the Company’s profitability, operating flexibility, and financial strength. We are committed to working as quickly and efficiently as possible to appropriately restructure American so that it can emerge from Chapter 11 well-positioned to assure the Company’s long term viability and its ability to compete effectively in the marketplace,” Horton stated.

Horton continued, “Throughout the restructuring process, as always, our customers remain our top priority and they can continue to depend on us for the safe, reliable travel and high quality service they know and expect from us. We intend to maintain a strong presence in domestic and international markets, including our cornerstones in Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles. As we and all airlines routinely do, we will continue to evaluate our operations and service, assuring that our network is as efficient and productive as possible.

“Achieving the competitive cost structure we need remains a key imperative in this process and, as one part of that, we plan to initiate further negotiations with all of our unions to reduce our labor costs to competitive levels.”

“American Airlines has a strong, proud history and we will have a successful future. Working through this difficult, but necessary action and process, I am confident we will succeed in enhancing our reputation as a global leader known for excellence and innovation, a travel partner customers seek out, and a carrier that serves communities throughout the world,” Horton concluded.

The Company has approximately $4.1 billion in unrestricted cash and short-term investments. This cash, as well as cash generated from operations, is anticipated to be more than sufficient to assure that its vendors, suppliers and other business partners will be paid timely and in full for goods and services provided during the Chapter 11 process in accordance with customary terms.  Because of the Company’s current cash position, the need for debtor-in-possession financing is neither considered necessary nor anticipated.

American is filing motions today with the Court seeking interim relief that will ensure the Company’s continued ability to conduct normal operations, including the ability to:

  • Provide employee wages, healthcare coverage, vacation, and other  benefits without interruption;
  • Honor pre-petition obligations to customers and continue customer programs including American’s AAdvantage frequent flyer program;
  • Pay for fuel under existing fuel supply contracts, and honor existing fuel supply, distribution and storage agreements; and
  • Assume and honor contracts relating to interline agreements with other airlines.

As announced separately today, the Board of Directors of AMR Corporation appointed Horton Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, succeeding Gerard Arpey, who informed the Board of his decision to retire. Horton will also succeed Arpey as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Airlines and will retain the title of President.

AMR’s lead counsel is Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and its financial advisor is Rothschild, Inc.

More information about American Airlines Chapter 11 filing is available on the Internet at AA.com/restructuring. Information for suppliers and vendors is available at (866) 736-9011 or (703) 286-2757, or by sending an email to amr.supplier@aa.com.

AMR will be filing monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court and also plans to post these monthly operating reports on the Investor Relations section of AA.com. The company will continue to file quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will also be available in the Investor Relations section of AA.com.

AMERICAN AIRLINES COLLABORATES WITH CHEF RICHARD SANDOVAL AND CHEF MARCUS SAMUELSSON TO ENHANCE INFLIGHT DINING PROGRAM

Chefs Join American’s Culinary Team to Design Inflight Menus

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines is adding two new ingredients – Chef Richard Sandoval and Chef Marcus Samuelsson – to its inflight dining program as part of the airline’s ongoing effort to enhance and differentiate the onboard travel experience.

On Oct. 1, American will begin offering signature menu items designed by Chef Sandoval onboard flights between the U.S. and Europe, Asia and Latin America in American’s premium class cabins. Also beginning Oct. 1, American will debut the New American Table menu featuring original creations by Chef Samuelsson. His offerings will be available for purchase on domestic flights more than two hours in length as part of the Main Cabin dining program.

“American revolutionized the airline industry when it first introduced original menu items from some of the world’s top chefs more than 20 years ago. Today, American continues to leverage the expertise of some of the most prominent and well-respected chefs to help define the direction of our inflight dining experience,” said Rob Friedman, American’s Vice President – Marketing. “Chef Sandoval and Chef Samuelsson – two highly-talented members of the culinary community – will further enhance the onboard travel experience for our customers by providing a broader range of options to satisfy our customers’ diverse tastes.”

Specializing in modern Latin cuisine, Chef Sandoval has developed fresh and innovative entrees exclusively for American Airlines using authentic Latin ingredients and international flavors. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Sandoval gained the attention of New Yorkers with the opening of Maya, his first modern Mexican restaurant. Sandoval has been recognized as Father of Modern Mexican Cuisine for his blend of traditional Mexican ingredients and contemporary cooking techniques that define Maya’s cuisine. Since the opening of Maya, Chef Sandoval has applied his mantra of “old ways, new hands” to diverse Latin concepts, ranging from Coastal Mexican Cuisine at Pampano to Latin-Asian at Zengo. He was named “Restaurateur of the Year” in 2006 by Bon Appetit and today acts as Chef and Owner of Richard Sandoval Restaurants, a leading international restaurant group with more than 20 locations around the world.

