Best of Both Airlines

Operating under the American Airlines name we’re excited to bring you an expanded global network powered by our ability to invest in renewing our fleet, more Wi-Fi across our fleet and offering products and services that will bring you a more connected, comfortable travel experience. Customers will have access to more choices and better service across the combined company’s larger worldwide network and through an enhanced oneworld® Alliance, of which American Airlines is a founding member.

At this time, we will continue to operate as two separate carriers flying the same schedules that we do today. As the new American takes shape, we expect to offer even better schedule options in our existing hubs, provide more choices than any other airline across the East Coast and Central U.S. regions, expand our network on the West Coast and enhance our existing loyalty program benefits with more opportunities to earn and redeem miles across the combined network.
