PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
AMR Corporation (AMR or the Company) was incorporated in October 1982. AMR's
principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc. (American), was founded in 1934.
With the expansion of, and increased strategic focus on, its information
technology businesses, AMR formed The SABRE Technology Group -- later renamed
The SABRE Group -- during 1993 to capitalize on the synergies of combining
these businesses under common management. To highlight the Company's
non-airline activities, this report, for the first time, presents their
financial results separately from those of the airline. For financial
reporting purposes, AMR's operations fall within three major lines of business:
the Air Transportation Group, The SABRE Group and the AMR Management Services
Group.
AIR TRANSPORTATION GROUP
The Air Transportation Group consists primarily of American's Passenger and
Cargo divisions and AMR Eagle, Inc., a subsidiary of AMR.
AMERICAN'S PASSENGER DIVISION is one of the largest scheduled passenger
airlines in the world. At the end of 1993, American provided scheduled jet
service to 106 cities in the U.S. mainland and Hawaii, 28 in Latin America, 14
in Europe and 24 other destinations worldwide, including service to six cities
provided through cooperative agreements with other airlines.
AMERICAN'S CARGO DIVISION provides a full range of freight and mail services to
shippers throughout the airline's system. In addition, through cooperative
agreements with other carriers, it has the ability to transport shipments to
virtually any country in the world.
AMR EAGLE, INC. owns the four regional airlines which operate as "American
Eagle" -- Flagship Airlines, Inc., Simmons Airlines, Inc., Executive Airlines,
Inc., and Wings West Airlines, Inc. The Eagles' turboprop service complements
American's jet service with nearly 1,700 scheduled flights per day,
transporting passengers and cargo to 170 cities in the continental U.S., the
Bahamas and the Caribbean.
THE SABRE GROUP
The SABRE Group includes SABRE Travel Information Network (STIN), SABRE
Computer Services (SCS) and SABRE Development Services (SDS), which are
divisions of American, and AMR Information Services (AMRIS) and American
Airlines Decision Technologies (AADT), which are subsidiaries of AMR.
STIN provides travel reservation services through its computer reservation
system, SABRE -- one of the largest privately owned, real-time computer systems
in the world.
SCS manages AMR's data processing centers, voice and data communications
networks and local-area computer networks worldwide.
SDS provides applications development, software solutions, consulting, and
other technology services to other AMR units.
AMRIS offers a full range of information management services, including
complete systems development, network design and management, telemarketing,
reservations services and systems, technical training and data management
services.
AADT specializes in providing decision support systems, software packages,
systems development and consulting services to companies in the transportation
and travel industries, as well as other industries worldwide.
In 1994, SABRE Decision Technologies was formed with the combination of AADT,
SDS and certain other business units within The SABRE Group.

AMR MANAGEMENT SERVICES GROUP
The AMR Management Services Group consists of five AMR subsidiaries -- AMR
Services Corporation, AMR Leasing Corporation, Americas Ground Services, Inc.
(AGS), AMR Investment Services, Inc. and AMR Training & Consulting Group, Inc.
(AMRTCG).
AMR SERVICES CORPORATION has three major operating divisions: Airline
Services, AMR Combs and AMR Distribution Systems. The Airline Services
Division performs airline ground and cargo handling, cabin service and an array
of other air transportation-related services for numerous carriers around the
world. AMR Combs provides comprehensive executive aviation services at 11
fixed-base operations. AMR Distribution Systems serves the logistics
marketplace and specializes in contract warehousing, trucking and multi- modal
freight forwarding services.
AMR LEASING CORPORATION, a financing subsidiary, leases regional aircraft to
subsidiaries of AMR Eagle.
AGS was incorporated in 1993. It provides airline ground and cabin service
handling in 13 locations in the Caribbean and Central and South America.
AMR INVESTMENT SERVICES, INC. serves as an investment advisor to AMR and other
institutional investors. It also manages the American AAdvantage Funds, which
have both institutional shareholders, including pension funds and bank and
trust companies, and individual shareholders. AMR Investment Services is
responsible for management of approximately $12.2 billion in assets, including
direct management of approximately $5.2 billion in short-term investments.
AMRTCG was formed in 1992. It provides a full range of training and management
consulting services for the aviation and transportation industries worldwide.
Additional information regarding business segments is included in Management's
Discussion and Analysis on pages 16 through 21 and in Note 13 to the
consolidated financial statements.
ROUTES AND COMPETITION
AIR TRANSPORTATION Service over almost all of the Air Transportation Group's
routes is highly competitive. Currently, any carrier deemed fit by the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) is free to operate scheduled passenger
service between any two points within the U.S. and its possessions. On most of
its routes, American competes with at least one, and usually more than one,
major domestic airline including: America West Airlines, Continental Airlines,
Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Trans World Airlines,
United Airlines, and USAir. American also competes with national, regional,
all-cargo, and charter carriers and, particularly on shorter segments, ground
transportation.
Most major air carriers have developed hub-and-spoke systems and schedule
patterns in an effort to maximize revenue potential of their service. American
currently operates six domestic hubs: Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O'Hare,
Miami, Raleigh/Durham, Nashville, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. During 1993,
American closed its hub operation at San Jose, California. United Airlines and
Delta Airlines have large operations at American's Chicago and Dallas/Fort
Worth hubs, respectively.
The American Eagle carriers increase the number of markets the Air
Transportation Group serves by providing connections to American at its hubs
and certain other major airports. Simmons Airlines, Inc. serves Dallas/Fort
Worth and Chicago. Flagship Airlines, Inc. serves Miami, Raleigh/Durham,
Nashville, and New York John F. Kennedy International Airport. Executive
Airlines, Inc. serves San Juan. Wings West Airlines, Inc. serves Los Angeles,
Orange County and selected other airports in the western U.S. American's
competitors also own or have marketing agreements with regional carriers which
provide service at their major hubs.
-2-
<PAGE> 4
In addition to its extensive domestic service, American provides service
to and from cities in various other countries, primarily across North, Central
and South America and Europe. In 1991, American added service to 20 cities in
15 countries in Latin America with the acquisition of route authorities from
Eastern Air Lines. In 1992, American added service from several U.S. gateway
cities to London's Heathrow Airport with the acquisition of Trans World
Airlines' route authorities. American's operating revenues from foreign
operations were approximately $3.9 billion in 1993, $3.7 billion in 1992 and
$2.7 billion in 1991. Additional information about the Company's foreign
operations is included in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Competition in international markets is generally subject to more
extensive government regulation than domestic markets. In these markets,
American competes with foreign-investor owned and national flag carriers and
U.S. carriers that have been granted authority to provide scheduled passenger
and cargo service between the U.S. and various overseas locations. American's
operating authority in these markets is subject to aviation agreements between
the U.S. and the respective countries, and in some cases, fares and schedules
require the approval of the DOT and the relevant foreign governments. Because
international air transportation is governed by bilateral or other agreements
between the U.S. and the foreign country or countries involved, changes in U.S.
or foreign government aviation policy could result in the alteration or
termination of such agreements, diminish the value of such route authorities,
or otherwise affect American's international operations. Bilateral relations
between the U.S. and various foreign countries served by American are currently
being renegotiated.
On all of its routes, the Air Transportation Group's pricing decisions
are affected by competition from other airlines, some of which have cost
structures significantly lower than American's and can therefore operate
profitably at lower fare levels. American and its principal competitors use
inventory and yield management systems that permit them to vary the number of
discount seats offered on each flight in an effort to maximize revenues.
The Air Transportation Group believes that it has several advantages
relative to its competition. Its fleet is young, efficient and quiet. It has
a comprehensive domestic and international route structure, anchored by
efficient hubs, which permit it to take full advantage of whatever traffic
growth occurs. The Company believes American's AAdvantage frequent flyer
program, which is the largest program in the industry, and its superior service
also give it a competitive advantage.
The major domestic carriers have some advantage over foreign competitors
in their ability to generate traffic from their extensive domestic route
systems. In many cases, however, U.S. carriers are limited in their rights to
carry passengers beyond designated gateway cities in foreign countries. Some
of American's foreign competitors are owned and subsidized by foreign
governments. To improve their access to each others markets, various U.S. and
foreign carriers have made substantial equity investments in, or established
marketing relationships with, other carriers.
COMPUTER RESERVATION SYSTEMS The complexity of the various schedules and
fares offered by air carriers has fostered the development of electronic
distribution systems. Travel agents and other subscribers access travel
information and book airline, hotel and car rental reservations and issue
airline tickets using these systems. American developed the SABRE computer
reservation system (CRS), which is the one of the largest CRSs in the world.
Competition among the CRS vendors is strong. Services similar to those offered
through SABRE are offered by several air carriers and other companies in the
U.S. and abroad, including: the Covia Partnership, owned by United Airlines,
USAir and various foreign carriers; Worldspan, owned by Delta Airlines,
Northwest Airlines, Trans World Airlines, and ABACUS Distribution Systems; and
System One, owned by Continental Airlines.
The SABRE CRS has several advantages relative to its competition. The
Company believes that SABRE ranks first in market share among travel agents in
the U.S. The SABRE CRS is furthering its expansion into international markets
and continues to be in the forefront of technological innovation in the CRS
industry.

