MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

American recorded net earnings for the first six months of  1995
of  $248  million.   This compares to a  net  earnings  of  $169
million  for  the  same period last year.  American's  operating
income  was  $707  million  for the first  six  months  of  1995
compared to $477 million for the first six months of 1994.

American's  passenger  revenues increased by 3.9  percent,  $243
million  during  the first six months of 1995  versus  the  same
period  last  year.   American's yield (the average  amount  one
passenger pays to fly one mile) of 13.12 cents decreased  by 2.4
percent  compared  to the same period in 1994.  Domestic  yields
decreased  4.2  percent  from the  first  six  months  of  1994.
International  yields increased 2.3 percent over the  first  six
months  of  1994, due principally to a 10.1 percent increase  in
Europe  partially  offset  by a 4.6 percent  decrease  in  Latin
America.

American's  traffic or revenue passenger miles (RPMs)  increased
6.5  percent to 49.8 billion miles for the six months ended June
30,  1995.   American's capacity or available seat miles  (ASMs)
increased  2.0  percent to 76.1 billion miles in the  first  six
months of 1995, primarily as a result of increases in jet  stage
length  and  aircraft productivity.  Jet stage length  increased
8.4  percent  and aircraft  productivity, as measured  by  miles
flown per aircraft  per day, increased 5.5 percent compared with
the  first  six  months  of 1994.  American's  domestic  traffic
increased  5.2 percent on capacity decreases of 0.7 percent  and
international traffic grew 9.7 percent on capacity increases  of
9.1 percent.  The change in international traffic was driven  by
a  13.6 percent increase in traffic to Latin America on capacity
growth of 12.4 percent, and a 7.1 percent increase in traffic to
Europe on a capacity increase of 6.7 percent.

Other  Airline  Group  revenues  increased  16.6  percent,   $49
million, primarily due to contract maintenance work performed by
American for other airlines.

Information Services Group revenues increased 10.0 percent,  $66
million,  primarily due to increased booking fee  volume,  which
was  positively impacted by international expansion  in  Europe,
Latin  America and India, and increased sales of premium  priced
products.

On  April  29, 1995 a hailstorm at American's Dallas/Fort  Worth
hub temporarily disabled approximately ten percent of American's
fleet,  forcing American to reduce scheduled service during  the
entire  month  of  May.  This adversely impacted  the  carrier's
revenue  and  cost  performance.  The impact  of  the  hailstorm
reduced  American's second quarter net income  by  approximately
$17 million.

American's  operating  expenses  increased  2.3  percent,   $156
million.   Passenger  Division cost per  ASM  increased  by  0.5
percent to 8.46 cents.  Wages, salaries and  benefits  rose  3.0
percent,  $76  million, due primarily to provisions  for  profit
sharing   and  salary  adjustments  for  existing  employees   ,
partially  offset  by  a 2.0 percent reduction  in  the  average
number of equivalent employees.  Aircraft fuel expense decreased
0.7  percent,  $5  million, due to a  1.3  percent  decrease  in
American's average price per gallon partially offset  by  a  0.7
percent  increase in gallons consumed by American.   Commissions
to agents decreased 3.3 percent, $21 million, due principally to
a  lower  percentage  of revenue subject  to  agent  commissions
combined  with  a  reduction in average  rates  paid  to  agents
attributable  primarily  to the change in  commission  structure
implemented   in   February  1995.   Other  operating   expenses
increased  10.1 percent, $108 million, due to increased  traffic
and increases in contract maintenance expenses.

Other  Income  (Expense) increased 44.8 percent or $90  million.
Interest  expense  (net of amounts capitalized)  increased  $111
million due primarily to the effect of rising interest rates  on
floating  rate  debt  and interest rate swap  agreements  and  a
change in the terms of the subordinated note agreement with AMR.
Effective  September 30, 1994, the subordinated promissory  note
bears interest based on the weighted average rate on AMR's long-
term  debt  and preferred stock.  Prior to September  30,  1994,
interest  on  the  subordinated note was  based  on  the  London
Interbank  Offered  Rate  (LIBOR).   The  increase  in  interest
expense  was  partially  offset by a  $10  million  increase  in
interest   income  attributable  to  higher  average  investment
balances and higher average rates.