Signature entrees by Chef Sandoval featured onboard American Airlines will rotate monthly and include a lemongrass marinated chicken breast with yucca purée, chayote salad with a citrus sauce and halibut with truffle corn salsa and sweet potato purée.

An award-winning chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, Chef Samuelsson enables customers to experience a unique variety of tastes and cultures through his food onboard American Airlines and also as the chef/owner of the restaurant Red Rooster Harlem located in New York City. The winner of three prestigious awards by the James Beard Foundation, he also took home the top prize on season two of the Bravo Network’s Top Chef Masters and is the youngest person ever to receive a three-star rating from The New York Times.

Chef Samuelsson draws from his breadth of epicurean knowledge to incorporate bold flavors and new traditions into his recipes. Customers onboard American Airlines can enjoy his creations as part of the airline’s New American Table menu available onboard select domestic flights. Menu options rotate monthly and vary by flight time, but will include a turkey and chutney sandwich – artisan-style bread spread with apple cranberry ginger chutney, topped with sliced smoked turkey breast, crisp apple slices and romaine lettuce and accompanied by Miss Vickie’s® chips; and a breakfast biscuit – a buttery buttermilk biscuit topped with smoked turkey breast, sharp cheddar cheese and sliced tomato and served with Stacy’s® cinnamon pita chips on the side.

In the coming months, American will continue to expand the culinary options available onboard by working with Chef Sandoval and Chef Samuelsson to create new and exciting offerings on menus throughout the aircraft.

The enhancements to the inflight dining program – an integral component of the onboard travel experience – are one example of American’s commitment to improving the overall travel experience by providing products and services its customers value. For example, this month American introduced a new suite of premium class amenities on flights between the U.S. and London Heathrow and will introduce the products on all international flights Oct. 1. To view the complete collection of amenities, visit www.aa.com/flybetter.  In addition, American is outfiting its aircraft with a cutting-edge inflight entertainment experience. American is the first North American airline to launch entertainment on demand service, an inflight streaming video product, onboard its fleet of 767-200s. American will expand the service to approximately 400 Wi-Fi enabled aircraft by the end of 2012.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – are you wearing your pink ribbon?

In honor of organizations that promote awareness, early detection and treatment, such as Susan G. Komen and Circle of Promise, BlackAtlas.com from American Airlines is dedicated to educating and empowering both women and men.

A few facts:

– Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African American women

– An estimated 26,840 new cases of breast cancer are expected to occur among African American women in 2011

– African American women have a 39% higher mortality rate, which may be related to differences in access to and utilization of early detection and treatment

Circle of Promise

Circle of Promise has a call to action for you: they are asking African American women to make a commitment to follow the 4 steps to Breast Self Awareness (more about the steps below), while also making a promise to be an ambassador to spread the word for others in our community to do the same.

“We’re Not Just All Talk!”

A little over three years ago, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® proudly launched a new platform known as the Circle of Promise — a movement dedicated to further engaging black women around the globe in the fight against breast cancer.  Since that time, Circle of Promise has grown, with more than 100,000 women and men raising their hands and taking action in the fight against breast cancer.  In that 100,000, you’ll find a powerful list of women.  A list of women who may duke it out for listeners on one hand, and then join hands for a very important cause that’s much greater.

They are competitors in one vein and sisters in another.  In case you’re wondering “What’s the tie that binds them together?”  Breast cancer.

Ebony Steele, Rickey Smiley Morning Show: “I was in shock…”

Ebony had left the number-one radio show in Birmingham to begin her dream job in Dallas, co-hosting a national radio show alongside Rickey Smiley. Just weeks before her debut, she happened to notice something unusual in one of her breasts.

At her sister’s insistence, Ebony called her doctor the next day. When tests confirmed that it was breast cancer, she made the difficult decision to tell her radio audience about the diagnosis before taking time off for surgery and chemotherapy. Hundreds of emails poured in from listeners, and Ebony knew she had found her purpose: to share her story and help other women improve their survival odds through early detection.

As soon as she regained her strength, Ebony partnered with Susan G. Komen’s Circle of Promise, touring the U.S and urging women everywhere to get mammograms — and get involved in bringing breast cancer to an end.

Sybil Wilkes, Tom Joyner Morning Show: “My mom meant the world to me.  She was my courage and inspiration…”

Not long before her graduation from Northwestern University, Sybil’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sybil stayed nearby, starting her career at a Chicago radio station. By the time opportunities lured Sybil to radio newsrooms in Florida and North Carolina, her mother had made a strong recovery.

Several years after the original diagnosis, the cancer returned. Sybil came back to Chicago to pursue her career near her mother. The mother-daughter team served as Susan G. Komen for the Cure volunteers, driving women to treatment sessions.

