American Airlines
American Airlines is one of the world's largest and best-known carriers. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, just a few miles from its hub at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, American serves hundreds of locations with thousands of flights taking passengers to places in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Latin American, China, India, Japan, and the Caribbean.
Founded in 1930, American has been a pioneer of many of the features that make flying easier. American Airlines was the first carrier to offer a frequent flyer program. It was the first airline to use electronic ticketing. Its AAdvantage frequent flier rewards program serves over 50 million members, and is the largest frequent flier program in the world.
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.
American has four hubs, at DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth), San Juan, Puerto Rico, Chicago, and Miami. American is also strong in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York. The company maintains and services its plains at facilities in Fort Worth, Kansas City, and Tulsa.
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 was a founding member of the airline alliance Oneworld. Airline alliances allow carriers to share flight codes and luggage transfer facilities with numerous other carriers to give fliers more choices. Oneworld airlines also share their frequent flier programs. The Oneworld Alliance celebrates its tenth 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.
American Airlines is also a leader in offering in-flight technology. In 2008, American became the first airline to offer full in-flight internet service. This came only a year after American began offering free Wi-fi service to passengers on its flights in the United States.