REGULATION
GENERAL The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 (Act) and various other statutes
amending the Act, eliminated most domestic economic regulation of passenger and
freight transportation. However, the DOT and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) still exercise certain regulatory authority over air
carriers under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. The DOT maintains
jurisdiction over international route authorities and certain consumer
protection matters, such as advertising, denied boarding compensation, baggage
liability, and computer reservations systems. The DOT issued certain rules
governing the CRS industry which became effective on December 7, 1992, and
expire on December 31, 1997.
The FAA regulates flying operations generally, including establishing
personnel, aircraft and security standards. In addition, the FAA has
implemented a number of requirements that the Air Transportation Group is
incorporating into its maintenance program. These matters relate to, among
other things, inspection and maintenance of aging aircraft, corrosion control,
collision avoidance and windshear detection. Based on its current
implementation schedule, the Air Transportation Group expects to be in
compliance with the applicable requirements within the required time periods.
The U.S. Department of Justice has jurisdiction over airline antitrust
matters. The U.S. Postal Service has jurisdiction over certain aspects of the
transportation of mail and related services. Labor relations in the air
transportation industry are regulated under the Railway Labor Act, which vests
in the National Mediation Board certain regulatory powers with respect to
disputes between airlines and labor unions arising under collective bargaining
agreements.
FARES Airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic fares without
governmental regulation, and the industry is characterized by substantial price
competition. The DOT maintains authority over international fares, rates and
charges. International fares and rates are also subject to the jurisdiction of
the governments of the foreign countries which American serves. While air
carriers are required to file and adhere to international fare and rate
tariffs, many international markets are characterized by substantial
commissions, overrides, and discounts to travel agents, brokers and
wholesalers.
Fare discounting by competitors has historically had a negative effect on
American's financial results because American is generally required to match
competitors' fares to maintain passenger traffic. During recent years, a
number of new low-cost airlines have entered the domestic market and several
major airlines have begun to implement efforts to lower their cost structures.
Further fare reductions, domestic and international, may occur in the future.
If fare reductions are not offset by increases in passenger traffic or changes
in the mix of traffic that improves yields, the Air Transportation Group's
operating results will be negatively impacted.
AIRPORT ACCESS The FAA has designated four of the nation's airports --
Chicago O'Hare, New York Kennedy, New York LaGuardia, and Washington National
- -- as "high density traffic airports" and has limited the number of take-offs
and landings per hour, known as slots, during peak demand time periods at these
airports. Currently, the FAA permits the purchasing, selling and trading of
these slots by airlines and others, subject to certain restrictions. During
1993, the DOT issued final rules allowing air carriers to convert up to 50
percent of their commuter slots at Chicago O'Hare for use by jets with fewer
than 110 seats. Certain foreign airports, including London Heathrow, a major
European destination for American, also have slot allocations.
The Air Transportation Group currently has sufficient slot authorizations
to operate its existing flights and has generally been able to obtain slots to
expand its operations and change its schedules. There is no assurance,
however, that the Air Transportation Group will be able to obtain slots for
these purposes in the future, because, among other factors, slot allocations
are subject to changes in government policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to various laws and government
regulations concerning environmental matters and employee safety and health in
the U.S. and other countries. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact
on the Company include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA), the
Clean Air Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (CERCLA or the Superfund). The Company is also subject to the
oversight of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) concerning
employee safety and health matters. The U.S. Environmental Protection
-4-
<PAGE> 6
Agency (EPA), OSHA, and other federal agencies have been authorized to
promulgate regulations that have an impact on the Company's operations. In
addition to these federal activities, various states have been delegated
certain authorities under the aforementioned federal statutes. Many state and
local governments have adopted environmental and employee safety and health
laws and regulations, some of which are similar to federal requirements. As a
part of its continuing environmental program, the Company has maintained
compliance with such requirements without any material adverse effect on its
business.
The ANCA requires the phase-out by December 31, 1999, of Stage II
aircraft operations, subject to certain exceptions. Under final regulations
issued by the FAA in 1991, air carriers are required to reduce, by modification
or retirement, the number of Stage II aircraft in their fleets 25 percent by
December 31, 1994; 50 percent by December 31, 1996; 75 percent by December 31,
1998, and 100 percent by December 31, 1999. Alternatively, a carrier may
satisfy the regulations by operating a fleet that is at least 55 percent, 65
percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent Stage III by the dates set forth in the
preceding sentence, respectively.
The ANCA recognizes the rights of airport operators with noise problems
to implement local noise abatement programs so long as they do not interfere
unreasonably with interstate or foreign commerce or the national air
transportation system. Authorities in several cities have promulgated aircraft
noise reduction programs, including the imposition of night-time curfews. The
ANCA generally requires FAA approval of local noise restrictions on Stage III
aircraft first effective after October 1990, and establishes a regulatory
notice and review process for local restrictions on Stage II aircraft first
proposed after October 1990. At December 31, 1993, approximately 83 percent of
American's fleet was Stage III. While American has had sufficient scheduling
flexibility to accommodate local noise restrictions imposed to date, American's
operations could be adversely affected if locally- imposed regulations become
more restrictive or widespread.
The Clean Air Act provides that state and local governments may not adopt
or enforce aircraft emission standards unless those standards are identical to
the federal standards. The engines on American's aircraft meet the EPA's
turbine engine emissions standards.
American has been identified by the EPA as a potentially responsible
party (PRP) with respect to the following Superfund Sites: Operating
Industries, Inc., California; Cannons, New Hampshire; Byron Barrel and Drum,
New York; Palmer PSC, Massachusetts; Frontier Chemical, New York and Duffy
Brothers, Massachusetts. American has settled the Operating Industries,
Cannons and Byron Barrel and Drum matters, and all that remains to complete
these matters are administrative tasks. With respect to the Palmer PSC,
Frontier Chemical and Duffy Brothers sites, American is one of several PRPs
named at each site. Although they are Superfund Sites, American's alleged
waste disposal is minor compared to the other PRPs.
AMR Combs Memphis, an AMR Services subsidiary, has been named a PRP at an
EPA Superfund Site in West Memphis, Tennessee. AMR Combs Memphis' alleged
involvement in the site is minor relative to the other PRPs.
Flagship Airlines, Inc. an AMR Eagle subsidiary, has been notified of its
potential liability under New York law at an Inactive Hazardous Waste site in
Poughkeepsie, New York.
AMR does not expect these matters, individually or collectively, to have
a material impact on its financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
LABOR
The airline business is labor intensive. On December 31, 1993, AMR had
approximately 118,900 employees, approximately 95,800 of whom were American's
employees. Wages, salaries and benefits represented nearly 36 percent of AMR's
consolidated operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1993. To
improve its competitive position, American has undertaken various steps to
reduce its unit labor costs, including workforce reductions.
The majority of American's employees are represented by labor unions and
covered by collective bargaining agreements. American's relations with such
labor organizations are governed by the Railway Labor Act. Under this act, the
collective bargaining agreements among American and these organizations become
-5-
<PAGE> 7
amendable upon the expiration of their stated term. If either party wishes to
modify the terms of any such agreement, it must notify the other party before
the contract becomes amendable. After receipt of such notice, the parties must
meet for direct negotiations, and if no agreement is reached, either party may
request that a federal mediator be appointed. If no agreement is reached in
mediation, the National Mediation Board may determine, at any time, that an
impasse exists and may proffer arbitration. Either party may decline to submit
to arbitration. If arbitration is rejected, a 30-day "cooling-off" period
commences, following which the labor organization may strike and the airline
may resort to "self-help," including the imposition of its proposed amendments
and the hiring of replacement workers.
American's collective bargaining agreement with the Association of
Professional Flight Attendants became amendable on December 31, 1992. The
National Mediation Board declared a cooling-off period in the negotiations in
September 1993, following a long period of negotiation and mediation. After
enduring a five-day strike by the union in November, American agreed to resolve
the remaining issues through binding arbitration. American imposed certain
contract amendments after the union declared the strike. The arbitration
process is expected to be complex and will likely not be decided for several
months. While the ultimate outcome is uncertain, the new contract will likely
result in higher unit labor costs in 1994.
American's collective bargaining agreements with the Allied Pilots
Association and Flight Engineers International Association become amendable on
August 31, 1994. American's collective bargaining agreement with the Transport
Workers Union becomes amendable on March 1, 1995.
A majority of the workforces at the four AMR Eagle carriers is
represented by labor unions and covered by a number of different collective
bargaining agreements. Certain of these agreements are currently in
negotiation. In addition, a proceeding is pending before the National
Mediation Board in which the issue is whether the four American Eagle carriers
should be treated as a single carrier for labor relations purposes. If such a
finding ultimately is made, each unionized employee classification would have
all members of all four carriers represented for collective bargaining purposes
as a single unit. A determination by the National Mediation Board is not
likely before late 1994 or early 1995. The ultimate outcome of this proceeding
and its effect, if any, on costs is uncertain.
FUEL
The Air Transportation Group's operations are significantly affected by the
availability and price of jet fuel. American's fuel costs and consumption for
the years 1989 through 1993 were:
Percent of
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Gallons AMR's
Consumed Total Cost Average Price Operating
Year (in millions) (in millions) Per Gallon Expenses
---- ------------- ------------- ------------- ---------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
1989 2,241 $ 1,367 61.01c. 14.0 %