Sybil continued supporting Komen after her mother’s death, eventually taking the message of breast cancer awareness and early detection to her nationwide radio audience. Recently, Sybil increased her commitment by becoming a Susan G. Komen Circle of Promise national ambassador. It’s one of the many ways she fulfills the biblical teaching often quoted by her parents: “To whom much is given, much is required.”

Carla Ferrell, Steve Harvey Morning Show: “Her strength and love all the way to the end continues to inspire me…”

So who was the influence behind this influential woman? It was her mother — the mother who walked Carla down the aisle at her wedding and died of breast cancer just three months later.

Carla’s mother, like so many women, took better care of her family than herself. She never had a mammogram until well after she found the lump in her breast. By the time the cancer was diagnosed, she had lost any advantage early detection might have offered. Still, surgery, chemo and radiation gave her several good years before the cancer made a fatal reappearance in her lung.

In the time she had left, Carla’s mother got involved with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Carla threw herself into the cause too, adding Circle of Promise National Ambassador to her list of titles. Today, Carla keeps her mother’s memory alive by urging other women to get mammograms and warning against the delay that — as Carla knows well — often makes a life-or-death difference.

DeDe McGuire, The Doug Banks Show: “I’m making a difference for my aunt and other women who join me in this fight…”

DeDe’s passion for radio isn’t about achieving fame or connecting with the high-profile celebrities she interviews. It’s based instead on connecting with real people. She sees the lifestyle segments on her shows as opportunities to share ideas and information with her listeners, as well as to entertain them.

One of the most fulfilling ways DeDe connects with her audience is as a voice for breast cancer awareness and screening. She learned the value of early detection from an aunt who survived breast cancer and credited her recovery on catching it in time. Reminding her listeners to get checkups and mammograms is a way to pass along the wisdom that served her aunt so well.

A longtime Susan G. Komen for the Cure supporter and frequent participant in the Komen Race for the Cure®, DeDe took her commitment to the next level by becoming a Circle of Promise National Ambassador last year. Adding a new role in breast cancer activism to her double-duty radio career didn’t concern her one bit. It’s just part of what makes DeDe McGuire tick.

MC Lyte, Loni Love and Angelique Perrin, Café Mocha Radio: “We believe that we can make a difference in the lives of other women…”

Loni Love began doing standup in college. Not long into an engineering career, she turned her full focus to comedy. Since then, she’s starred in a Comedy Central special, made frequent appearances on hit TV series and served as a CNN correspondent on D.L. Hughley’s show. Both Variety and Comedy Central have named her to their lists of Top 10 Comics to Watch. Loni sees her Circle of Promise ambassadorship as a chance to make women smile while she urges them to get mammograms and checkups. The feedback from Café Mocha listeners has made her an even bigger believer in the power of comedy to do good.

Angelique Perrin didn’t just climb the broadcasting career ladder. She rocketed up on her own star power. In three years, she went from her first radio job in North Carolina to national acclaim on a popular syndicated radio show. Six months after moving to Los Angeles, Angelique was a regular on B.E.T. These days, she divides her time between an LA radio show, voicing a character on the new Rugrats TV series, co-hosting Café Mocha and serving as a Circle of Promise National Ambassador. She considers her work in the breast cancer movement as a way to share valuable information and resources with her listeners — an effort made all the more meaningful by the 2009 diagnosis of a lifelong friend.

MC Lyte is not only a record-breaker (first female rap artist awarded a gold single, first female solo rapper nominated for a Grammy, first rapper to perform at Carnegie Hall), she’s also a barrier-breaker who paved the way for countless other female artists. MC Lyte has made her mark as a movie/TV actor, voiceover artist, author, speaker and TV/radio personality as well. A common thread in her pursuits is helping other women achieve their dreams. It’s one of the reasons she enjoys co-hosting Café Mocha and serving as a Circle of Promise National Ambassador. The two roles came together in a recent Café Mocha show that stressed the importance of mammograms. MC Lyte urged the women who take care of everyone else to take time for their own physical and emotional wellbeing.

AMERICAN AIRLINES SELECTED FOR 2011 CORPORATE COUNSEL WOMEN OF COLOR INAUGURAL DIVERSITY AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

American’s Legal Department Recognized for Outstanding Achievement in its Commitment to Diversity and the Advancement of Women Attorneys of Color

FORT WORTH, Texas – The American Airlines Legal Department has been selected to receive the inaugural Diversity Award of Excellence from the Corporate Counsel Women of Color® (CCWC).  American will be recognized with three other honorees on Oct. 6 during the CCWC’s keynote luncheon at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“American’s commitment to diversity is not a slogan or a tagline,” said Gary Kennedy, AMR Corp. and American’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. “Diversity and inclusion are part of the fabric of American, and we are honored to be recognized by an outstanding organization such as the Corporate Counsel Women of Color.”

