Statements in this report contain various forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in
this report, the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. All such statements are based on information
available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, regardless of reason. This discussion includes
forecasts of costs per ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel
consumption, each of which is a forward-looking statement. There
are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our forecasts. Such factors include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, competitive factors
within the airline industry which could affect the demand for air
travel, changes in the Company's business strategy and changes in
commodity prices. For additional information regarding these and
other factors see the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Fleet Plan
Attached you will find a copy of our most recent fleet plan for
both American Airlines and American Eagle. This plan includes
AA's recent order for one additional Boeing 757 and one Boeing
737-800, both for delivery in 2002.
Unit Costs
We have raised our unit cost expectations for both AMR
Consolidated and American Jet Operations to reflect, in part, the
continued upward pressure on fuel costs. While we have hedged
close to 70% of our fuel needs for the 4th quarter, these hedges
tend to be in crude oil. As a result of the continued divergence
between crude oil and jet fuel prices, we remain exposed to this
widening of this "crack spread".
AMR Consolidated Cost per ASM (in cents)
Actual -----Forecast-----
Oct Nov Dec
AMR Cost per ASM 11.40 11.29 11.04
American Jet Operations Cost per ASM (in cents)
Actual -----Forecast-----
Oct Nov Dec
AA Cost per ASM 10.87 10.75 10.48
<PAGE> 5
Capacity, Traffic and Fuel
November capacity for AA Jet Operations is expected to come in
below our prior forecast due to weather disruptions that impacted
operations during the beginning of the month. Eagle capacity
growth for the quarter is lower than previously planned due, in
part, to the early retirement of aircraft acquired from Business
Express.
Actual -----Forecast------
Oct Nov Dec
AA Jet Ops:
Capacity (yr/yr) -2.9% -2.9% +0.8%
Traffic (yr/yr) -1.4% -1.6% +7.8%
Fuel ($/gal incl. tax) 0.89 0.88 0.87
Fuel Consumption (mil) 262 250 260
American Eagle:
Capacity (yr/yr) +6.6% +6.4% +5.3%
Traffic (yr/yr) +4.4% +3.4% +7.9%
Fourth Quarter Statistics. Assuming the estimates above, we
expect AA's reported capacity to decrease approximately 1.7% and
traffic to increase about 1% compared to last year's fourth
quarter. Adjusting for the More Room Throughout Coach program,
ASMs would be up approximately 4%.
Fuel. Our fourth quarter fuel forecast -- including all taxes --
is about 89 cents per gallon, roughly 45% higher than last year.
Please call if you have additional questions.