1991 2,527 1,780 70.47 13.8
1992 2,862 1,862 65.06 12.9
1993 2,939 1,818 61.85 12.0
</TABLE>
Based upon American's 1993 fuel consumption, a one-cent change in the
average annual price-per-gallon of jet fuel caused a change of approximately
$2.5 million in American's monthly fuel costs. AMR's fuel cost in 1993
decreased 1.7 percent over the prior year, primarily due to a 4.9 percent
decrease in American's average price per gallon, offset by a 2.7 percent
increase in gallons consumed by American.
Changes in fuel prices have industry-wide impact and benefit or harm
American's competitors as well as American. Accordingly, lower fuel prices may
be offset by increased price competition and lower revenues for all air
carriers. Fuel prices may increase in the future. There can be no assurance
that American will be able to pass such cost increases on to its customers by
increasing fares in the future.
-6-
<PAGE> 8
Most of American's fuel is purchased pursuant to contracts which, by
their terms, may be terminated upon short notice. While American does not
anticipate a significant reduction in fuel availability, dependency on foreign
imports of crude oil and the possibility of changes in government policy on jet
fuel production, transportation and marketing make it impossible to predict the
future availability of jet fuel. If there were major reductions in the
availability of jet fuel, American's business would be adversely affected.
FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM
American established the AAdvantage frequent flyer program (AAdvantage) to
develop passenger loyalty by offering awards to travelers for their continued
patronage. AAdvantage members earn mileage credits for flights on American,
American Eagle, or certain flights on participating airlines, or by utilizing
services of other program participants, including hotels, car rental companies
and bank credit card issuers. In addition, American periodically offers
special short-term promotions which allow members to earn additional free
travel awards or mileage credits. American reserves the right to change the
AAdvantage program rules, regulations, travel awards and special offers at any
time. American may initiate changes impacting, for example, participant
affiliations, rules for earning mileage credit, mileage levels and awards,
blackout dates and limited seating for travel awards, and the features of
special offers. American reserves the right to end the AAdvantage program with
six months notice.
Mileage credits can be redeemed for free, discounted or upgraded travel
on American, American Eagle or participating airlines, or for other travel
industry awards. Once a member accrues sufficient mileage for an award, the
member may request an award certificate from American. Award certificates may
be redeemed up to one year after issuance. Most travel awards are subject to
blackout dates and capacity control seating. All miles earned after July 1989
must be redeemed within three years or they expire.
American accounts for its frequent flyer obligation on an accrual basis
using the incremental cost method. American's frequent flyer liability is
accrued each time a member accumulates sufficient mileage in his or her account
to claim the lowest level of free travel award (20,000 miles) and such award is
expected to be used for free travel on American. American includes fuel, food,
and reservations/ticketing costs, but not a contribution to overhead or profit,
in the calculation of incremental cost. The cost for fuel is estimated based
on total fuel burn traced by day by various categories of markets, with an
amount allocated to each passenger. Food costs are tracked monthly by market
category, with an amount allocated to each passenger. Reservation/ticketing
costs are based on the total number of passengers, including those traveling on
free awards, divided into American's total expense for these costs. No
accounting is performed for non-travel awards redeemed since the cost to
American, if any, is de minimis.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, American estimated that approximately 3.9
million and 3.7 million free travel awards, respectively, were eligible for
redemption. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, American estimated that
approximately 3.6 million and 3.4 million free travel awards, respectively,
were expected to be redeemed for free travel on American. In making this
estimate, American has excluded mileage in inactive accounts, mileage related
to accounts that have not yet reached the lowest level of free travel award,
mileage that is not expected to ever be redeemed for free travel, and mileage
related to accounts that have reached the lowest level of free travel award but
are estimated based on historical data to be redeemed for discounts and
upgrades, free travel on participating airlines other than American, or
services other than free travel, for which American has no obligation to pay
the provider of those services. The liability for the program mileage that has
reached the lowest level of free travel award and is expected to be redeemed
for free travel on American and deferred revenues for mileage sold to others
participating in the program was $380 million and $285 million, representing
8.6 percent and 6.0 percent of AMR's total current liabilities, at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
The number of free travel awards used for travel on American during the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, was approximately 2,163,000,
1,474,000, and 1,237,000, respectively, representing 9.5 percent, 6.0 percent
and 5.3 percent of total revenue passenger miles for each period, respectively.
American believes displacement of revenue passengers is insignificant given
American's load factors, its ability to manage frequent flyer seat inventory,
and the relatively low ratio of free award usage to revenue passenger miles.
-7-
<PAGE> 9
Effective February 1, 1995, the lowest level of free travel award will
increase from 20,000 to 25,000 miles.
OTHER MATTERS
SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS The Air Transportation Group's results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for
the entire year, since the air transportation business is subject to seasonal
fluctuations. Higher demand for air travel has traditionally resulted in more
favorable operating results for the second and third quarters of the year than
for the first and fourth quarters.
The results of operations in the air transportation business have also
significantly fluctuated in the past in response to general economic
conditions. In addition, fare initiatives, fluctuations in fuel prices, labor
strikes and other factors could impact this seasonal pattern. Unaudited
quarterly financial data for the two-year period ended December 31, 1993, is
included in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
No material part of the business of AMR and its subsidiaries is dependent
upon a single customer or very few customers. Consequently, the loss of the
Company's largest few customers would not have a materially adverse effect upon
AMR.
INSURANCE American carries insurance for public liability, passenger
liability, property damage and all-risk coverage for damage to its aircraft, in
amounts which, in the opinion of management, are adequate.
OTHER GOVERNMENT MATTERS In time of war or during an unlimited national
emergency or civil defense emergency, American and other major air carriers may
be required to provide airlift services to the Military Airlift Command under
the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program.

The table excludes leases for 15 Boeing 767-300 Extended Range aircraft
which can be canceled with 30 days' notice during the first 10 years of the
lease term. At the end of that term in 1998, the leases can be renewed for
periods ranging from 10 to 12 years. The table also excludes leases for 12
Saab 340A aircraft and ten Saab 340B aircraft which can be canceled with 30

DC-10-30 aircraft which has been grounded.
Substantially all of the Air Transportation Group's aircraft leases
include an option to purchase the aircraft or to extend the lease term, or
both, with the purchase price or renewal rental to be based essentially on the
market value of the aircraft at the end of the term of the lease or at a
predetermined fixed rate.
GROUND PROPERTIES
American leases, or has built as leasehold improvements on leased property,
most of its airport and terminal facilities; certain corporate office,
maintenance and training facilities in Fort Worth, Texas; its principal
overhaul and maintenance base and computer facility at Tulsa International
Airport, Tulsa, Oklahoma; its regional reservation offices; and local ticket
and administration offices throughout the system. American has entered into
agreements with the Tulsa Municipal Airport Trust; the Alliance Airport
Authority, Fort Worth, Texas; and the Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O'Hare,
Raleigh/Durham, Nashville, San Juan, New York, and Los Angeles airport
authorities to provide funds for, among other things, additional facilities and
equipment, and improvements and modifications to existing facilities, which
equipment and facilities are or will be leased to American. American also
utilizes public airports for its flight operations under lease arrangements
with the municipalities or governmental agencies owning or controlling them and
leases certain other ground equipment for use at its facilities.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In December 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under Section 1 of the
Sherman Act against several airlines, including the Company, alleging price
fixing based upon the industry's exchange of fare information through the
Airline Tariff Publishing Company. In March 1994, the Company and the
remaining defendants in the case agreed to settle the lawsuit without admitting
liability by entering into a stipulated final judgment that prohibits or
restricts certain pricing practices including the announcement of fare
increases before their effective date. The proposed final judgment is subject
to approval by the Court following a public notice and comment period
prescribed by statute. The Company does not anticipate a material financial
impact from the settlement or compliance with the stipulated judgment. Private
class action claims with similar allegations were settled by the Company and
other airlines which became final in March 1993. Prior to the private class
action settlement becoming final, the Company and several other airlines
voluntarily altered certain pricing practices at issue in the lawsuits to avoid
exposure to additional claims.
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 Practices 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 Company and American are vigorously defending all of the above claims.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY AMR's net loss in 1993 was $110 million, or $2.23 per common share
(primary and fully diluted). The 1993 results reflect the negative impact of a
five-day strike by the union representing American's flight attendants in
November. The results also include a $125 million charge ($79 million after
tax) for the retirement of certain DC-10 aircraft, a positive $115 million
adjustment to revenues ($67 million net of related commission expense and
taxes) for a change in estimate related to certain earned passenger revenues,
and a $71 million provision ($46 million after tax) for losses associated with
a reservations system project and resolution of related litigation. In 1992,
AMR recorded a net loss of $935 million, or $12.49 per common share (primary
and fully diluted). The loss for 1992, before the effect of the adoption of
two new mandatory accounting standards, was $475 million. The Company's 1992
results were also affected by a $165 million provision ($109 million after tax)
related to the suspension of the reservations system project. The Company's
1993 operating income was $690 million, compared to an operating loss of $25
million in 1992.
In the first quarter of 1993, the Company created and began
implementing a new strategic framework, known as the Transition Plan. The Plan
has three parts, each intended to improve the Company's results. First, make
the core airline business bigger and stronger where economically justified.
Second, and conversely, shrink the airline where it cannot compete profitably.
Third, reallocate resources and effort to the growing information and
management services businesses which are more profitable than the airline.
Major events relating to the Transition Plan in 1993 included:
-- The SABRE Technology Group -- later renamed The SABRE Group -- was
formed during the second quarter of 1993.
-- American announced its decision to retire 42 widebody DC-10 jets to
reduce the airline's capacity and lower operating expenses.
-- American shifted domestic capacity to its major hubs in Dallas/Fort
Worth and Miami. With the acquisition of certain assets from
Metroflight, Inc., Simmons Airlines, Inc. opened and rapidly expanded
a major hub at Dallas/Fort Worth. The Eagles also added or increased
service in certain other markets as American reduced or withdrew jet
service.
-- American significantly reduced, and Wings West Airlines, Inc.
eliminated, service at San Jose, California.
-- To provide increased value to business customers, American expanded
its successful three-class transcontinental service to new markets,
added more frequent flights on business routes such as Dallas/Fort
Worth - Chicago, and added more first class seats on some narrowbody
aircraft.
- -- American increased capacity in Latin America by 17.5 percent over 1992.
American's 1993 results benefited from strengthened domestic revenues
in comparison to 1992. American's 1992 domestic revenues suffered from
competitive fare reductions below the levels American established in its Value
Pricing Plan in April 1992. European revenues, however, were negatively
impacted in 1993 by aggressive fare discounting by competitors, weak European
economies and a stronger U.S. dollar.
The Company's 1993 results also reflect the dramatic adverse impact of
a five-day strike by American's flight attendants' union in November. The
strike's after-tax impact on fourth quarter results, estimated at $190 million,
offset earnings generated earlier in the year.
With the downsizing of unprofitable operations, American's workforce
began to decline following years of double-digit percentage increases. In
1993, AMR provided $25 million for employee severance, primarily
management/specialist and operations employees.
-15-
<PAGE> 17
To reduce interest expense, the Company repurchased and retired prior
to maturity $802 million in carrying value of long- term debt. The repurchases
and retirements resulted in an extraordinary loss of $21 million ($14 million
after tax) in 1993.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS The following sections provide a discussion of AMR's
results by reporting segment. A description of the businesses in each
reporting segment is included on pages 1 and 2. Additional segment information

