Summary of Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition,or the trading price of our common stock or other securities. We caution the reader that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate
in a continually changing business environment, and new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict suchnew risks and uncertainties, nor can it assess the extent to which any of the risk factors below or any such new risks and uncertainties, or
any combination thereof, may impact our business. These risks are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. These risks include,
among others, the following:
Risks Related to our Business and Industry•

Downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business.

•

We will need to obtain sufficient financing or other capital to operate successfully.

•

Our high level of debt and other obligations may limit our ability to fund general corporate requirements and obtain additional
financing, may limit our flexibility in responding to competitive developments and may cause our business to be vulnerable to adverse
economic and industry conditions.

•

We have significant pension and other postretirement benefit funding obligations, which may adversely affect our liquidity, results ofoperations and financial condition.

•

If our financial condition worsens, provisions in our credit card processing and other commercial agreements may adversely affectour liquidity.

•

The loss of key personnel upon whom we depend to operate our business or the inability to attract, develop and retain additional
qualified personnel could adversely affect our business.

•

Our business has been and will continue to be materially affected by many changing economic, geopolitical, commercial, regulatory
and other conditions beyond our control, including global events that affect travel behavior, and our results of operations could bevolatile and fluctuate materially due to changes in such conditions.

•

The airline industry is intensely competitive and dynamic.

•

Union disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

•

If we encounter problems with any of our third-party regional operators or third-party service providers, our operations could be
adversely affected by a resulting decline in revenue or negative public perception about our services.

•

Any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results.

•

Changes to our business model that are designed to increase revenues may not be successful and may cause operational difficulties
or decreased demand.

•

Our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights, are valuable, and any inability to protect them may adversely affectour business and financial results.

•

We may be a party to litigation in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could affect our financial position and liquidity.

•

Our ability to utilize our NOLs and other carryforwards may be limited.
6

Table of Contents•

We have a significant amount of goodwill, which is assessed for impairment at least annually. In addition, we may never realize thefull value of our intangible assets or long-lived assets, causing us to record material impairment charges.

•

The commercial relationships that we have with other companies, including any related equity investments, may not produce thereturns or results we expect.

•

Our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs,
increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer
demand, our operating results and liquidity.

•

Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, which may result in increases in our costs, disruptions to our operations,limits on our operating flexibility, reductions in the demand for air travel, and competitive disadvantages.

•

We operate a global business with international operations that are subject to economic and political instability and have been, and in
the future may continue to be, adversely affected by numerous events, circumstances or government actions beyond our control.

•

We may be adversely affected by conflicts overseas, terrorist attacks or other acts of violence, domestically or abroad; the travelindustry continues to face ongoing security concerns.

•

We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,changing consumer preferences and the potential for increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations andinfrastructure.

•

A shortage of pilots or other personnel has in the past and could continue to materially adversely affect our business.

•

We depend on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts. Delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries,
unexpected grounding of aircraft or aircraft engines whether by regulators or by us, or other loss of anticipated fleet capacity, andfailure of new aircraft to receive regulatory approval, be produced or otherwise perform as and when expected, may adversely impact
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

We rely heavily on technology and automated systems to operate our business, and any failure of these technologies or systems
could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

Evolving data privacy requirements (in particular, compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign laws relating to handling of
personal information about individuals) could increase our costs, and any significant data privacy incident could disrupt ouroperations, harm our reputation, expose us to legal risks and otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

•

We are exposed to risks from cyberattacks, and any cybersecurity incidents involving us, our third-party service providers, or one of
our AAdvantage partners or other business partners, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations andfinancial condition.

•

We rely on third-party distribution channels and must effectively manage the costs, rights and functionality of these channels.

•

If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure throughout our system and, at some airports, adequate
slots, we may be unable to operate our existing flight schedule and to expand or change our route network in the future, which may
have a material adverse impact on our operations.

PART IITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
American Airlines Group Inc. (AAG), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiaries are
American Airlines, Inc. (American), Envoy Aviation Group Inc., PSA Airlines, Inc. (PSA) and Piedmont Airlines, Inc. (Piedmont). AAG wasformed in 1982, under the name AMR Corporation (AMR), as the parent company of American, which was founded in 1934.
AAG’s and American’s principal executive offices are located at 1 Skyview Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76155 and their telephone number is682-278-9000.
Airline Operations
Together with our wholly-owned regional airline subsidiaries and third-party regional carriers operating as American Eagle, our primarybusiness activity is the operation of a major network air carrier, providing scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo through ourhubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. and partner
gateways, including in London, Doha, Madrid, Seattle/Tacoma, Sydney and Tokyo (among others). In 2023, approximately 211 million
passengers boarded our flights. During 2023, we launched more than 50 new routes, providing service to close to 350 destinations aroundthe world, and we announced several new destinations for customers to explore in 2024: Copenhagen, Denmark; Naples, Italy; Nice, France;
Governor’s Harbour, Bahamas; Tijuana, Mexico; Tulum, Mexico; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Pasco, Washington and Hyannis, Massachusetts. In
2024, we announced new service to Brisbane, Australia and Veracruz, Mexico, as well as additional nonstop service between New York andTokyo, Japan.
As of December 31, 2023, we operated 965 mainline aircraft supported by our regional airline subsidiaries and third-party regional carriers,
which together operated an additional 556 regional aircraft. See Part I, Item 2. Properties for further discussion of our mainline and regional
aircraft and “Regional” below for further discussion of our regional operations.
American is a founding member of the oneworld® Alliance, which brings together a global network of 13 world-class member airlines andtheir affiliates, working together to provide a superior and seamless travel experience. See “Distribution and Marketing Agreements” below forfurther discussion on the oneworld Alliance and other agreements with domestic and international airlines.
See Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – “2023 Financial Overview,”“AAG’s Results of Operations” and “American’s Results of Operations” for further discussion of AAG’s and American’s operating results andoperating performance. Also, see Note 1(m) to each of AAG’s and American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Items 8A and 8B,
respectively, for passenger revenue by geographic region and Note 13 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A andNote 12 to American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8B for information regarding operating segments.
Regional
Our regional carriers provide scheduled air transportation under the brand name “American Eagle.” The American Eagle carriers include
our wholly-owned regional carriers Envoy Air Inc. (Envoy), PSA and Piedmont, as well as third-party regional carriers including Republic
Airways Inc. (Republic), SkyWest Airlines, Inc. (SkyWest) and Air Wisconsin Airlines LLC (Air Wisconsin). Our regional carriers are an
integral component of our operating network. We rely heavily on regional carriers to serve small markets and also to drive connecting traffic
to our hubs from markets that are not economical for us to serve with larger, mainline aircraft. In addition, regional carriers offer
complementary service in many of our mainline markets. All American Eagle carriers use logos, service marks, aircraft paint schemes anduniforms similar to those of our mainline operations. In 2023, 46 million passengers boarded our regional flights, approximately 45% of whomconnected to or from our mainline flights.
8