CCWC is an international organization of women of color attorneys who work primarily for Fortune 1000 and Forbes 2000 companies. Founded in 2004, the mission of the CCWC is to provide a support network to in-house women attorneys of color and to promote the national and international advancement of women of color in the legal profession and workplace.

American’s Legal Department was recognized for its exemplary efforts in recruiting, retaining, and the advancement of women of color attorneys through training, mentorship, and other initiatives. Of the 14 new hires since 2003, seven have been minorities (50 percent), eight have been women (57 percent) and four have been women of color (28 percent).

Additionally, American is committed to the importance of mentoring and developing women for professional careers in law. It supports these efforts by:

  • Mentoring minority students at the Texas Wesleyan School of Law in Fort Worth
  • Providing speakers for various law school conferences, including the National Black Law Students Association Annual Convention and the National Black Pre-Law Students Association
  • Sponsoring law school scholarship efforts through support of the J.L. Turner Legal Association Foundation’s Scholarship Gala, the Dallas Hispanic Bar Association and the Dallas Asian-American Bar Association

American also closely monitors the participation of attorneys of color with its outside firms, tracking the billable hours of diverse attorneys both quarterly and annually, with hours tracked for minority attorneys in majority firms, minority-owned firms and women-owned firms. This tracking ensures minority attorneys benefit economically from American’s business.

“American understands that speaking at conferences and mentoring is important,” said Kennedy. “However, minority law firms and minority attorneys must participate in the economic benefits of doing business with American for our efforts to have a broader and more significant overall impact on society.”

“The American Airlines Legal Department is a model of an ideal work environment for women of color in the corporate legal space,” said Laurie Robinson, Founder and CEO of the CCCW. “Its diverse staff, exhaustive recruitment efforts, the tracking and monitoring of the outside firms it retains, and its support through mentoring and providing scholarships to diverse organizations make American a clear choice for our inaugural Diversity Award of Excellence.”

“The diversity of our attorneys contributes to the business beyond sound legal advice,” said Lauri Curtis, American’s Vice President – Diversity, Leadership and Engagement. “Several of them lead our employee resource groups and provide valuable insight into many other business decisions. We’re a more progressive company as a result of hiring minority attorneys and doing business with minority law firms.”

AMERICAN AIRLINES PARTNERS WITH CHOIR ACADEMY OF HARLEM
Airline Donates 36 Computers for Music Technology Program

NEW YORK – American Airlines, which has served the New York market for more than 80 years, has formed a partnership with the Choir Academy of Harlem through the PENCIL program. PENCIL builds and supports customized relationships between business leaders and principals to inspire innovation and transform public schools. Choir Academy, located in New York City, serves students in grades six through 12 with programs in three music majors – choral music, instrumental and dance.

To kick off the school year, American donated 36 recycled and refurbished computers, along with printers, monitors, mouses, and cables, to the faculty and students of Choir Academy. The computers will allow the teachers to implement digital music technology programs, and access to the Internet will allow students to research colleges and prepare for standardized tests.

“Choir Academy is tremendously grateful to American Airlines for its generous donation,” said Dr. A. Ellen Parris, principal of the Choir Academy of Harlem. “American’s gift and support go a long way towards helping create viable opportunities for more than 300 deserving boys and girls at our school.”

“Institutions like the Choir Academy of Harlem are vital to the New York community,” said Art Torno, American’s Vice President – New York, New York City’s largest airline employer. “These young, talented students are our future leaders. It is important that we recognize them and help them obtain the proper tools, equipment and technology to further their education.”

For decades, American has been a strong supporter of New York’s arts and cultural community, as well as the Harlem community. American will work with Choir Academy, through the PENCIL partnership, to build school capacity and enhance the learning experience for students. Student performers will also benefit from increased exposure in the community through public performances and internship opportunities.

Choir Academy was founded by Dr. Walter Turnbull, originator and founder of the Boys Choir of Harlem. Slated to shut down in early 2010 due to poor academic performance, the school received a second lease on life after legal delays postponed closure long enough to let educators raise the school’s progress report grade from a D to a B. Most classrooms now have interactive SMART Boards, some courses offer an honors track, and extra tutoring is available after school and on weekends.

Through the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, American recently awarded Harlem Week Scholarships to two New York City high school seniors pursuing higher education. American also provides sponsorships and in-kind support to many organizations serving the Greater New York community, including Citymeals-on-Wheels, Roundabout Theatre Company (American Airlines Theatre), The New York Pops, Lincoln Center Theater, American Ballet Theater, New York City Opera and Harlem Stage. In addition, American supports New York City’s Ladders for Leaders, which exposes students to different careers and colleges, providing select participants with round-trip airfare to visit universities outside of New York City. American is committed to the Greater New York community, which more than 11,000 active AMR Corp. employees and retirees call home.