REVENUES
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 Air Transportation Group revenues of $14.8 billion in
1993 were up $1.3 billion, 9.7 percent, versus 1992. American's passenger
revenues rose 8.4 percent, $1.0 billion, primarily as a result of an 8.8
percent increase in passenger yield (the average amount one passenger pays to
fly one mile), offset by a 0.3 percent decline in passenger traffic.
American's passenger yield in 1993 increased to 13.28 cents, primarily
as a result of a very weak comparison base of 1992, when revenues were
negatively impacted by competitors' drastic discounting of domestic fares. For
the year, domestic yield increased 13.5 percent. International yield was
mixed, increasing 13.9 percent in the Pacific, unchanged in Latin America and
declining 10.1 percent in Europe. In 1993, American derived 73.8 percent of
its passenger revenues from domestic operations and 26.2 percent from
international operations.
Although American's system capacity, as measured by available seat
miles (ASMs), increased 5.2 percent, its traffic, as measured by revenue
passenger miles (RPMs), decreased 0.3 percent. The drastic fare discounting
drove traffic up to record levels in 1992. Traffic suffered in 1993 from
American's inability to carry passengers during the flight attendants' union
strike in November and the adverse effect of the strike on passenger demand
during the month of December. American's domestic traffic decreased 3.5
percent, to 69.7 billion RPMs, while domestic capacity grew 2.9 percent.
International traffic grew 9.1 percent, to 27.5 billion RPMs on capacity growth
of 12.1 percent. The increase in international traffic was led by a 14.7
percent increase in Latin America on capacity growth of 17.5 percent, and a 7.4
percent increase in Europe on capacity growth of 10.8 percent.
Passenger revenues of the AMR Eagle carriers increased 43.6 percent,
$216 million, primarily due to the opening and expansion of regional operations
at Dallas/Fort Worth with assets acquired from Metroflight, Inc. Traffic on
the AMR Eagle carriers increased 47.6 percent, to 2.1 billion RPMs, while
capacity grew 41.6 percent to 3.8 billion ASMs. Passenger yield decreased 2.7
percent.
Cargo revenues increased 10.7 percent, $62 million, driven by a 22.5
percent increase in American's domestic and international cargo volumes,
partially offset by decreasing yields brought about by strong price competition
resulting from excess industry capacity.
Other revenues, consisting of service fees, liquor revenues, duty-free
sales, tour marketing and miscellaneous other revenues, increased 5.6 percent,
$28 million, primarily as a result of increased capacity.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991 Air Transportation Group revenues of $13.5 billion in
1992 were up 12.2 percent, $1.5 billion, from 1991. American's passenger
revenues rose 11.0 percent, $1.2 billion, primarily as a result of an 18.3
percent increase in American's passenger traffic, offset by a 6.1 percent
decline in American's passenger yield. The increase in RPMs was due to
capacity growth of 14.6 percent and greater demand for air travel, generated in
part by the various fare promotions during 1992. American's domestic traffic
increased 13.3 percent, to 72.2 billion RPMs. International traffic grew 35.4
percent, to 25.2 billion RPMs.
American's passenger yield in 1992 declined to 12.21 cents. Domestic
yield experienced a sharp decline of 8.3 percent due to various fare promotions
during 1992. International yield was mixed, increasing 2.1 percent in Latin
America and 14.1 percent in the Pacific, but declining 6.6 percent in Europe.
In 1992, American derived 73.1 percent of its passenger revenues from domestic
operations and 26.9 percent from international operations.
-17-
<PAGE> 19
Passenger revenues of the AMR Eagle carriers increased 17.6 percent,
$74 million. Traffic on those carriers increased 33.2 percent, to 1.4 billion
RPMs, while capacity grew 28.5 percent, to 2.7 billion ASMs. Passenger yield
decreased 11.7 percent due principally to various fare promotions in 1992.
Cargo revenues increased 22.3 percent, $106 million, driven by a 30.0
percent increase in American's domestic and international cargo volume.
Other revenues, consisting of service fees, liquor revenues, duty-free
sales, tour marketing and miscellaneous other revenues, increased 26.4 percent,
$105 million. The increase resulted from $22 million in revenues from the
introduction of service fees on ticket changes and increased traffic.
EXPENSES
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 Air Transportation Group operating expenses increased
4.5 percent, $627 million. American's capacity increased 5.2 percent, to 160.9
billion ASMs, due primarily to the addition of new aircraft. American's
Passenger Division cost per ASM decreased by 2.0 percent, to 8.25 cents.
Wages, salaries and benefits rose 5.3 percent, $245 million, due to
wage and salary adjustments for existing employees, rising health-care costs
and a 1.7 percent increase in the average number of equivalent employees. In
addition, during the fourth quarter, the Air Transportation Group recorded a
$13 million severance provision in conjunction with layoffs and voluntary
terminations of management/specialist and operations personnel.
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 1.7 percent, $33 million, due to a 4.9
percent decrease in American's average price per gallon, partially offset by a
2.7 percent increase in gallons consumed by American. American's average price
per gallon decreased from $0.65 per gallon in 1992 to $0.62 per gallon in 1993.
American consumed an average of 245 million gallons of fuel each month. A
one-cent decline in fuel prices saves approximately $2.5 million per month.
Commissions to agents increased 11.3 percent, $147 million, due
principally to increased passenger revenues and increased incentives for travel
agents.
Depreciation and amortization increased 19.9 percent, $167 million,
primarily due to the addition of 44 owned jet aircraft, 24 owned turboprop
aircraft and other capital equipment.
Other operating expenses, consisting of aircraft rentals, other
rentals and landing fees, food service costs, maintenance expenses, and
miscellaneous operating expenses, increased 2.0 percent, $101 million.
Aircraft rentals increased 8.8 percent, $65 million, primarily due to the
full-year impact of 1992 operating-leased aircraft additions and the addition
of operating-leased aircraft during 1993. Other rentals and landing fees
increased 4.4 percent, $33 million, due primarily to increased rentals
resulting from additions, improvements and renovations to facilities owned by
airport authorities and leased to American. Food service cost increased 0.6
percent, $4 million, reflecting the 9.1 percent increase in international
traffic, where food costs are greater, offset by the 3.5 percent decrease in
domestic traffic. Maintenance materials and repairs expense decreased 3.5
percent, $24 million, due principally to the retirement of older aircraft and
increased operational efficiencies. Miscellaneous operating expenses
(including crew travel expenses, booking fees, purchased services,
communications charges, credit card fees and advertising) increased 1.0
percent, $23 million, primarily due to the increase in capacity.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991 Air Transportation Group operating expenses increased
12.5 percent, $1.5 billion. American's capacity increased 14.6 percent, to
153.0 billion ASMs, due primarily to the addition of new aircraft. American's
Passenger Division cost per ASM decreased 1.8 percent, to 8.42 cents.
Wages, salaries and benefits rose 17.1 percent, $672 million, due in
part to wage and salary increases, as well as to a 4.4 percent increase in the
average number of equivalent employees. In addition, during 1992, the Air
Transportation Group recorded a $22 million severance provision in conjunction
with layoffs and voluntary terminations of airline management/specialist
personnel.