Table of Contents

Our regional carrier arrangements are in the form of capacity purchase agreements with our third-party regional partners and similararrangements with our wholly-owned affiliates which provide that all revenues, including passenger, in-flight, ancillary, mail and freight
revenues, go to us. We control marketing, scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories. In return, we agree to pay predetermined fees tothese airlines for operating an agreed-upon number of aircraft, without regard to the number of passengers on board. In addition, these
agreements provide that we either reimburse or pay 100% of certain variable costs, such as airport landing fees, fuel and passenger liability
insurance. In 2023, Air Wisconsin began operating scheduled flights under the American Eagle name.
Cargo
Our cargo division provides a wide range of freight and mail services, with facilities and interline connections available across the globe. In
2023, we served more than 21,000 unique origin and destination pairs, transporting over 900 million pounds of time-sensitive freight and mailacross our network.
Distribution and Marketing Agreements
Passengers can purchase tickets for travel on American through several distribution channels, including our website (www.aa.com), ourmobile app, our reservations centers and third-party distribution channels, including conventional travel agents, travel managementcompanies and online travel agents (e.g., Expedia, including its booking sites Orbitz and Travelocity, and Booking Holdings, including its
booking sites Kayak and Priceline). Over the last decade, American has been a leader in deploying new distribution technologies such as
IATA New Distribution Capability (NDC) technology, which is now the primary means by which we distribute our content to third parties
through aggregators (e.g., Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport and Travelfusion) or through direct connections. NDC technology provides customers
access to enhanced content and functionality, providing a simplified booking experience, and enabling us to provide more relevant, tailoredoffers to customers.
To remain competitive, we will need to successfully manage our distribution costs and rights, increase our distribution flexibility andimprove the functionality of our distribution channels, while maintaining an industry-competitive cost structure. For more discussion, see Part
I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “We rely on third-party distribution channels and must effectively manage the costs, rights and functionality of thesechannels.”
Member of oneworld Alliance
American is a founding member of the oneworld Alliance, which currently includes Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair,
Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas Airways (Qantas), Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian Airlines and SriLankan
Airlines. Oman Air is expected to join the oneworld Alliance in 2024, and Fiji Airways is a oneworld connect partner offering select alliancebenefits to oneworld frequent flyers. The oneworld Alliance links the networks of member carriers and their respective affiliates to enhancecustomer service and provide smooth connections to the destinations served by the alliance, including linking member carriers’ loyalty
programs and providing reciprocal access to the carriers’ airport lounge facilities.
Joint Business Agreements and Other Cooperation Agreements
American has established a transatlantic joint business with British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Finnair, a transpacific joint businesswith Japan Airlines and a joint business covering Australia and New Zealand with Qantas. Joint business agreements enable the carriers
involved to cooperate on flights between particular destinations and allow pooling and sharing of certain revenues and costs, enhanced
loyalty program reciprocity and cooperation in other areas. Joint business agreements have become a common approach among major
carriers to address key regulatory restrictions typically applicable to international airline service, including limitations on the foreign ownershipof airlines and national laws prohibiting foreign airlines from carrying passengers beyond specific gateway cities.
We also have established a strategic alliance with Alaska Airlines covering certain routes on the West Coast of the United States and astrategic alliance with Qatar Airways covering the Middle East in order to provide customers with improved schedules and network
connection opportunities, enhanced loyalty program reciprocity and cooperation in other areas.
9Table of Contents

