Overview
In May 2008, American served 260 cities (excluding codeshares with partner
airlines) with 655 aircraft.[3] American carries more passengers between the
US and Latin America (12.1 million in 2004) than any other airline, and is
also strong in the trans/inter/intracontinental market. American Airlines'
total revenue for the year was $23.8 billion, of which $18.2 billion came
from its Mainline division, $2.49 billion from its Regional division, and
$874 million from cargo.[11]
American has four hubs: Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Chicago (ORD), Miami (MIA),
and New York (JFK).[1] Dallas/Fort Worth is the airline's largest hub, with
AA operating 85 percent of flights at the airport and traveling to more
destinations than from its other hubs. Los Angeles (LAX), St. Louis (STL),
San Juan (SJU), and Boston (BOS) serve as focus cities and international
gateways. American currently operates maintenance bases at Tulsa (TUL),
Kansas City (MCI), and Fort Worth Alliance (AFW), but American has announced
that the Kansas City base will close in September 2010.[12]
American Airlines has two regional affiliates:
* American Eagle Airlines, with hubs in Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Ft Worth, New
York LaGuardia, Los Angeles, Miami and San Juan providing regional feed to
American throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico.
* Chautauqua Airlines, operating as AmericanConnection, feeding American's
flights from its St. Louis hub.
American Airlines is a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance.[13] |