<PAGE> 20
Aircraft fuel expense increased 4.8 percent, $87 million, primarily
due to a 13.3 percent increase in gallons consumed by American, partially
offset by a 7.7 percent decrease in American's average price per gallon.
American's average price per gallon decreased from $0.70 per gallon in 1991 to
$0.65 per gallon in 1992.
Commissions to agents increased 13.3 percent, $153 million, due
principally to increased passenger revenues and increased incentives for travel
agents. The 1992 commissions expense also reflects the fact that American
protected agent commissions for domestic tickets that were sold at higher,
pre-summer sale levels and reissued at special 50-percent-off fares.
Depreciation and amortization increased 20.1 percent, $140 million,
due to additions to the fleet and the acquisition of other capital equipment.
Other operating expenses, consisting of aircraft rentals, other
rentals and landing fees, food service costs, maintenance expenses and
miscellaneous operating expenses, increased 10.3 percent, $482 million.
Aircraft rentals increased 10.9 percent, $72 million, due to the full-year
impact of 1991 operating-leased aircraft additions and the addition of
operating-leased aircraft during 1992. Other rentals and landing fees
increased 38.9 percent, $211 million, due primarily to increased rentals
resulting from additions, improvements and renovations to facilities owned by
airport authorities and leased to American. Landing fees increased, reflecting
the Company's additional capacity and rate increases charged by airports. Food
service cost increased 11.4 percent, $71 million, due primarily to the
increased number of passengers. Maintenance materials and repairs expense
increased 2.3 percent, $15 million, due to the increase in the fleet, offset by
operating efficiencies and retirement of several inefficient fleet types.
Miscellaneous operating expenses (including crew travel expenses, bookings
fees, purchased services, communications charges, credit card fees and
advertising) increased 5.2 percent, $113 million, primarily due to the increase
in capacity and traffic.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other Income (Expense) consists of interest income and expense, interest
capitalized and miscellaneous - net.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
10.1 percent, $53 million, as a result of additional external financings,
offset in part by interest savings generated from declining interest rates,
interest rate swap transactions and repurchases and retirement of long-term
debt. In addition, interest capitalized decreased 48.0 percent, $47 million,
as a result of the decrease in the average balance during the year of purchase
deposits for flight equipment and the decline in interest rates.
Miscellaneous - net for 1993 includes a $125 million charge related to
the retirement of 31 DC-10 aircraft. Included in Miscellaneous - net for 1992
is a $14 million provision for a cash payment representing American's share of
a multi-carrier antitrust settlement and an $11 million charge associated with
the retirement of the CASA aircraft fleet of Executive Airlines, Inc., one of
the AMR Eagle carriers.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991 Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
41.2 percent, $153 million, primarily as a result of additional external
financings. In addition, interest capitalized decreased 35.9 percent, $55
million, due to the decrease in the average balance during the year of purchase
deposits for flight equipment and the decline in interest rates.
Miscellaneous - net for 1992 includes a $14 million provision for a
cash payment representing American's share of a multi- carrier antitrust
settlement and an $11 million charge associated with the retirement of
Executive Airlines, Inc.'s CASA aircraft fleet. Included in Miscellaneous -
net for 1991 are charges of $77 million related to the retirement of American's
British Aerospace BAe 146, and Boeing 737 and 747SP aircraft and the Fairchild
Metro III aircraft of certain AMR Eagle carriers.

REVENUES
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 Revenues for the AMR Management Services Group
increased 34.5 percent, $116 million. AMR Services' revenues increased 15.2
percent, $37 million, primarily as a result of strong domestic fuel and deicing
sales, expansion of European operations, and the acquisition of an additional
domestic fixed-base operator in November. AMR Leasing's revenues increased
73.2 percent, $59 million, with additional turboprop aircraft under rental to
subsidiaries of AMR Eagle. In addition, Americas Ground Services ended 1993,
its first year, with over $10 million in revenues.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991 Revenues for the AMR Management Services Group
increased 12.4 percent, $37 million. AMR Leasing's revenues increased 62.0
percent, $31 million, due to additional turboprop aircraft under rental to
subsidiaries of AMR Eagle.
EXPENSES
1993 COMPARED TO 1992 Wages, salaries and benefits increased 23.9 percent,
$21 million, due primarily to a 37.5 percent increase in the average number of
equivalent employees. Aircraft rentals increased 86.4 percent, $38 million,
and depreciation and amortization increased 30.3 percent, $10 million, with
additional operating-leased and owned aircraft in AMR Leasing's turboprop
fleet. Other operating expenses increased 19.7 percent, $28 million, due
primarily to the expansion of AMR Services and Americas Ground Services' first
year of operations.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991 Wages, salaries and benefits increased 4.8 percent, $4
million, due primarily to a 1.4 percent increase in the average number of
equivalent employees. Aircraft rentals increased 57.1 percent, $16 million,
and depreciation and amortization increased 22.2 percent, $6 million, due to
additional operating-leased and owned aircraft in AMR Leasing's turboprop
fleet.

<PAGE> 23
INFLATION
Adjustment of historical cost data to reflect the impact of general inflation
and specific price changes would lower AMR's operating results, principally
because of the increased depreciation and amortization resulting from the
replacement, at current cost, of equipment and property with assets that have
the same service potential. However, because AMR's monetary liabilities exceed
monetary assets, the reduced operating results would be partially offset by the
gain from the decline in purchasing power of the net amounts owed.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating activities provided net cash of $1.4 billion in 1993, $843 million in
1992 and $744 million in 1991. Capital expenditures in 1993 totaled $2.1
billion, compared to $3.3 billion in 1992 and $3.5 billion in 1991. In 1993,
The Company took delivery of 44 owned jet aircraft - one Airbus A300-600R, six
Boeing 757-200s, six Boeing 767-300ERs, 23 Fokker 100s and eight McDonnell
Douglas MD-11s. The Company also took delivery of 24 turboprop aircraft - one
ATR-42, six Super ATRs and 17 Saab 340Bs.
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
FIRM DELIVERIES At December 31, 1993, AMR had 58 aircraft on order,
aggregating approximately $1.5 billion, for delivery through 1996. The Company
had firm orders for 16 Boeing 757-200s, seven Boeing 767-300ERs, 13 Fokker
100s, 19 Super ATRs and three Saab 340Bs.
In 1994, the Company will take delivery of 22 jet aircraft -- six Boeing
757-200s, three Boeing 767-300ERs, 13 Fokker 100s and 17 turboprop aircraft --
14 Super ATRs and three Saab 340Bs. Total expenditures for 1994 for aircraft
acquisitions and related equipment will be approximately $800 million.
OTHER The Company also has planned capital expenditures in 1994 of
approximately $900 million for aircraft modifications, renovations of, and
additions to, airport and office facilities and various other equipment and
assets.
In addition, AMR and PWA Corporation, the parent company of Canadian
Airlines International Ltd. (CAIL), have entered into a series of agreements
which provide for a 20-year services contract under which AMR will furnish a
comprehensive package of airline services to CAIL. In addition, AMR will make
an investment of approximately $246 million (Canadian) in mandatorily
redeemable convertible preferred stock of CAIL. The agreements are subject to
significant conditions including approval by the U.S. and Canadian governments,
conditions relating to CAIL's capital restructuring program and various
conditions related to labor matters.
AMR intends to finance its capital asset acquisitions through the use of
internally generated funds as well as external financing. At December 31,
1993, no borrowings were outstanding and approximately $1.8 billion was
available under American's credit facilities, including American's $1.0 billion
credit facility expiring in 1994. American expects to replace the $1.0 billion
credit facility with a $750 million credit agreement. At February 15, 1994,
borrowings of $400 million were outstanding under the credit facilities.
AMR continually reviews its need for additional aircraft and ground
properties and determines its requirements based on return-on-investment
analyses and both short-term and long-term profitability forecasts. AMR has
several ways to adjust its plans, including terminating certain operating
leases, scaling back or canceling planned facility expansions and delaying
other planned expenditures.
AIRCRAFT OPTIONS In addition to aircraft on firm order at December 31, 1993,
American has 119 jet aircraft available on option - 21 Boeing 757-200s, eight
Boeing 767-300ERs, 15 McDonnell Douglas MD-11s and 75 Fokker 100s. The Company
also has 160 turboprop aircraft available on option - 20 Saab 340Bs, 40 Saab
2000s, 20 British Aerospace Jetstream 41s, 10 ATR-42s and 70 Super ATRs.

