American Airlines: Innovator In Passenger Care
American Airlines is the world’s largest passenger airline with headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas, which is also its main hub. American Airlines serves hundreds of destinations and operates flights in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, Japan, China and India.
American Airlines, affectionately known as AA, was founded in 1930, and has pioneered several industry firsts. It was the first airline to offer a frequent flyer program. It was the first airline to use electronic ticketing. Its Advantage rewards program remains the largest frequent flyer program in the world, with in excess of 50 million members.
Flying between 250 cities in almost 700 planes, American Airlines is dominant on routes between the US and Latin America, transporting over a million passengers every year between these two huge markets. No other airline carries more people to and from the USA and Latin America. But that doesn't mean American Airlines is not strong in other markets, too.
There are four American hubs throughout the world: Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Chicago, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Miami. The airline also has a strong presence in all the New York airports, in Los Angeles, and Boston. The company's maintenance facilities, employing thousands of workers are located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kansas City, and Fort Worth.
American Airlines is also the parent company of a regional carrier called American Eagle Airlines. American Eagle Airlines offers regional service in the United States, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico. Like American Airlines, American Eagle is also headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
American Airlines is a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance, the third largest airline alliance in the world. An airline alliance is an agreement between at least two airlines to work together, with member airlines offering integrated services in order to make airline travel more convenient for passengers. Alliances usually work around shared passenger terminals and frequent flyer programs. Oneworld celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2009.
American Airlines grew substantially when it acquired Trans World Airlines (TWA) and the TWA hub in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2001. However, the deal caused American to lose a substantial amount of money. The September 11th terrorist attacks, in which American Airlines planes were hijacked, also contributed to the airline’s financial problems. As a result, American Airlines was forced to drop its hub in St. Louis and lay off dozens of former TWA employees. American is still struggling financially, and in 2008 was the first airline to announce it would start charging fees for checked baggage. While the move was unpopular with travelers, other airlines eventually followed American’s lead.
Of American's fleet of nearly 700 jets, most of them are McDonnell Douglas MD-82 and MD-88 twinjets. American recently announced it will order the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to add to its fleet.
In 2008 American became the first carrier to offer in-flight Internet service on all its planes. This innovation came only a year after the airline began offering Wi-Fi on its flights within the United States.
