  December 31, 1995.

2.Certain  amounts  from 1995 have been reclassified to  conform  with
  the 1996 presentation.

3.Accumulated  depreciation of owned equipment and property  at  March
  31,  1996  and December 31, 1995, was $5.6 billion and $5.4 billion,
  respectively.   Accumulated amortization of equipment  and  property
  under  capital leases at March 31, 1996 and December 31,  1995,  was
  $788 million and $778 million, respectively.

4.As  discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial  statements
  included  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for  the  year
  ended  December 31, 1995, the Miami International Airport  Authority
  is  currently remediating various environmental conditions at  Miami
  International  Airport (Airport) and funding the  remediation  costs
  through  landing fee revenues.  Some of the costs of the remediation
  effort  may be borne by carriers currently operating at the Airport,
  including  American, through increased landing fees.   The  ultimate
  resolution  of  this  matter is not expected to have  a  significant
  impact on the financial position or liquidity of American.

5.On  April  17,  1996,  the  Company  announced  that  the  Board  of
  Directors  of  AMR  Corporation (AMR) and American  had  approved  a
  reorganization  of  The  SABRE  Group as  a  separate,  wholly-owned
  subsidiary  of AMR subject to the receipt of a favorable tax  ruling
  and  certain other conditions.  This reorganization will involve the
  dividend  of  American's  SABRE Travel  Information  Network,  SABRE
  Computer  Services, SABRE Development Services and SABRE Interactive
  divisions  (collectively, the Information Services  Group)  to  AMR.
  Subject  to  meeting the conditions noted above, the  reorganization
  should  be  completed  sometime  during  the  third  quarter.    The
  business units comprising the Information Services Group along  with
  certain other units of AMR form The SABRE Group, one of AMR's  three
  major lines of business.

  Operating  income  for  the  Information  Services  Group  was  $118
  million  and $115 million for the three months ended March 31,  1996
  and   1995,   respectively.   Selected  financial   data   for   the
  Information  Services Group for the years ended December  31,  1995,
  1994  and  1993 is included in Note 12 to the consolidated financial
  statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for
  the  year  ended  December 31, 1995.  It is  anticipated  that  upon
  completion  of  the  reorganization approximately  $850  million  of
  American's  debt  owed  to  AMR will be replaced  by  an  equivalent
  amount  of  debt  owed to AMR by The SABRE Group,  thereby  reducing
  American's  annual  interest  costs  --  and  increasing  The  SABRE
  Group's annual interest costs -- by approximately $50-60 million.

  AMR  also  continues  to  study,  as  it  has  in  the  past,  other
  transactions  which may involve The SABRE Group, such  as  strategic
  partnerships  or  an initial public offering of  a  portion  of  The
  SABRE Group's stock.  No decisions, however, have been made at  this
  time as to what, if any, transactions involving The SABRE Group  may
  occur after the reorganization is complete.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

6.In   April   of  1996,  American  and  The  SABRE  Group   completed
  negotiations  on  the  economics  of  a  new  market  rate  services
  agreement  between  the two business units, pursuant  to  which  The
  SABRE  Group  performs  data processing and solutions  services  for
  American.  The new agreement will reflect the recent downward  trend
  in  market  prices for such data processing services.  Additionally,
  the  two  business units completed negotiations on the economics  of
  new  agreements  covering the provision of air  travel  and  certain
  marketing  services  by  American to  The  SABRE  Group.   As  these
  agreements  will be effective retroactive to January 1, 1996,  their
  estimated  impact  has been reflected in the consolidated  statement
  of operations.

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

Results of Operations

American  recorded net earnings for the three months ended March  31,
1996,  of $150 million.  This compares to net earnings of $56 million
for first quarter 1995.  American's operating income was $358 million
for  first quarter 1996 compared with $251 million for first  quarter
1995.

American's  passenger   revenues increased by 6.4  percent,  or  $197
million.  American's yield (the average amount one passenger pays  to
fly one mile) of 13.34 cents increased by 2.9 percent compared to the
same  period  in  1995.  Domestic yields increased 4.0  percent  from
first quarter 1995, while international yields were up 0.6 percent.

American's  traffic or revenue passenger miles (RPMs)  increased  3.3
percent  to 24.6 billion miles for the quarter ended March 31,  1996.
American's  capacity  or available seat miles  (ASMs)  increased  0.4
percent to 37.6 billion miles in the first quarter of 1996, primarily
as   a   result  of  increases  in  jet  stage  length  and  aircraft
productivity.   Jet stage length increased 8.7 percent  and  aircraft
productivity,  as  measured  by miles flown  per  aircraft  per  day,
increased  2.1 percent compared with first quarter 1995.   American's
domestic traffic increased 0.9 percent on capacity decreases  of  1.9
percent  and  international  traffic grew  9.4  percent  on  capacity
increases of 6.3 percent.  The increase in international traffic  was
led  by  a  13.4  percent increase in traffic to Europe  on  capacity
growth of 5.1 percent, and a 5.6 percent increase in traffic to Latin
America on capacity growth of 7.2 percent.

Although  not  quantifiable, some portion of  the  passenger  revenue
increase is attributable to the January 1, 1996 expiration of the ten
percent federal excise tax on airline travel.

Airline  Group  other revenues increased 21.5 percent,  $34  million,
primarily due to contract maintenance work performed by American  for
other  airlines.  The new agreement covering air travel to be  signed
by  American  and  The  SABRE Group discussed in  Note  6,  increased
American's other revenues by $4 million.

Information  Services  Group  revenues increased  10.3  percent,  $36
million,  primarily  due to higher booking fee prices  and  increased
volumes.   Absent the new technology services agreement to be  signed
by  American  and  The SABRE Group as discussed in Note  6,  revenues
would have increased an additional $8 million.

American's operating expenses increased 5.0 percent, or $169 million.
Jet  Airline  cost per ASM increased by 3.5 percent  to  8.97  cents.
Wages,  salaries  and  benefits rose 5.5 percent,  $69  million,  due
primarily to contractual wage rate and seniority increases  that  are
built  into  the  Company's labor contracts and an  increase  in  the
provision for profit sharing, partially offset by a decrease  due  to
the outsourcing of certain services.  Aircraft fuel expense increased
16.2  percent, $59 million, due to a 9.1 cent increase in  American's
average  price per gallon, which includes the impact of  the  October
1995  expiration of the fuel tax exemption for the airline  industry.
Maintenance materials and repairs expense increased 13.6 percent, $16
million,  due to the maturing of the Boeing 757 and 767  fleets,  the
timing  of  scheduled  maintenance occurring in  first  quarter  1996
compared  to  first quarter 1995, and maintenance work  performed  in
first quarter 1996 on certain Boeing 727 aircraft purchased off lease
in  late 1995.  Other operating expenses increased 11.2 percent,  $59
million,  primarily due to an increase in outsourced services,  costs
associated  with  increased contract maintenance work  performed  for
other airlines, and adverse winter weather.

Other  Income  (Expense)  decreased  29.1  percent  or  $44  million.
Interest  expense  decreased $34 million primarily due  to  scheduled
debt  repayments  and  the  retirement of  debt  prior  to  scheduled
maturity.
