American Airlines Group Inc. is a holding company whose principal business is scheduled passenger and cargo air transportation, provided through American Airlines, wholly owned regional airlines, and third-party carriers operating under the American Eagle brand. Its services also include cargo transportation and the AAdvantage loyalty program.[1][2]

The company’s network served more than 350 destinations worldwide in 2025, and American is a founding member of the oneworld alliance.[3][4] For 2025, American Airlines Group reported $54.633 billion in operating revenue and approximately 139,100 active full-time-equivalent employees at year-end.[5][6] Its Q2 2026 filing reported operating revenue of $16.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.[7] [1]+6

AAdvantage® is the company’s loyalty program. Members can earn miles through American and partner-airline travel, co-branded cards, and participating hotel and car-rental partners; miles can be used for travel and upgrades, as well as hotels, car rentals, cruises and other awards.[15][16] In 2025, AAdvantage members accounted for approximately 75% of premium revenue; this is a share of premium revenue, not total company revenue.[17] American also provides air-cargo services through American Airlines Cargo.[18][19]

Additional offerings include onboard Wi-Fi, which the company said is free for AAdvantage members on most aircraft, and lounge services including Flagship lounges and Admirals Club locations.[20]+3 For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, passenger revenue was $15.2 billion of $16.7 billion in total operating revenue—about 91%, calculated from the reported rounded figures—while cargo revenue increased 29.7% year over year. The company does not report revenue shares for individual cabins or most ancillary offerings.[23]+2 [8]+16

Geographic presence

American Airlines Group operates a domestic U.S. network and international services across Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Its hubs are in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.; its network also connects through partner gateways including London, Doha, Madrid, Sydney and Tokyo.[2] The company describes its network as serving more than 350 destinations in over 60 countries.[25]

For fiscal 2025, passenger revenue was $35.201 billion domestic and $14.442 billion international, out of $49.643 billion total passenger revenue—approximately 70.9% domestic and 29.1% international. International passenger revenue comprised Latin America ($6.444 billion), Atlantic ($6.583 billion) and Pacific ($1.415 billion). These percentages are shares of passenger revenue, not total company revenue; the company attributes passenger revenue geographically by the origin and destination of each flight segment.[26]

The company’s principal executive offices and headquarters are in Fort Worth, Texas. It also has regional reservation and administrative offices in the United States and abroad.[27] [2]+4

Business segments

American Airlines Group Inc. reports one operating segment, encompassing scheduled passenger and cargo air transportation and the AAdvantage loyalty program. The segment includes American’s domestic and international network, with service across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.[25]

Regional carriers operating as American Eagle are integrated into the network and are not reported as separate segments. Management does not treat geographic regions or mainline versus regional operations as separate segments for resource allocation.[25][28] Accordingly, the single reported segment represents the company’s consolidated segment operations; the cited disclosure does not give a separate percentage of consolidated revenue by segment.[25] [25][28]

Company history

American Airlines traces its origins to a 1926 airmail flight by Robertson Aircraft Corporation between Chicago and St. Louis. Following consolidations of several carriers in 1929–30, the company became American Airlines in 1934. It introduced the Douglas DC-3 in commercial service in 1936 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1939.[29][30]

American expanded its hub network around Dallas–Fort Worth from the late 1970s, establishing a hub there in 1981 and one in Chicago in 1982. It launched its AAdvantage frequent-flyer program in 1981 and was a founding member of the oneworld alliance, which began operating in 1999. In 2001, American acquired assets of Trans World Airlines (TWA) out of bankruptcy.[29]+3

After AMR Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2011, AMR and US Airways agreed to combine in 2013. The merger closed on December 9, 2013, forming American Airlines Group Inc., with American Airlines as its operating airline. Robert Isom succeeded Doug Parker as CEO in March 2022.[34]+2 [35]+7
