Announcements

» Tom Horton Provides Update on Restructuring Progress

In a Special Jetwire issued earlier today, Tom provided an update as the company reaches the “home stretch” of its restructuring. “Thanks to the hard work of our entire team, these results are remarkable,” Tom said. “Today we filed our Monthly Operating Report for April. I’m pleased to report that, excluding reorganization and special items, we posted a very strong improvement to our bottom line. And if current trends continue, we are well on our way to a strongly profitable second quarter.”

Tom also discussed our new aircraft deliveries, new routes recently launched and customer experience enhancements, such as the new Flagship check-in at JFK. He concluded with a note about our operational success and what it means for the new American’s bright future. “From January through April, you have achieved an on-time arrival rate of over 78 percent. And our completion factor was 98.3 percent, which is the best performance in seven years. All of this is building great momentum heading into our merger with US Airways to create the world’s leading airline. The transformation of American is a direct result of your hard work and unwavering focus on our customers every day. You are putting American back on top.”

Denver Starts New Arrivals, Departures Procedures for NextGen

Denver International Airport has fully implemented its new arrival and departure procedures, the next phase in the Federal Aviation Administration’s mass overhaul of U.S. airspace, called NextGen. Denver is among the airports at the front end of the adoption process. The entire program is a wide-ranging, comprehensive transformation of the navigation system for the national airspace, expected to span several decades and require participation from airports, airlines, air traffic control and other stakeholders. NextGen essentially shifts the air traffic control system from ground-based radar to satellite-based navigation – relying on GPS. The FAA’s goal is to speed up systemwide traffic.
