Item 5.  Other Events

On  May  10, 2001, AMR Corporation (AMR or the Company) hosted  a
security  analyst  meeting  to discuss  the  recent  Trans  World
Airlines,  Inc.  (TWA) acquisition and to provide information  on
how  the  TWA transaction is expected to impact AMR.  The meeting
was  simultaneously webcast via the AMR website.   The  following
information was discussed at that meeting.


On  April  9, 2001, the Company (through a subsidiary of American
Airlines,  Inc. (American), a wholly owned subsidiary  of  AMR)
purchased substantially all of the assets of TWA for approximately
$625 million in cash (subject to certain working capital adjustments),
including   the  satisfaction  of  $312  million  in   debtor-in-
possession  financing which was funded by AMR.  The Company  also
assumed  certain  liabilities of TWA,  primarily  aircraft  lease
obligations.

As  part  of  the  acquisition of TWA, the Company  acquired  the
following assets:

-    A hub operation in St. Louis
-    Maintenance facilities in Kansas City, Los Angeles and  St. Louis
-    Approximately  18,000  highly trained professional line  employees
-    171 slots and leases on 138 gates
-    173 aircraft, comprised of the following fleet types:

     Equipment Type                  Owned   Leased   Total

    Boeing 717-200                     -       15      15
    Boeing 757-200                     -       27      27
    Boeing 767-300 Extended Range      -        9       9
    McDonnell Douglas DC-9             -       19      19
    McDonnell Douglas MD-80           17       86(1)  103
     Total                            17      156     173

    (1) American has agreed to purchase three leased McDonnell
        Douglas MD-80 aircraft

-     Firm aircraft purchase commitments for 15 Boeing 717-200 aircraft

The  Company  expects  to  realize  certain  synergies  from  the
acquisition of TWA.  On a steady state basis, the Company expects
to  generate  revenue  synergies of  approximately  $400  -  $500
million  annually (or an approximate two percent  improvement  in
unit  revenue),  primarily  driven by share  shift/city  presence
enhancements, yield improvements, scheduling efficiencies and the
elimination  of  certain discounted ticketing  agreements.   With
regard  to costs, although the Company expects annual labor  cost
increases   of  approximately  $260  million  as  a   result   of
transitioning TWA employees to American's contracts, the  Company
expects  to  recognize certain cost savings associated  with  the
acquisition.  These cost savings, estimated at approximately $350
million annually on a steady state basis, are driven primarily by
a  reduction  in rental expense from renegotiated aircraft  lease
obligations,  elimination of duplicative  overhead  and  facility
rentals, contract purchasing and the impact of the Company's fuel
hedging program on TWA's operations.  The foregoing are estimates
only and are based on the Company's current expectations.  Actual
revenue  synergies  and cost savings could vary  materially  from
these estimates.

In  addition,  the  Company expects to  incur  integration  costs
primarily over the next three years, mainly due to aircraft fleet
modifications, facility integration, training costs  and  certain
other integration-related items.

The  following represents the Company's estimates for TWA's  2001
operations (these estimates are based on current expectations and
could change materially based on market conditions or other factors):

 Revenue passenger miles (millions)   6,234    6,395    5,909    18,538

  *Includes the period from April 10, 2001 through June 30, 2001

Although  the Company does not expect the acquisition of  TWA  to
have  a  significantly  accretive  or  dilutive  impact  on   the
Company's  2001 earnings, the potential exists for some  earnings
reduction  if  the  underlying revenue environment  continues  to
soften as a result of lower demand for air travel.

In   addition,  the  integration  of  two  airlines  is  complex,
requiring  consideration  of computer systems,  customer  service
programs, labor issues and their interdependencies.  The  Company
may encounter customer service, labor or other issues as a result
of  its  acquisition  of TWA and in connection  with  integrating
TWA's operations into those of American.