OTHER INFORMATION
WORKING CAPITAL AMR (principally American Airlines) historically operates
with a working capital deficit as do most other airline companies. The
existence of such a deficit has not in the past impaired the Company's ability
to meet its obligations as they become due and is not expected to do so in the
future.
DEFERRED TAX ASSETS As of December 31, 1993, the Company had deferred tax
assets aggregating approximately $2.3 billion, including approximately $267
million of alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforwards. The Company
believes substantially all the deferred tax assets, other than the AMT credit
carryforwards, will be realized through reversal of existing taxable temporary
differences. The Company anticipates using its AMT credit carryforwards, which
are available for an indefinite period of time, against its future regular tax
liability within the next 10 years for several reasons. Although the Company
incurred net losses in 1990 through 1993, it recorded substantial income before
taxes and taxable income during the seven-year period 1983 through 1989 of
approximately $3.4 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. The Company is
aggressively pursuing revenue enhancement and cost reduction initiatives to
restore profitability. The Company has also substantially curtailed its
planned capital spending program, which will accelerate the reversal of
depreciation differences between financial and tax income, thus increasing
taxable income.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Subsidiaries of AMR have been notified of potential
liability with regard to several environmental cleanup sites. At sites where
remedial litigation has commenced, potential liability is joint and several.
AMR's alleged volumetric contributions at the sites are minimal. AMR does not
expect these actions, individually or collectively, to have a material impact
on its financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
DISCOUNT RATE Due to the decline in interest rates during 1993, the discount
rate used to determine the Company's pension obligations as of December 31,
1993 and the related expense for 1994, has been reduced. The impact on 1994
pension expense of the change in the discount rate will be substantially offset
by the significant appreciation in the market value of pension plan assets
experienced during 1993.
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION During 1992, American and certain other
carriers agreed to settle various class action claims, subject to approval by
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Under the terms
of the agreement, the carriers paid a total of approximately $50 million in
cash and will jointly issue and distribute approximately $408 million in face
amount of certificates for discounts of approximately 10 percent on future air
travel on any of the carriers. A liability has not been established for the
certificate portion of the settlement since American expects that, in the
aggregate, future revenues received upon redemption of the certificates will
exceed the related cost of providing the air travel. American anticipates that
the share of the certificates redeemed on American may represent, but is not
limited to, American's 26 percent market share among the carriers. The
ultimate impact of the settlement on American's revenues, operating margins and
earnings is not reasonably estimable since both the portion of certificates to
be redeemed on American and the stimulative or depressive effect of the
certificate redemption on revenues is not known.

OUTLOOK FOR 1994
During 1993, AMR completed a comprehensive review of the competitive realities
of its businesses and determined that the Company must change significantly to
generate sufficient earnings. The fundamental problems of the airline --
increasing competition from low-cost, low-fare carriers, its inability to
reduce labor costs to competitive levels, and the changing values of its
customers -- demand new solutions. As an initial response to that need, the
Company created and began implementing a new strategic framework known as the
Transition Plan. The plan has three parts, each intended to improve the
Company's results. First, make the core airline business bigger and stronger
where economically justified. Second, and conversely, shrink the airline where
it cannot compete profitably. Third, reallocate resources and effort to the
growing information and management services businesses, which are more
profitable than the airline.
The Transition Plan recognizes the unfavorable and uncertain economics
which have characterized the core airline business in recent years,
acknowledges the airline cost problem and seeks to maximize the contribution of
the Company's more profitable businesses. In 1994, the Company will continue
the course of change initiated in 1993 under the Transition Plan. Over the
long term, the Company will continue its best efforts to reduce airline costs
and to restore the airline operations to profitability. Based upon the success
or failure of those efforts, the Company will make ongoing determinations as to
the appropriate degree of reallocation of resources from the airline operations
to the Company's other businesses, which may include, if the airline cannot be
run profitably, the disposition or termination, over the long term, of a
substantial part or all of the airline operations.
AIR TRANSPORTATION GROUP During 1993, American closed its hub and
dramatically reduced operations at San Jose, California, and expanded its
Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami hubs. The airline will continue to reduce or
eliminate service where it cannot operate profitably. American's regional
airline affiliates, subsidiaries of AMR Eagle, have added turboprop service on
some routes where jet service has been canceled, and they will continue to
pursue these opportunities in 1994.
In 1993, American removed 21 McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and 28 Boeing 727
aircraft from service. In 1994, an additional 14 DC- 10s and 31 727s will be
retired. As a result, in 1994 American's available seat miles are expected to
decrease by almost five percent. Domestic capacity will drop by almost seven
percent, while international capacity will increase slightly. The capacity
reduction will be the first at American since 1981.
Aircraft retirements have necessitated the furlough of about 3,700
American employees since late 1992. The Company anticipates further workforce
reductions in 1994 and, accordingly, made a provision for the cost of these
reductions in 1993. Fewer aircraft deliveries will also translate into lower
capital spending.
American's revenue plan for 1994 reflects continued emphasis on producing
premium yields by attracting more full fare passengers than its competitors.
As part of this plan, American will expand its successful three-class domestic
transcontinental service, add more first class seats on some narrowbody
aircraft and increase frequencies in business-oriented markets. In addition,
American will seek to grow its cargo revenues again in 1994.
In 1993, American's cost per available seat mile declined by 2.0 percent,
largely due to a 4.9 percent drop in the cost of jet fuel. In 1994, though
American will continue its rigorous program of cost control, it expects units
costs, excluding fuel, to rise modestly. This increase will be driven by
higher unit labor costs due to pay scale and average seniority escalations.
On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act was signed into
law, imposing a new 4.3 cents per gallon tax on commercial aviation jet fuel
for use in domestic operations. The new tax will become effective October 1,
1995, and is scheduled to continue until October 1, 1998. American estimates
the resulting annual increase in fuel taxes will be approximately $90 million.
-24-
<PAGE> 26
The Company instituted a program in the latter half of 1993 to reduce
interest costs. At year-end interest rates, the Company anticipates that this
program, which involves such things as interest rate swaps and the repurchase
and retirement of long-term debt, will produce significant interest cost
savings. This savings is expected to largely offset the additional interest
cost of new financings in 1994.
In November 1993, American endured a five-day strike by its flight
attendants' union; the strike ended when both sides agreed to binding
arbitration. The arbitration process is expected to be complex and will likely
not be decided for several months. While the ultimate outcome is uncertain,
the new contract will likely result in higher unit labor costs in 1994.
American's labor contract with its pilots' union becomes amendable in
August 1994. The Company and the union leadership are pursuing opportunities
to streamline the negotiation and settlement process. The ultimate outcome of
these negotiations cannot be estimated at this time.
THE SABRE GROUP The integration of AMR's information services businesses will
continue in 1994 with the integration of SDS, AADT and other units in The SABRE
Group into SABRE Decision Technologies (SDT). SDT will develop and market The
SABRE Group's expanding array of information systems products and services to a
growing list of customers throughout the world.
STIN will seek to sustain its revenue growth through continued
geographical expansion of the SABRE computerized reservation system and the
sale of its leading-edge automated reservations products such as SABRExpress,
SABRExpress Ticketing and SABRE TravelBase, a new travel agency accounting
system.
Other SABRE Group units, providing telemarketing and reservations
services, data capture and management services and information systems
training, will continue to pursue opportunities to market these services, both
domestically and internationally.
AMR MANAGEMENT SERVICES GROUP AMR Management Services' growth in 1994 will be
driven primarily by revenue increases at AMR Services Corporation and AMR
Leasing. AMR Services' performance in 1994 will benefit from the full-year
operation of AMR Combs' Dallas aviation service center acquired in late 1993
and the continued growth and development of AMR Services' international
operations, the majority of which were begun or acquired in 1993. AMR
Leasing's revenues will increase in 1994 due to the acquisition of additional
turboprop aircraft to be leased to subsidiaries of AMR Eagle. AMR Leasing is
also exploring opportunities to lease aircraft to external customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
AMR Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMR
Corporation as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included
the financial statement schedules listed in Item 14(a) on page 55. These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AMR
Corporation at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 7 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes and postretirement benefits other than pensions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of AMR Corporation (AMR or the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
1993 presentation.
INVENTORIES Spare parts, materials and supplies relating to flight equipment
are carried at average cost and are expensed when used in operations.
Allowances for obsolescence are provided, over the estimated useful life of the
related aircraft and engines, for spare parts expected to be on hand at the
date aircraft are retired from service.
EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY The provision for depreciation of operating equipment
and property is computed on the straight-line method applied to each unit of
property, except that spare assemblies are depreciated on a group basis. The
depreciable lives and residual values used for the principal depreciable asset
classifications are:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Residual
Depreciable Life Value
------------------------------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Airbus A300-600R 20 years 5%
Boeing 727-200 * 5%
Boeing 757-200, 767-200 and 767-300 20 years 5%
Fokker 100 20 years 5%
DC-10-10 and DC-10-30** December 31, 1999*** 5%
MD-11 and MD-80 20 years 5%
Regional carrier aircraft and engines 15-17 years 5-10%
Major rotable parts, avionics and assemblies Life of equipment to which None
applicable
Improvements to leased flight equipment Term of lease None
Buildings and improvements (principally on 10-30 years or term of lease None
leased land)
Other equipment 3-20 years None
</TABLE>
* In connection with a review of its fleet plan, American changed,
effective October 1, 1991, the estimated useful lives of its Boeing
727-200 aircraft and engines from a common retirement date of December
31, 1994, to projected retirement dates by aircraft, which results in
an average depreciable life of approximately 21 years.
** During 1993, American announced its intention to retire a total of 36
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 and six McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30
aircraft. At December 31, 1993, 21 of those aircraft had been
grounded.
*** Approximate common retirement date.
Equipment and property under capital leases are amortized over the term
of the leases and such amortization is included in depreciation and
amortization. Lease terms vary but are generally 10 to 25 years for aircraft
and 7 to 40 years for other leased equipment and property.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS Maintenance and repair costs for owned and
leased flight equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred, except
engine overhaul costs incurred by AMR's regional carriers, which are accrued on
the basis of hours flown.
-34-
<PAGE> 36
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company continually evaluates intangible assets to
determine whether current events and circumstances warrant adjustment of the
carrying values or amortization periods.
Route acquisition costs and airport operating and gate lease rights represent
the purchase price attributable to route authorities, airport take-off and
landing slots and airport gate leasehold rights acquired and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 to 40 years.
PASSENGER REVENUES Passenger ticket sales are initially recorded as a current
liability. Revenue derived from the sale is recognized at the time
transportation is provided.
FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM The estimated incremental cost of providing free
travel awards is accrued when such award levels are reached. Revenues received
for miles sold to others participating in the program are deferred and
recognized over a period approximating the time transportation is provided.
INCOME TAXES AMR and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and the income tax amounts.
DEFERRED GAINS Gains on the sale and leaseback of equipment and property are
deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases as a reduction of
rent expense.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS AMR enters into foreign exchange contracts as a
hedge against certain amounts payable or receivable in foreign currencies.
Market value gains or losses are recognized and offset against foreign exchange
gains or losses on those obligations or receivables.
FUEL SWAP CONTRACTS American enters into swap contracts to hedge against
market price fluctuations of jet fuel. Gains or losses on these contracts are
included in fuel expense when the underlying fuel being hedged is used.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS Short-term investments, without regard to remaining
maturity at acquisition, are not considered as cash equivalents for purposes of
the statement of cash flows.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Loss per share computations are based upon the loss
applicable to common shares and the average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, warrants and
deferred stock) outstanding. The convertible preferred stock is not a common
stock equivalent. The number of shares used in the computations of primary and
fully diluted loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992
and 1991, was 76.0 million, 74.9 million and 67.8 million, respectively.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has on order 36 jet aircraft - 16 Boeing 757-200s, seven
Boeing 767-300ERs and 13 Fokker 100s scheduled for delivery through 1996, and
22 turboprop aircraft - 19 Super ATRs and three Saab 340Bs scheduled for
delivery through 1995. Deposits of $350 million have been made toward the
purchase of these aircraft. Future payments, including estimated amounts for
price escalation through anticipated delivery dates for these aircraft and
related equipment, will be approximately $800 million in 1994, $500 million in
1995 and $150 million in 1996, a portion of which is payable in foreign
currencies.
In addition to these commitments for aircraft, the Company has authorized
expenditures of approximately $1.2 billion for aircraft modifications,
renovations of, and additions to, airport and office facilities and various
other equipment and assets. AMR expects to spend approximately $800 million of
this amount in 1994.
AMR and PWA Corporation, the parent company of Canadian Airlines
International Ltd. (CAIL), have entered into a series of agreements which
provide for a 20-year services contract under which AMR will furnish a
comprehensive package of airline services to CAIL. In addition, AMR will make
an investment of approximately $246 million (Canadian) in mandatorily
redeemable convertible preferred stock of CAIL. The agreements are subject to
significant conditions, including approval by the U.S. and Canadian
governments, conditions relating to CAIL's capital restructuring program, and
various conditions relating to labor matters.
AMR and American have included an event risk covenant in approximately
$397 million of debentures and approximately $2.9 billion of lease agreements.
The covenant permits the holders of such instruments to receive a higher rate
of return (between 50 and 700 basis points above the stated rate) if a
designated event, as defined, should occur and the credit rating of the
debentures or the debt obligations underlying the lease agreements is
downgraded below certain levels.
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, 1993 and 1992, Receivables are
presented net of approximately $300 million of such transferred receivables.
American maintains an allowance for uncollectible receivables based upon
expected collectibility of all receivables, including the receivables
transferred.
-36-
<PAGE> 38
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Special facility revenue bonds have been issued by certain
municipalities, primarily to purchase equipment and improve airport facilities
which are leased by American. In certain cases, the bond issue proceeds were
loaned to American and are included in Long-Term Debt. Certain bonds have
rates that are periodically reset and are remarketed by various agents. In
certain circumstances, American may be required to purchase up to $413 million
of the special facility revenue bonds prior to maturity, in which case American
has the right to resell the bonds or to use the bonds to offset its lease or
debt obligations. American may borrow the purchase price of these bonds under
standby letter-of-credit agreements. At American's option, these letters of
credit are secured by funds held by bond trustees and by approximately $448
million of short-term investments.
4. LEASES
AMR's subsidiaries lease various types of equipment and property,
including aircraft, passenger terminals, equipment and various other
facilities. The future minimum lease payments required under capital leases,
together with the present value of net minimum lease payments, and future
minimum lease payments required under operating leases that have initial or
remaining non- cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31,
1993, were (in millions):

