AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.The  accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial
  statements  have  been  prepared in accordance  with  generally
  accepted    accounting   principles   for   interim   financial
  information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and  Article
  10  of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
  the  information  and footnotes required by generally  accepted
  accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.   In
  the  opinion of management, these financial statements  contain
  all  adjustments,  consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals,
  necessary to present fairly the financial position, results  of
  operations  and  cash  flows for the  periods  indicated.   For
  further   information,  refer  to  the  consolidated  financial
  statements  and  footnotes  thereto included  in  the  American
  Airlines,  Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the  year  ended
  December 31, 1994.

2.Certain  amounts  from 1994 have been reclassified  to  conform
  with  the  1995  presentation, including cash  flows  resulting
  from certain transactions with affiliates.

3.In  July  1991,  American entered into  a  five-year  agreement
  whereby  American  transfers, on a continuing  basis  and  with
  recourse  to  the  receivables,  an  undivided  interest  in  a
  designated  pool  of receivables.  Undivided interests  in  new
  receivables   are  transferred  daily  as  collections   reduce
  previously  transferred receivables.   At  December  31,  1994,
  receivables are presented net of approximately $112 million  of
  such   transferred   receivables.   At  June   30,   1995,   no
  receivables were transferred under the terms of the agreement.

4.Accumulated  depreciation of owned equipment  and  property  at
  June  30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, was $5.4 billion and $5.2
  billion,  respectively.  Accumulated amortization of  equipment
  and  property  under  capital  leases  at  June  30,  1995  and
  December   31,  1994,  was  $862  million  and  $823   million,
  respectively.

5.In  April 1995, American announced an agreement to sell  12  of
  its   McDonnell  Douglas  MD-11  aircraft  to  Federal  Express
  Corporation  (FedEx),  with delivery of  the  aircraft  between
  1996  and 1999.  In addition, American has the option  to  sell
  its  remaining  seven MD-11 aircraft to FedEx  with  deliveries
  between  2000  and  2002.  At the same time the  two  companies
  signed  a  separate  six-year maintenance  contract  under  the
  terms  of  which American will perform work on FedEx's aircraft
  fleet.

6.Included  in  Passenger Revenues for the three and  six  months
  ended  June 30, 1994, is a favorable adjustment of $35  million
  produced  by  a change in the Company's estimate of  the  usage
  patterns  of  miles  awarded  by  participating  companies   in
  American's AAdvantage frequent flyer program.

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,
consisting of aircraft rentals, other rentals and landing  fees,
food  service  costs, maintenance costs and other  miscellaneous
operating   expenses  increased  10.1  percent,  $108   million,
primarily due to increases in contract maintenance expenses  and
increases in landing fees at certain locations.

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.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

American  has been sued in two class action cases that have  been
consolidated  in the Circuit Court of Cook County,  Illinois,  in
connection  with  certain changes made to  American's  AAdvantage
frequent  flyer program in May, 1988. (Wolens, et al v.  American
Airlines,  Inc., No. 88 CH 7554, and Tucker v. American Airlines,
Inc.,  No.  89  CH 199.)  In both cases, the plaintiffs  seek  to
represent  all  persons who joined the AAdvantage program  before
May  1988.   The  complaints allege that, on that date,  American
implemented changes that limited the number of seats available to
participants traveling on certain awards and established  holiday
blackout  dates  during  which  no  AAdvantage  seats  would   be
available  for certain awards.  The plaintiffs allege that  these
changes breached American's contracts with AAdvantage members and
were  in  violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and  Deceptive
Business  Practice  Act  (Consumer Fraud Act).   Plaintiffs  seek
money  damages  of an unspecified sum, punitive  damages,  costs,
attorneys  fees  and an injunction preventing  the  Company  from
making  any  future  changes  that  would  reduce  the  value  of
AAdvantage  benefits.  American moved to dismiss both complaints,
asserting  that the claims are preempted by the Federal  Aviation
Act and barred by the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

      The  trial court denied American's preemption motions,  but
certified  its  decision for interlocutory appeal.   In  December
1990,  the Illinois Appellate Court held that plaintiffs'  claims
for  an injunction are preempted by the Federal Aviation Act, but
that  plaintiffs'  claims for money damages  could  proceed.   On
March  12, 1992, the Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the decision
of  the  Appellate Court.  American sought a writ  of  certiorari
from  the U.S. Supreme Court; and on October 5, 1992, that  Court
vacated  the decision of the Illinois Supreme Court and  remanded
the  cases  for  reconsideration in light  of  the  U.S.  Supreme
Court's decision in Morales v. TWA, et al, which interpreted  the
preemption  provisions of the Federal Aviation Act very  broadly.
On  December  16, 1993, the Illinois Supreme Court  rendered  its
decision  on remand, holding that plaintiffs' claims  seeking  an
injunction   were  preempted,  but  that  identical  claims   for
compensatory  and  punitive  damages  were  not  preempted.    On
February  8,  1994,  American  filed  petition  for  a  writ   of
certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court.  The Illinois Supreme Court
granted  American's  motion to stay the  state  court  proceeding
pending  disposition of American's petition in the  U.S.  Supreme
Court.   The matter was argued before the U.S. Supreme  Court  on
November 1, 1994, and on January 18, 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court
issued its opinion ending a portion of the suit against American.
The  U.S.  Supreme  Court  held that  a)  plaintiffs'  claim  for
violation  of  the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act was  preempted  by
federal  law  --  entirely  ending that  part  of  the  case  and
eliminating  plaintiffs'  claim  for  punitive  damages;  and  b)
certain  breach  of  contract claims would not  be  preempted  by
federal  law.  The Court did not determine, however, whether  the
contract  claims  asserted  by  the  plaintiffs  in  Wolens  were
preempted, and therefore remanded the case to the state court for
further proceedings.  In the event that the plaintiffs' breach of
contract  claim is eventually permitted to proceed in  the  state
court, American intends to vigorously defend the case.
