American Airlines

As we celebrate National Aviation Day during American’s centennial year, we're reflecting on the people who made this milestone possible.  Over the past century, only a handful of leaders have had the privilege of serving as CEO of American Airlines. While each brought a unique perspective, they all shared the same honor: leading the extraordinary team members who have carried this airline forward for 100 years. American's centennial is a testament to the dedication, professionalism and care of generations of team members who connected people to what matters most.  The story of flight is, in many ways, the story of American. And as we celebrate our first century, we're proud of the role our team has played in shaping aviation's past, present and future.    Here's to 100 years of caring for people on life's journey. And to the next 100. ✈️ 

We're enhancing our mainline narrowbody fleet with next-generation seatback entertainment, bringing larger displays, 4K picture quality, Bluetooth audio connectivity, USB-C fast charging and personalized entertainment features to every seat. Combined with high-speed connectivity and our premium onboard experience, this is another step forward in delivering an enhanced and enjoyable journey for our customers.

Proof that the next generation is already taking off. ✈️ This summer, our #AAInterns and co-ops got a firsthand look at the world of aviation — bringing curiosity, asking great questions and making a real impact along the way. They even traded the office for the frontline experience and learned what it takes to keep our customers moving during one of the busiest times of the year. Happy National Intern Day to a class we’ll be cheering on long after summer ends.