In July 2010, in connection with a regulatory review related to our transatlantic joint business, we provided certain commitments to theEuropean Commission (EC) regarding, among other things, the availability of take-off and landing slots at London Heathrow (LHR) or London
Gatwick (LGW) airports. The commitments accepted by the EC were binding for 10 years. In anticipation of both the exit of the United
Kingdom from the European Union (EU), commonly referred to as Brexit, and the expiry of the EC commitments in July 2020, the United
Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in October 2018, opened an investigation into the transatlantic joint business. In
September 2020 and April 2022, the CMA adopted interim measures that effectively extend the EC commitments until March 2026 in light of
the uncertainty and other impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CMA restarted its investigation in September 2023 after apause related to the COVID-19 pandemic and plans to complete the investigation before the scheduled expiration of the interim measures inMarch 2026. We continue to cooperate fully with the CMA.
Marketing Relationships
To improve access to each other’s markets, various U.S. and foreign air carriers, including American, have established marketing
agreements with other airlines. These marketing agreements vary in scope and are intended to provide enhanced customer choice by meansof an expanded network with reciprocal loyalty program participation, but do not involve the same level of cooperation as our joint businesses
or strategic alliances. As of December 31, 2023, in addition to the relationships described above, American had codeshare, marketing and/or
loyalty program relationships with Air Tahiti Nui, Cape Air, Cathay Pacific, China Southern Airlines Company Limited (China Southern
Airlines), EL AL Israel Airlines, Etihad Airways, Fiji Airways, GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (GOL), Gulf Air, Hawaiian Airlines, IndiGo,
JetSMART, Jetstar, Jetstar Japan, Malaysia Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Silver Airways, SriLankan
Airlines and Vueling Airlines.
In 2023, we completed codeshare agreements with JetSMART, enabling American’s customers to book travel on JetSMART’s network
beyond Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru, and which will allow for further extension of our network to other markets in South America, such as
Argentina, on JetSMART operated flights, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.
Also in 2023, we launched a codeshare partnership with Philippine Airlines. This partnership introduced the first marketed flights by aPhilippine carrier to several U.S. destinations and allows American’s customers to travel to Manila and Cebu, Philippines.
We had a marketing relationship, the Northeast Alliance arrangement (NEA), with JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) that included analliance agreement with reciprocal codesharing on certain domestic and international routes from New York (John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport) and Boston Logan International Airport. On May 19, 2023,
the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued an order permanently enjoining American and JetBlue from continuing andfurther implementing the NEA. In June 2023, JetBlue delivered a notice of termination of the NEA, effective July 29, 2023, and the carriers
have commenced wind-down activities to accommodate mutual customers.
AAdvantage® Program
Our AAdvantage program was established to develop passenger loyalty by offering benefits and rewards to travelers for their continued
patronage with American and our partners. AAdvantage members enjoy exclusive benefits and earn mileage credits for flying on eligible
tickets on American, any oneworld Alliance airline or other partner airlines. For every dollar spent by flying on an eligible American ticket,
members earn mileage credits, and AAdvantage Gold®, AAdvantage Platinum®, AAdvantage Platinum Pro® and AAdvantage Executive
Platinum® status holders earn additional bonus mileage credits of 40%, 60%, 80% and 120%, respectively. Members also earn mileage
credits by using the services of more than 1,000 non-flight partners, such as our co-branded credit cards, certain hotel and car rental
companies and shopping and dining partners. The AAdvantage program in general, and our co-branded credit card programs in particular,
are material assets of our business and have become increasingly important to our company over time. During 2023 and 2022, cash
payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $5.2 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively.
Mileage credits can be redeemed for travel and upgraded experiences on American and participating airlines, membership to our Admirals
Club®, or for other non-flight awards, such as car rentals and hotels, from our program partners. Travel awards are available on all flights
operated by American and, subject to capacity-controlled seating, on flights operated by our partners. A member’s mileage credits generally
do not expire if that member has any type of qualifying activity at least once every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary
holder of a co-branded credit card. AAdvantage members qualify for status over a 12-month period beginning on March 1 of each year byearning10

Table of Contents

Loyalty Points, which can be earned through a variety of qualifying travel and non-travel activities, including use of our co-branded credit
cards. Status members can enjoy additional travel benefits of the AAdvantage program, including complimentary upgrades, checked bags,
and Preferred and Main Cabin Extra seats, as well as priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage delivery when traveling on American,
any oneworld Alliance airline or select partner airlines. In addition, AAdvantage members can unlock benefits, rewards and choices before,
between and beyond the traditional status tiers with Loyalty Point Rewards. In 2023, we introduced a new business loyalty program,AAdvantage Business, which rewards both eligible companies with AAdvantage miles and their travelers with additional Loyalty Points forbooking business travel through our website or mobile app.
In 2023, the editorial staff of the digital news outlet, The Points Guy, selected AAdvantage as the Best U.S. Airline Loyalty Program. In
addition, AAdvantage was recognized for the Best Elite Program in the Americas at the 2023 Freddie Awards, which is based entirely on
votes from travelers around the world.
Under our agreements with AAdvantage members and program partners, we reserve the right to change the terms of the AAdvantage
program at any time and without notice. Program rules, partners, special offers, awards and requisite mileage levels for awards are subject tochange.
During 2023, our members redeemed approximately 13 million awards, including travel redemptions for flights and upgrades on Americanand other air carriers, as well as redemption of car and hotel awards, club memberships and merchandise. Approximately 8% of our 2023
total revenue passenger miles flown were from award travel.
See Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – “Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates” for more information on our loyalty program.
Industry Competition
Domestic
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. On most of our domestic nonstop routes, we face competing service from otherdomestic airlines, including major network airlines, low-cost carriers and ultra-low-cost carriers such as Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, Delta Air
Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and United Airlines. Between cities that require aconnection, where the major airlines compete via their respective hubs, competition is significant. In addition, we face competition on some ofour connecting routes from airlines operating point-to-point service on such routes. We also compete with all-cargo and charter airlines and,particularly on shorter segments, ground and rail transportation.
In general, beyond nonstop city pairs, carriers that have the greatest ability to seamlessly connect passengers to and from markets have acompetitive advantage. In some cases, however, foreign governments limit U.S. air carriers’ rights to transport passengers beyond
designated gateway cities in foreign countries. In order to improve access to domestic and foreign markets, we have arrangements with otherairlines including through the oneworld Alliance, other cooperation agreements, joint business agreements and marketing relationships, as
further discussed herein.
On all of our routes, pricing decisions are affected, in large part, by the need to meet competition from other airlines. Price competition
occurs on a market-by-market basis through price discounts, changes in pricing structures, fare matching, targeted promotions and loyalty
program initiatives. Airlines typically use discounted fares and other promotions to stimulate traffic during normally weak travel periods, when
they begin service to new cities, when they have excess capacity, to generate cash flow, to maximize revenue per available seat mile or toestablish, increase or preserve market share. Most airlines will quickly match price reductions in a particular market, and we have often
elected to match discounted or promotional fares initiated by other air carriers in certain markets in order to compete in those markets. In
addition, we face pricing pressures from so-called ultra-low-cost carriers, such as Allegiant Air, Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines, which
compete in many of the markets in which we operate, with competition from these carriers increasing and new entrants regularly announcing
their intention to start up new ultra-low-cost carriers.
In addition to price competition, airlines compete for market share by increasing the size of their route system and the number of markets
they serve. The American Eagle regional carriers increase the number of markets we serve by flying to smaller markets and providing
connections at our hubs. Many of our competitors also own or have agreements with regional airlines that provide similar services at theirhubs and other locations. We also compete on the basis of scheduling (frequency and flight times), availability of nonstop flights, on-time
performance, type of equipment, cabin configuration, amenities provided to passengers, loyalty programs, the automation of travel agent
reservation systems, onboard products, health and safety, sustainability initiatives and other services.

