AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements

1. American  Airlines, Inc. (American) is a wholly-owned  subsidiary
   of  AMR  Corporation (AMR).  In the opinion of management,  these
   financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments  necessary   to
   present fairly the financial position, results of operations  and
   cash flows for the periods indicated.  Such adjustments are of  a
   normal  recurring  nature except as disclosed.   These  financial
   statements  and related notes should be read in conjunction  with
   the  financial  statements  and  notes  contained  in  American's
   Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

2. Passenger  revenues for the three and six months ended  June  30,
   1994,  include  a $35 million favorable adjustment  ($22  million
   after tax) produced by a change in the Company's estimate of  the
   usage  patterns  of  miles  sold to  participating  companies  in
   American's   AAdvantage   frequent  flyer   program.    Passenger
   Revenues  for  the  three and six months  ended  June  30,  1993,
   reflect a $115 million favorable adjustment ($67 million  net  of
   related commission expense and taxes) resulting from a change  in
   estimate relating to certain earned passenger revenues.

3. Included  in  Miscellaneous - net for the three  and  six  months
   ended  June 30, 1993, is a $125 million charge ($79 million after
   tax)  related to the retirement of 31 DC-10 aircraft.  The charge
   represents  the  Company's best estimate  of  the  expected  loss
   based  upon  the  anticipated method  of  disposition.   However,
   should  the  ultimate method of disposition  differ,  the  actual
   loss could be different than the amount estimated.

4. Accumulated depreciation of owned equipment and property at  June
   30,  1994  and  December  31, 1993, was  $4.9  billion  and  $4.7
   billion,  respectively.   Accumulated amortization  of  equipment
   and  property under capital leases at June 30, 1994 and  December
   31, 1993, was $761 million and $707 million, respectively.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
          ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

American's results for the six months ended June 30, 1994, reflected
the improved performance of the Company's Passenger and SABRE Travel
Information  Network  (STIN)  divisions.   The  Company's  plan   to
maximize Passenger division revenue per available seat mile (ASM) by
reducing  capacity and optimizing the deployment  of  flight  assets
resulted  in a 2.5 percent reduction in passenger traffic on  a  7.1
percent  decline  in  ASMs.   As  a result,  passenger  load  factor
increased  2.9 points and revenue per ASM improved by  2.4  percent.
Average   stage   length   increased  approximately   6.0   percent,
contributing to a decline in Passenger division yield since fares on
longer  trips  tend  to be lower on a per ASM basis.   In  addition,
yields continued to be hampered by competitive fare actions and  the
impact  of  low  fare carriers in certain domestic markets.   STIN's
improved performance resulted from increased booking volumes and  an
increase in the average fee per booking.

Operating  costs  decreased 4.3 percent,  driven  primarily  by  the
impact of reduced capacity and a decline in fuel prices.

The  results for the six months ended June 30, 1994, include  a  $35
million  favorable adjustment ($22 million after tax)  to  passenger
revenues produced by a change in the Company's estimate of the usage
patterns  of  miles  sold to participating companies  in  American's
AAdvantage frequent flyer program.

The  results for the six months ended June 30, 1993, included a $125
million  charge  ($79 million after tax) for the  retirement  of  31
McDonnell  Douglas  DC10  aircraft  and  a  positive  $115   million
adjustment ($67 million net of related commission expense and taxes)
to  passenger revenues for a change in estimate related  to  certain
earned passenger revenues.



For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993

American  recorded net earnings of $169 million for the  six  months
ended June 30, 1994.  For the same period in 1993, American recorded
net  earnings of $61 million.  Operating income was $477 million  in
the 1994 six months compared to $413 million in the 1993 six months.

American's operating revenues decreased 3.2 percent to $7.3  billion
and passenger revenues decreased 4.8 percent to $6.3 billion.  Yield
decreased 2.3 percent to 13.44 cents compared to the same period  of
1993.   Domestic  yields were moderately lower  while  international
yields improved in every region except the Pacific.

Traffic  or revenue passenger miles (RPMs) decreased 2.5 percent  to
46.8  billion  miles for the six months ended June  30,  1994.   The
decrease  is  primarily due to reductions in  capacity  as  the  jet
aircraft fleet decreased from 687 at June 30, 1993, to 650  at  June
30,  1994.  From the first six months of 1993 to the same period  in
1994, domestic traffic decreased 4.1 percent from 34.9 billion  RPMs
to  33.5 billion RPMs.  International traffic grew 1.7 percent  from
13.1  billion  RPMs to 13.4 billion RPMs.  The major growth  was  in
Latin  America,  where  traffic increased 8.8  percent  on  capacity
growth  of  0.4 percent. In Europe, traffic fell 4.5  percent  on  a
capacity decrease of 10.9 percent.

Cargo  revenues increased 1.3 percent to $317 million, reflecting  a
7.2  percent  increase in cargo ton miles offset by  a  4.4  percent
decrease  in revenue yield per ton mile.  Growth in cargo ton  miles
is  primarily attributable to our Europe and Latin America  markets,
combined with steady increases in postal volumes.

Other revenues increased 11.5 percent to $659 million primarily as a
result  of  the improved performance of STIN and increased  revenues
from aircraft maintenance contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Capacity  or  available passenger seat miles  (ASMs)  decreased  7.1
percent  to 74.7 billion miles in the first half of 1994.  Operating
expenses  decreased 4.3 percent to $6.8 billion from the six  months
ended June 30, 1993, to the same period in 1994.  Passenger division
cost  per  ASM increased 2.0 percent to 8.51 cents.  Wages, salaries
and benefits rose 1.7 percent to $2.5 billion, resulting from salary
adjustments  for  existing  employees  and  rising  health-care  and
pension  costs,  offset  by  headcount  reductions.   Aircraft  fuel
expense  decreased 19.9 percent to $755 million due to a 9.1 percent
decrease  in  gallons  consumed and  an  11.8  percent  decrease  in
American's  average  price  per  gallon.   Commissions   to   agents
decreased  7.2  percent  to $635 million,  due  principally  to  the
decrease in passenger revenues subject to commissions.  Additions of
new  aircraft and the acquisitions of other capital equipment raised
depreciation  and  amortization 6.6 percent to $581  million.   Food
service  costs  decreased 5.2 percent to $330  million  due  to  the
decrease  in  passenger traffic.  Maintenance materials and  repairs
costs  decreased  20.9  percent  to  $227  million  reflecting   the
retirement   of   older  jet  aircraft  and  increased   operational
efficiencies.   Other operating expenses decreased  5.1  percent  to
$1.1 billion primarily due to the decrease in capacity.

Interest  expense  decreased  12.5  percent  to  $189  million   due
primarily to a decrease in rates on external debt and a decrease  in
the   outstanding  balance  of  intercompany  debt  due  to  parent.
Included  in Miscellaneous - net for the six months ended  June  30,
1993,  is a charge of $125 million related to the retirement  of  31
McDonnell Douglas DC10 aircraft.