</TABLE>
* Future minimum payments required under capital leases and operating
leases include $384 million and $6.0 billion, respectively, guaranteed
by AMR relating to special facility revenue bonds issued by
municipalities.
** The present value of future minimum lease payments includes $132
million guaranteed by American.
At December 31, 1993, the Company had 235 jet aircraft and 144 turboprop
aircraft under operating leases and 80 jet aircraft and 63 turboprop aircraft
under capital leases.
The aircraft leases can generally be renewed at rates based on fair
market value at the end of the lease term for one to five years. Most aircraft
leases have purchase options at or near the end of the lease term at fair
market value, but generally not to exceed a stated percentage of the defined
lessor's cost of the aircraft. Of the aircraft American has under operating
leases, 15 Boeing 767-300ERs are cancelable upon 30 days' notice during the
initial 10-year lease term. At the end of that term in 1998, the leases can be
renewed for periods ranging from 10 to 12 years. In 1993, American agreed to
forfeit its right to cancel leases for 25 Airbus A300-600R aircraft upon 30
days' notice and extended the terms of the leases for periods ranging from 18
to 19 years.
Rent expense, excluding landing fees, was $1.3 billion for 1993 and 1992
and $1.0 billion for 1991.

----------- -----------
Long-term debt, less current maturities $ 5,431 $ 5,643
=========== ===========
</TABLE>
Maturities of long-term debt (including sinking fund requirements) for
the next five years are: 1994 - $200 million; 1995 - $566 million; 1996 - $226
million; 1997 - $412 million; 1998 - $433 million.
Certain debt is secured by aircraft, engines, equipment and other assets
having a net book value of approximately $1.5 billion.
During 1993, AMR repurchased and retired prior to maturity the zero
coupon subordinated convertible notes due 2006 and certain other long-term debt
with a total carrying value of $802 million. The repurchases and retirements
resulted in an extraordinary loss of $21 million ($14 million after tax).
Additional borrowings and cash from operations provided the funding for the
repurchases and retirements.
American has a $500 million short-term credit facility agreement which
expires in 1995 and a $1.0 billion credit facility expiring in 1994. American
expects to replace the $1.0 billion credit facility with a $750 million credit
agreement. American also has $335 million available under a multiple option
facility which expires in 1995. Interest on these agreements is calculated at
floating rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). At
December 31, 1993, no borrowings were outstanding and approximately $1.8
billion was available under these facilities. As of February 15, 1994,
borrowings of $400 million were outstanding under the credit facilities.
American's debt and credit facility agreements contain certain
restrictive covenants, including a cash flow coverage test, a minimum net worth
requirement and limitations on indebtedness and the declaration of dividends on
shares of its capital stock. Certain of these restrictions could affect AMR's
ability to pay dividends. At December 31, 1993, under the most restrictive
provisions of those agreements, approximately $1.3 billion of American's
retained earnings were available for payment of cash dividends to AMR.
Certain of AMR's debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including
a limitation on the declaration of dividends on shares of capital stock. At
December 31, 1993, under the terms of such agreements, all of AMR's retained
earnings were available for payment of dividends.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the Company's long-term debt were estimated using
quoted market prices, where available. For long-term debt not actively traded,
fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the
Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. The fair values of the Company's long-term debt, including
current maturities, at December 31, 1993, were (in millions):