International
In addition to our extensive domestic service, we provide international service to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and SouthAmerica, Europe, Qatar, China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand. In providing international air transportation, we competewith other U.S. airlines, foreign investor-owned airlines and foreign state-owned or state-affiliated airlines. Competition has also been
increasing from low-cost airlines executing international long-haul expansion strategies, a trend we expect to continue, in particular with theplanned introduction of long-range narrowbody aircraft in the coming years.
In order to increase our ability to compete in the market for international air transportation service, which is subject to extensive
government regulation, U.S. and foreign carriers have entered into bilateral and multilateral marketing relationships, alliances, cooperationagreements and joint business agreements to exchange traffic among each other’s flights and route networks. See “Distribution andMarketing Agreements” above for further discussion.
Sustainability
Operating a sustainable business that has the ability to serve our stakeholders over the long-term is an important part of our strategy. We
have increased our focus over time on a number of elements that we view as important to build a more sustainable company, including thosedescribed below.
We have received recognition for our progress toward our sustainability goals. American was named the 2023 Air Transport World EcoAirline of the Year, and in 2023 we were named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the first time, one of only two passenger
airlines included in the index. We also returned to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index in 2023 for the third year in a row.
ClimateWe recognize the challenge of climate change and have set ambitious goals to transition to operating a low-carbon airline over time. Our
aim is to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050, and we have set an intermediate target to drive progress toward that goal. We havereceived validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) that our 2035 GHG reduction target complies with the criteria in the
SBTi’s first aviation pathway.
The vast majority of our direct GHG emissions comes from the use of jet fuel in our operations. Our current strategy for reaching net zero
GHG emissions by 2050 is focused on running a more fuel-efficient operation, with more fuel-efficient aircraft, powered by low-carbon fuel. To
do so, we are working to drive progress across several key levers, including:•Continuing to replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with new, more efficient aircraft over time;•

Helping scale the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the aim of transitioning to lower-carbon fuels. Currently,
SAF is not available at the cost or scale necessary to meet our industry’s needs. We continue to enter into agreements topurchase SAF as part of our goal to replace 10% of our conventional jet fuel with SAF in 2030 and to encourage investment
in SAF; and•Evaluating and investing in innovations that may enable commercial aircraft to be powered by low- and no-carbon fuelsources over the long term. For example, we have made direct investments in companies working to develop hydrogenelectric propulsion technology and green hydrogen distribution. We are also an anchor partner of Breakthrough Energy
Catalyst, which aims to make investments to accelerate the development of new clean energy technologies, including SAF.

Achieving our ambitious goals will require significant action and investments by governments, manufacturers and other stakeholders. We
are committed to engaging with our stakeholders to seek to advance these initiatives, and we have dedicated resources to advance our own
progress. Our Board and Corporate Governance and Public Responsibility Committee receive updates on our climate strategy, progress andkey risks regularly. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for oversight of our climate change strategy.

SafetyThe safety of our customers and team members is a top priority. Our approach to safety is guided by our FAA-approved safety
management systems (SMS), an organization-wide approach to identifying and managing risk. Each SMS is comprised of four components:
Safety Policy, Safety Assurance, Safety Risk Management and Safety Promotion. Our Safety Policy sets safety objectives while striving tocomply with applicable regulatory requirements and laws in the countries where we operate and establishing standards for acceptable
operational behaviors.
The Safety Assurance component of our SMS specifies how we use data and conduct quality assurance and internal oversight to validate
the effectiveness of risk controls and the performance of the SMS. The Safety Risk Management (SRM) element of our SMS provides a
decision-making process for identifying hazards and mitigating risk based on a thorough understanding of our systems and their operating
environment. We employ SRM whenever there is a significant change to our operations, such as the delivery of new aircraft. Lastly, theSafety Promotion component includes training and raising awareness among team members so that they can spot potential safety events.
Customers
We fly to close to 350 destinations in the United States and internationally, and we are committed to providing our customers with a worldclass travel experience. We continued to rigorously measure and track customer satisfaction through passenger surveys in 2023, efforts that
led to further improvements in our operations and the services we provide. In 2023, we achieved our best-ever full year completion factor,
with the lowest number of cancellations annually since the 2013 merger with US Airways Group, Inc., which led to a record Likelihood to
Recommend score for the full year. Additionally in 2023, we were recognized for the sixth consecutive year with the prestigious Five Star
rating in The APEX Official Airline Ratings – Global Airline category. This rating is based on verified customer feedback on the overall travel
experience.
Our People
The airline business is labor intensive, and our team members are critical to delivering for our customers. The operational complexity ofour business requires a diverse team of personnel trained and experienced in a variety of technical areas such as flight operations, ground
operations, safety and maintenance, customer service and airline scheduling and planning. Fostering a culture where our team members feel
supported to take care of our customers is critical to our success. To do this, we must continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment,
helping all team members reach their full potential and providing them with the right resources and support.
In 2023, mainline and regional salaries, wages and benefits were our largest expense and represented 34% of our total operating
expenses. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 132,100 active full-time equivalent employees, approximately 87% of whomwere represented by various labor unions responsible for negotiating the collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) governing theircompensation and job duties, among other things.
Talent Development
We focus on providing our team members the tools, training and resources they need to do their best work. We maintain a suite ofprograms aimed at helping our people develop the skills and experience they need to succeed in their roles and build rewarding, long-term
careers within our company. Additionally, we have partnered with leading online learning platforms to make professional development
available on-demand to all of our team members.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Cultivating an environment that celebrates diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a priority for us, and we seek to create a workplace
where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and encouraged, where team members feel comfortable to be their authentic
selves and where we are always learning from one another. Our goal is to make culture a competitive advantage so people will want to workwith us, fly with us and invest in us. We are implementing a multiyear strategy focused on embedding DEI throughout our company by:•

Hiring, engaging and retaining talent for growth;•

Delivering excellence in our operations to serve and expand our global markets;•

Striving to have our teams effectively serve the communities we represent; and•Driving innovation to build competitive advantages.

In 2023, we received a perfect score on the Disability Equality Index for the eighth consecutive year and were named one of the bestplaces to work for disability inclusion. We also received a top score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024
Corporate Equality Index, an assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Competitive Pay and Comprehensive Benefits
We seek to offer competitive pay, comprehensive benefits and a wide variety of resources designed to support the physical, behavioral
and financial well-being of our team members and their families, including medical coverage that is intended to be affordable and flexible
along with healthcare navigation and support tools.
Our internal recognition programs give team members and customers the opportunity to show their appreciation for a job well done,
including through our Nonstop Thanks program whereby team members can award each other points for exceptional service or as an
expression of gratitude. Recognition points earned through the recognition program can be redeemed for items in an online catalog. In 2023,
our team members were recognized by customers, peers and company leaders approximately three million times and more than 1,600 peer
nominations were submitted for the annual Circle of Excellence, the highest honor that we bestow upon our team members for their careerachievements.
Our future success depends in large part on our ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified management, technical and otherpersonnel. Retaining and recruiting people with the appropriate skills became particularly challenging as the economy in general, and theairline industry in particular, recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, and there remains intense competition for the human resources
necessary to operate our business successfully. Like many other airlines, we have experienced and continue to experience periodic
shortages of frontline team members as a result. For more discussion, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “The loss of key personnel uponwhom we depend to operate our business or the inability to attract, develop and retain additional qualified personnel could adversely affectour business.”
Labor Relations
Labor relations in the air transportation industry are regulated under the Railway Labor Act (RLA), which vests in the National Mediation
Board (NMB) certain functions with respect to disputes between airlines and labor unions relating to union representation and CBAs.

Represents approximate number of active employees as of December 31, 2023.

In 2023, a new four-year CBA was ratified by the APA, the union representing our mainline pilots. Additionally, in January 2024, a new
five-year CBA was ratified by the CWA-IBT, which is amendable in 2029. The CBA covering our mainline flight attendants is now amendable
and negotiations continue. Among our wholly-owned regional subsidiaries, Piedmont fleet and passenger service and PSA flight attendants
have agreements that are now amendable and are engaged in negotiations.
For more discussion, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Union disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may
adversely affect our operations and financial performance.”
Aircraft FuelOur operations and financial results are materially affected by the availability and price of aircraft fuel, which represents one of the largest
single cost items in our business. Based on our 2024 forecasted mainline and regional fuel consumption, we estimate that a one cent per
gallon increase in the price of aircraft fuel would increase our 2024 annual fuel expense by approximately $45 million.

Table of Contents

The following table shows annual aircraft fuel consumption and costs, including taxes, for our mainline and regional operations for 2023
and 2022 (gallons and aircraft fuel expense in millions).

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not
to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions andother factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully
exposed to fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices.
Aircraft fuel prices have in the past, and may in the future, experience substantial volatility. We cannot predict the future availability, pricevolatility or cost of aircraft fuel. For more discussion, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our business is very dependent on the price andavailability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs, increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of
aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity.”
Seasonality and Other Factors
Due to the greater demand for air travel during the summer months, revenues in the airline industry exhibit seasonal patterns based on thepeak travel periods. General economic conditions, fears of terrorism or war, fare initiatives, fluctuations in fuel prices, labor actions, weather,natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, geopolitical factors and other factors could impact this seasonal pattern. Therefore, our quarterly
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year, and historical operating results in a quarterly or
annual period are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
Domestic and Global Regulatory Landscape
GeneralAirlines are subject to extensive domestic and international regulatory requirements. Domestically, the DOT and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) exercise significant regulatory authority over air carriers.
The DOT, among other things, oversees and regulates domestic and international codeshare agreements, international route authorities,
competition and consumer protection matters including accessibility, the display and sharing of ancillary fee information and refund practices.
The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, along with the DOT in certain instances, have jurisdiction over airline antitrust matters.
The FAA similarly exercises safety oversight and regulates most operational matters of our business, including how we operate andmaintain our aircraft. FAA requirements cover, among other things, required technology and necessary onboard equipment; systems,
procedures and training necessary to ensure the continuous airworthiness of our fleet of aircraft; safety measures and equipment; crewscheduling limitations and experience requirements; and many other technical aspects of airline operations. Additionally, our pilots and other
employees are subject to rigorous certification standards, and our pilots and other crew members must adhere to flight time and rest
requirements.
The FAA also controls the national airspace system, including operational rules and fees for air traffic control (ATC) services. The
efficiency, reliability and capacity of the ATC network has a significant impact on our costs and on the timeliness of our operations.
The U.S. Postal Service has jurisdiction over certain aspects of the transportation of mail and related services.
Airport Access and Operations
Domestically, any U.S. airline authorized by the DOT is generally free to operate scheduled passenger service between any two points
within the U.S. and its territories, with the exception of certain airports that require landing and take-off rights and authorizations (slots) andother facilities, and certain airports that impose geographic limitations on operations or curtail operations based on the time of day.
Operations at three major domestic airports we serve (JFK and LGA in New York City, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport(DCA) near Washington, D.C.) and many foreign airports we serve (including LHR) are regulated by governmental entities through allocationsof slots or similar regulatory mechanisms
16