During 1993, American entered into interest-rate swap agreements with a
number of major financial institutions. Under these swap agreements, American
receives fixed-rate payments (4.25% to 6.44%) in exchange for floating-rate
payments (3.25% to 4.00% at December 31, 1993) on a total notional principal
amount of $1.4 billion. The swap agreements expire over three to 15 years.
American is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the
counterparties; however, American does not anticipate such default. Under
agreements with certain counterparties, American or the counterparty may be
required to post collateral based on certain credit limits and ratings. As of
December 31, 1993, no collateral was required under these agreements. The fair
value of the Company's interest-rate swap agreements is estimated based on the
market prices for similar agreements. The net fair value of the Company's
interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 1993, representing the estimated
net amount the Company would have to pay to terminate the agreements, was $6
million.
To hedge against the risk of future currency exchange rate fluctuations
on certain debt and lease obligations and related interest payable in foreign
currencies, AMR has entered into various foreign currency exchange agreements.
Changes in the value of the agreements due to exchange rate fluctuations are
offset by changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt and
lease obligations translated at the current rate. In the event of default by
the counterparties, AMR is exposed to risk for periodic settlements due under
the agreements; however, AMR does not anticipate such default. The fair value
of the Company's foreign currency exchange agreements is estimated based on
quoted market prices of comparable agreements. The net fair values of the
Company's foreign currency exchange agreements at December 31, 1993,
representing the estimated net amount that AMR would receive to terminate the
agreements, were as follows:

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
American has sold options enabling two major banks to put Dutch guilders
to American at a fixed rate of guilders per U.S. dollar at periodic intervals
through 1994. At December 31, 1993, approximately 680 million guilders remain
subject to the put options. The market risk associated with the put options is
offset by American's ability, under a purchase agreement, to pay for certain
equipment in U.S. dollars or, at American's option, in Dutch guilders, at the
same exchange rate as the put options. At dates where American does not have a
liability under the equipment purchase agreement due to changes in delivery
schedules, American has purchased options to put approximately 50 million
guilders to a major bank at the same rate of exchange. American's credit risk
is limited to failure of the manufacturer to perform under the purchase
agreement or the failure of the bank to perform under the purchased put option
agreement; however, American does not anticipate non-performance. The proceeds
from the sales of the put options, net of the cost of the put options
purchased, were deferred and are being offset against the cost of the equipment
acquired under the purchase agreement. The net fair value of these guilder put
options was de minimis at December 31, 1993.

The income tax benefit includes federal income tax benefit of $30
million, $219 million and $105 million for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992, and 1991, respectively.
Effective January 1, 1992, AMR adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (FAS 109), changing its
method of accounting for income taxes. As permitted under the new rules, prior
years' financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in
accounting method. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 decreased the net
loss for the year ended December 31, 1992, by $135 million, or $1.81 per share.
In addition, a deferred tax benefit of $322 million was recognized in the
year ended December 31, 1992, upon adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions," (FAS 106).
The income tax benefit differed from amounts computed at the statutory

8. PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK RIGHTS
In 1993, AMR issued 22 million depositary shares, each representing
1/10th of a share of 6% Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock,
resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion. At the holder's
option, each preferred share is convertible into 6.3492 shares of common stock
at any time. At the Company's option after February 1, 1996, the preferred
shares are redeemable at specified redemption prices.
Each outstanding share of common stock has one preferred stock purchase
right which entitles stockholders to purchase 1/100th of a share of an
authorized series of preferred stock. Generally, the rights will not be
exercisable until a party either acquires beneficial ownership of 10% of AMR's
common stock or makes a tender offer for at least 30% of its common stock. The
rights, which expire in 1996, do not have voting rights and may be redeemed by
AMR at $0.05 per right at any time prior to the time that 10% or more of AMR's
shares have been accumulated by a single acquirer or group. If AMR is acquired
in a merger or business combination, each right has an exercise price of $200
and can be used to purchase the common stock of the surviving company having a
market value of twice the exercise price of each right. As a result, the Board
has reserved 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock for possible conversion of
these rights.

9. STOCK AWARDS AND OPTIONS
Under the 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan (1988 Plan), officers and key
employees of AMR and its subsidiaries may be granted stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock purchase rights
and/or other stock-based awards. The total number of common shares reserved
for distribution under the 1988 Plan is 4,500,000 shares plus, 7.65% of any
increase (other than any increase due to awards under this plan or other plans)
in the number of authorized and issued shares of common stock outstanding at
December 31, 1987. The 1988 Plan will terminate no later than May 18, 1998.
Options granted are exercisable at the market value of the stock upon grant,
generally becoming exercisable in equal annual installments over one to five
years following the date of grant and expiring 10 years from the date of grant.
Stock appreciation rights may be granted in tandem with options awarded. At
December 31, 1993, 462,500 stock appreciation rights were outstanding.
Stock option activity was:

AMR has a restricted stock incentive plan, under which officers and key
employees may be awarded, through 1995, shares of its common stock at no cost.
In connection with the plan, 250,000 shares have been authorized for issuance;
and at December 31, 1993, all authorized shares had been granted. Vesting of
the shares occurs generally over a five-year period.

9. STOCK AWARDS AND OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
A new performance share plan was implemented in 1993 under which shares
of deferred stock are awarded at no cost to officers and key employees under
the 1988 Plan. The shares vest over a three-year performance period based upon
AMR's ratio of operating cash flow to net assets. During 1993, 246,650
performance shares were granted; none were issued or canceled.
At December 31, 1993, 19,064,488 shares of AMR's common stock were
reserved for the issuance of stock upon the conversion of convertible preferred
stock, the exercise of options and the issuance of restricted stock and
deferred stock.
10. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Substantially all employees of American and employees of certain other
subsidiaries are eligible to participate in pension plans. The defined benefit
plans provide benefits for participating employees based on years of service
and average compensation for a specified period of time before retirement.
Airline pilots and flight engineers also participate in defined contribution
plans for which company contributions are determined as a percentage of
participant compensation.
Costs for all pension plans were approximately $288 million, $247 million
and $187 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

10. RETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
Plan assets consist primarily of government and corporate debt
securities, marketable equity securities, and money market and mutual fund
shares, of which approximately $99 million and $86 million of plan assets at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were invested in shares of mutual
funds managed by a subsidiary of AMR.
The projected benefit obligation was calculated using weighted average
discount rates of 7.50%, 9.00% and 9.25% at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively; rates of increase for compensation of 4.40% at December 31, 1993,
and 4.90% in December 31, 1992 and 1991; and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality
Table. The weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was
10.50% in 1993 and 11.25% in 1992 and 1991. The vested benefit obligation and
plan assets at fair value at December 31, 1993, for plans whose benefits are
guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation are $3.1 billion and
$3.5 billion, respectively.
Pension costs for defined contribution plans were approximately $118
million, $108 million and $90 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
In addition to pension benefits, other postretirement benefits, including
certain health care and life insurance benefits, are also provided to retired
employees. The amount of health care benefits is limited to lifetime maximums
as outlined in the plan. Substantially all employees of American and employees
of certain other subsidiaries may become eligible for these benefits if they
satisfy eligibility requirements during their working lives.
Effective January 1, 1990, AMR's non-union employees that are covered by
the health care and life insurance plan, as well as employees who are
represented by the Transport Workers Union, began making contributions toward
funding a portion of their retiree health care benefits during their working
lives. AMR funds benefits as incurred and began, effective January 1993, to
match employee prefunding.
Effective January 1, 1992, AMR adopted FAS 106, changing the method of
accounting for these benefits. Prior to 1992, other postretirement benefit
expense was recognized by expensing health care claims incurred and annual life
insurance premiums. Such expense was $31 million in 1991 and has not been
restated. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 106 as of January 1, 1992, was
a charge of $917 million ($595 million after tax, or $7.95 per share). This
change also increased other postretirement benefit expense by approximately $90
million ($58 million after tax, or $0.77 per share) for the year ended December
31, 1992.

</TABLE>
Plan assets consist primarily of shares of a mutual fund managed by a
subsidiary of AMR.
For 1993, future benefit costs were estimated assuming per capita cost of
covered medical benefits would increase at an 11% annual rate, decreasing
gradually to a 4% annual growth rate in 2000 and thereafter. A 1% increase in
this annual trend rate would have increased the accumulated other
postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1993, by approximately $118
million and 1993 other postretirement benefit cost by approximately $17
million. In 1992, future benefit costs were estimated assuming per capita cost
of covered medical benefits would increase at a 12% annual rate, decreasing
gradually to a 5% annual growth rate in 1999 and thereafter. The weighted
average discount rate used in estimating the accumulated other postretirement
benefit obligation was 7.50% and 9.00% at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
11. REVENUE AND OTHER EXPENSE ITEMS
Revenues for the second quarter of 1993 include a $115 million positive
adjustment resulting from a change in estimate relating to certain earned
passenger revenues.
Miscellaneous - net in 1993 and 1992 includes provisions of $71 million
and $165 million, respectively, for losses associated with a reservations
system project and resolution of related litigation. Also included in 1993 is
a $125 million charge related to the retirement of 31 McDonnell Douglas 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. Also included in Miscellaneous - net for 1992 are
charges aggregating $25 million for a cash payment representing American's
share of a multi-carrier antitrust settlement and the retirement of the CASA
aircraft fleet of Executive Airlines, Inc., one of the AMR Eagle carriers.
Miscellaneous - net for 1991 includes a provision of $42 million for the
anticipated cost of lease terminations and aircraft dispositions relating to
the retirement of American's Boeing 737 and British Aerospace BAe 146 aircraft
fleets. Also included in 1991 are provisions aggregating $35 million for the
retirement of American's Boeing 747SP aircraft and the Fairchild Metro III
aircraft of certain of the AMR Eagle carriers.