Table of Contents

that limit the rights of carriers to conduct operations at those airports. Each slot represents the authorization to land at and take off from theparticular airport during a specified time period. In addition to slot restrictions, operations at DCA and LGA are also limited based on a socalled “perimeter rule” which generally limits the stage length of the flights that can be operated from those airports to 1,250 and 1,500 miles,
respectively. Generally, our ability to retain slots is conditioned on the continued use of such slots, and in the absence of use, the slots are
subject to forfeiture. In certain circumstances, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, regulators may issue slot waivers which temporarilysuspend or amend slot usage requirements, and we have used slot waivers at times to reduce flying levels during periods of reduced
demand for travel. Moreover, on multiple occasions in 2023, the FAA issued slot waivers for New York City area airports as a result of
operational challenges arising from air traffic control staffing shortages; those waivers expire in October 2024, and we cannot guarantee thatsuch waivers will be made available to us, or that upon expiration or cancellation of such waivers it will be economical for us to resume priorlevels of flying to destinations where we have operated a reduced service. If we are forced to surrender slots or other rights, we may beunable to provide our desired level of service to or from certain destinations in the future. For more discussion, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk
Factors – “If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure throughout our system and, at some airports,
adequate slots, we may be unable to operate our existing flight schedule and to expand or change our route network in the future, which may
have a material adverse impact on our operations.”
Our ability to provide service can also be impaired at airports where the airport gates and other facilities are currently inadequate toaccommodate all of the service that we would like to provide, or where we have no access to gates at all.
Existing law also permits domestic local airport authorities to implement procedures and impose restrictions designed to abate noise,provided such procedures and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with interstate or foreign commerce or the national transportation
system. In some instances, these restrictions have caused curtailments in service or increases in operating costs.
Airline Fares, Taxes and User Fees
Airlines are permitted to establish their own domestic fares without governmental regulation. The DOT maintains authority over certain
international fares, rates and charges, but only applies this authority on a limited basis. In addition, international fares and rates are
sometimes subject to the jurisdiction of the governments of the foreign countries which we serve.
Airlines are obligated to collect a federal excise tax, commonly referred to as the “ticket tax,” on domestic and international airtransportation, and to collect other taxes and charge other fees, such as foreign taxes, security fees and passenger facility charges. Althoughthese taxes and fees are not our operating expenses, they represent an additional cost to our customers. These taxes and fees are subject toincrease from time to time.
DOT Passenger Protection Rules
The DOT regulates airline interactions with passengers through the ticketing process, at the airport and onboard the aircraft. Among otherthings, these regulations govern how our fares are displayed online, required customer disclosures, access by disabled passengers, handlingof long onboard flight delays and reporting of mishandled bags. In 2023, the DOT finalized rules for accessible lavatories on single-aisle
aircraft and has continued to work through proposals for a number of disability regulations that will impact us, including penalties forwheelchair loss or damage and prompt wheelchair assistance. The DOT has also proposed rules requiring refunds for cancellations andsignificant delays and rules mandating the display of ancillary fees during the initial itinerary search.
International
International air transportation is subject to extensive government regulation, including aviation agreements between the U.S. and othercountries or governmental authorities, such as the EU. Moreover, our alliances with international carriers may be subject to the jurisdiction
and regulations of various foreign agencies. The U.S. government has negotiated “open skies” agreements with more than 130 trading
partners, which allow unrestricted route authority access between the U.S. and the foreign markets.
In addition, foreign countries impose passenger protection rules, which are analogous to, and often meet or exceed the requirements of,
the DOT passenger protection rules discussed above. In cases where these foreign requirements exceed the DOT rules, we may bear
additional burdens and liabilities. Further, various foreign airport authorities impose noise and curfew restrictions at their local airports.

Table of Contents

Security
All aspects of civil aviation and border security in the U.S. affecting U.S. carriers are controlled or regulated by the federal government
through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The TSA is responsible for the
security of the nation’s transportation systems. The TSA’s requirements for aviation security include, among other things, screening ofpassengers, baggage, cargo, mail, employees and vendors; carriage of federal air marshals at no charge; and continuous backgroundchecks of all employees and vendor employees with access to secure areas of airports. Funding for the TSA is provided by a combination of
air carrier fees, passenger fees and taxpayer funds. The CBP is responsible for securing the nation’s borders by combining customs,
immigration and agricultural protection. The CBP regulatory requirements include the transmission of advanced passport data to facilitate theU.S. entry process. Funding for a portion of CBP operations is provided by a combination of fees collected by airlines. Our international
service further requires us to comply with host government civil aviation security regimes and foreign border control authorities.
Environmental Matters
Environmental Regulation
The airline industry is subject to various laws and government regulations concerning environmental matters in the U.S. and othercountries. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact on our operations include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the Clean Air
Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies may promulgate
regulations that have an impact on our 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 laws and regulations
that are similar to or stricter than federal requirements.
Revised underground storage tank regulations issued by the EPA in 2015 have affected certain airport fuel hydrant systems, withmodifications of such systems needed in order to comply with applicable portions of the revised regulations. In addition, related to the EPA
and state regulations pertaining to storm water management, several U.S. airport authorities are actively engaged in efforts to limit
discharges of deicing fluid into the environment, often by requiring airlines to participate in the building or reconfiguring of airport deicing
facilities. Additionally, compliance with updated federal and state regulations governing fire extinguishing foams are expected to require
modification to fire suppression systems that we operate, as well as those maintained by airports. On November 23, 2022, the EPA also
published the final rule for particulate matter emission standards and test procedures for civil aircraft engines, which took effect on December
23, 2022. These or similar regulations could directly or indirectly result in increased compliance costs, but at this time we do not expect thesecosts to be material.
The environmental laws include those related to responsibility for potential soil and groundwater contamination. We are conducting
investigation and remediation activities to address soil and groundwater conditions at several sites, including airports and maintenancebases. We presently anticipate that the ongoing costs of such activities will not have a material impact on our operations.
We employ an environmental management system that provides a systematic approach for compliance with environmental regulations andmanagement of a broad range of environmental issues, including but not limited to air emissions, hazardous waste, underground tanks, andaircraft water quality.
Global and Domestic Regulation Related to Climate Change
Climate change-related regulatory activity and developments may adversely affect our business and financial results by requiring us toadapt to rapidly evolving domestic and international regulation and to achieve emission reductions before cost-effective technologies areavailable, for example, through requirements to make capital investments to purchase specific types of equipment or technologies, purchasecarbon offset credits or otherwise incur additional costs related to our emissions. Such trends may also impact us indirectly by increasing ouroperating costs, including fuel costs.
18

Table of Contents

The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)
We are subject to the requirements of the CORSIA, an international, market-based emissions reduction program adopted by theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2016. CORSIA is intended to achieve carbon-neutral growth in the international aviation
sector from 2021 until 2035 through the purchase of certain types of carbon offset credits or the use of eligible renewable fuels.
For each year from 2021 through 2032, CORSIA requires airlines to compensate for the rate of growth of GHG emissions of the aviation
sector as a whole, relative to a predetermined baseline as determined by ICAO. ICAO originally defined the baseline as the average
emissions from covered flights in 2019 and 2020. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air travel, in June 2020, ICAO
removed 2020 from the baseline calculation for the CORSIA pilot phase (2021-2023). In October 2022, ICAO member countries agreed that
85% of 2019 emissions would be used as the baseline for the remainder of CORSIA’s term (2024-2035).
The CORSIA program is being implemented in three phases: a pilot phase that ran from 2021 through 2023, followed by a first phase of
the program beginning in 2024 through 2026 and a second phase beginning in 2027 through 2035. ICAO member countries are expected toenact legislation to implement CORSIA. We expect to be required to purchase carbon offset credits to comply with CORSIA’s first phase,
however, the U.S. government has not yet enacted implementation legislation.
Our future costs of CORSIA compliance are uncertain due to the uncertainty with respect to the future growth of covered GHG emissions,the supply and price of CORSIA-eligible carbon offset credits and development of the market for eligible renewable fuels.
European GHG Emissions Regulations
On May 16, 2023, revisions to the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) were published in the Official Journal of the EU. Pursuant tothese revisions, the allocation of emissions allowances currently granted for free to aircraft operators under the EU ETS will be phased out by
2026, and CORSIA will apply to flights to and from EU countries that are ICAO member countries. The EC will also be required to undertakea review in 2026 to determine whether CORSIA is sufficiently delivering on the goals of the Paris Agreement and, to the extent it isdetermined not to be, would extend the scope of the EU ETS to include all departing flights from the European Economic Area (EEA) (andnot just flights within the EEA and flights departing the EEA to the United Kingdom and Switzerland).
In 2023, the European Parliament and the European Council formally adopted the EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation initiative to create a SAF
blending mandate for aviation fuel suppliers. The agreed text requires fuel suppliers to ensure that minimum shares of SAF are madeavailable to aircraft operators at EU airports starting January 1, 2025. Such minimum requirements are 2% in 2025, 6% in 2030, 20% in
2035, 34% in 2040, 42% in 2045 and 70% in 2050. In addition, a specific proportion of the fuel mix (1.2% in 2030, 2% in 2032, 5% in 2035
and progressively reaching 35% in 2050) must comprise synthetic fuels such as e-kerosene, and as of 2025, there will be an EU label for theenvironmental performance of flights, such that airlines may market their flights indicating the expected carbon footprint per passenger. The
potential effects on our business of such requirements are uncertain at this time. The UK and other countries have adopted or are
considering adoption of a SAF blending mandate similar to that of the EU.
U.S. Emissions Standards for Aircraft Engines
In January 2021, the EPA adopted GHG emission standards for new aircraft engines, which are aligned with the 2017 ICAO aircraft engine
GHG emission standards. Like the ICAO standards, the final EPA standards for new aircraft engines would not apply retroactively to engines
on in-service aircraft. On November 15, 2021, the EPA announced that it would not rewrite the existing aircraft engine GHG emissions
standards but would seek more ambitious new aircraft GHG emission standards within the ICAO process. Since then, the EPA and ICAO’s
Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection have had several meetings on this issue, but no further progress has been made. In
addition, several states and environmental groups have challenged the EPA’s standards and on June 30, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals forthe D.C. Circuit denied such petitions and upheld the EPA’s GHG emissions standards.

Impact of Regulatory Requirements on Our Business
Regulatory requirements, including but not limited to those discussed above, affect operations and increase operating costs for the airline
industry, including our airline subsidiaries, and future regulatory developments may continue to do the same. For additional information, seePart I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Evolving cybersecurity and data privacy requirements (in particular, compliance with applicable federal, stateand foreign laws relating to handling of personal information about individuals) could increase our costs, and any significant cybersecurity ordata privacy incident could disrupt our operations, harm our reputation, expose us to legal risks and otherwise materially adversely affect ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition,” “If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure
throughout our system and, at some airports, adequate slots, we may be unable to operate our existing flight schedule and to expand orchange our route network in the future, which may have a material adverse impact on our operations,” “Our business is subject to extensive
government regulation, which may result in increases in our costs, disruptions to our operations, limits on our operating flexibility, reductionsin the demand for air travel, and competitive disadvantages,” “The airline industry is heavily taxed,” “We are subject to many forms ofenvironmental and noise regulation and may incur substantial costs as a result,” and “We are subject to risks associated with climate change,
including increased regulation of our GHG emissions, changing consumer preferences and the potential for increased impacts of severe
weather events on our operations and infrastructure.”

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Below are certain risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, or the trading price of ourcommon stock or other securities. We caution the reader that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing
business environment, and new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict such new risks anduncertainties, nor can it assess the extent to which any of the risk factors below or any such new risks and uncertainties, or any combination
thereof, may impact our business.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
Downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business.
Due to the discretionary nature of business and leisure travel spending and the highly competitive nature of the airline industry, ourrevenues are heavily influenced by the condition of the U.S. economy and economies in other regions of the world. Unfavorable conditions inthese broader economies have resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased passenger demand for air travel, changes in booking
practices and related reactions by our competitors, all of which in turn have had, and may have in the future, a strong negative effect on ourbusiness. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated decline in economic activity and increase in unemployment levels had asevere and prolonged effect on the global economy generally and, in turn, resulted in a prolonged period of depressed demand for air travel.
In addition, a rapid economic expansion following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant inflationary pressures andvolatility in certain currencies, which have increased our costs for aircraft fuel, wages and benefits and other goods and services we require
to operate our business, as well as increasing the interest expense on our variable-rate indebtedness.
We will need to obtain sufficient financing or other capital to operate successfully.
Our business plan contemplates continued significant investments related to our fleet, improving the experience of our customers andupdating our facilities. Significant capital resources will be required to execute this plan. We estimate that, based on our commitments as ofDecember 31, 2023, our planned aggregate expenditures for aircraft purchase commitments and certain engines for calendar years 2024
through 2028 would be approximately $11.7 billion. We may also require financing to refinance maturing obligations and to provide liquidity tofund other corporate requirements. Accordingly, we will need substantial liquidity, financing or other capital resources to finance such aircraft
and engines and meet such other liquidity needs. If needed, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all,due to, among other factors: our substantial level of existing indebtedness, particularly following transactions we completed in response to
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; our non-investment grade credit rating; volatile or otherwise unfavorable market conditions; and theavailability of assets to use as collateral for loans or other indebtedness, which has been reduced significantly as a result of certain financing
transactions we have undertaken since the beginning of 2020 and may be further reduced. If we are unable to arrange any such required
financing at customary advance rates and on terms and conditions acceptable to us, we may need to use cash from operations or cash on
hand to purchase aircraft and engines or fund our other corporate requirements, or may seek to negotiate deferrals for such aircraft andengines with the applicable manufacturers or otherwise defer corporate obligations. Depending on numerous factors applicable at the time
we seek capital, many of which are out of our control, such as the state of the domestic and global economies, the capital and credit markets’
view of our prospects and the airline industry in general, and the general availability of debt and equity capital, the financing or other capital
resources that we will need may not be available to us, or may be available only on onerous terms and conditions. Furthermore, we holdsignificant balances of cash and short-term investments, including as necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations, some of which areheld in deposit accounts at commercial banks in excess of the government-provided deposit insurance. There can be no assurance that wewill be successful in obtaining financing or other needed sources of capital to operate successfully or to fund our committed expenditures. An
inability to obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms would limit our ability to execute necessary capital projects and would have amaterial adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our high level of debt and other obligations may limit our ability to fund general corporate requirements and obtain additional
financing, may limit our flexibility in responding to competitive developments and may cause our business to be vulnerable toadverse economic and industry conditions.
We have significant amounts of indebtedness and other financial obligations, including pension obligations, obligations to make future
payments on flight equipment and property leases related to airport and other facilities, and substantial non-cancelable obligations underaircraft and related spare engine purchase agreements. Moreover, currently a very significant portion of our assets are pledged to secure ourindebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness and other21

Table of Contents

obligations, which are generally greater than the indebtedness and other obligations of our competitors, could have important consequences.
For example, they may:•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness;•

limit our ability to obtain additional funding for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and general
corporate purposes, and adversely affect the terms on which such funding can be obtained;•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our liquidity or cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness andother obligations, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes;•

make us more vulnerable to economic downturns, industry conditions and catastrophic external events, particularly relative
to competitors with lower relative levels of financial leverage;•

significantly constrain our ability to respond, or respond quickly, to unexpected disruptions in our own operations, the U.S. or
global economies, or the businesses in which we operate, or to take advantage of opportunities that would improve ourbusiness, operations, or competitive position versus other airlines;•

limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures and reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business andeconomic conditions;•bear interest at floating rates, subjecting us to volatility in interest expenses as interest rates fluctuate;•

contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents andamounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities and collateral coverage ratios and peak debt service coverage
ratios;•

impact availability of borrowings under revolving lines of credit; and•contain restrictive covenants that could, among other things:◦

limit our ability to merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, makeinvestments and pay dividends; and◦if breached, result in an event of default under our other indebtedness.

In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic we were required to obtain a significant amount of additional financing from a variety ofsources and we cannot guarantee that we will not need to obtain additional financing in the future. Such financing may include the issuanceof additional unsecured or secured debt securities, equity securities and equity-linked securities as well as additional bilateral and syndicatedsecured and/or unsecured credit facilities, among other items. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any such financing transactions,which may be in the near term, or that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any such actions may
be material in nature, could result in the incurrence and issuance of significant additional indebtedness or equity and could impose significant
covenants and restrictions to which we are not currently subject. Moreover, as a result of the financing activities we undertook in response to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of financings with respect to which such covenants and provisions apply has increased, thereby
subjecting us to more substantial risk of cross-default and cross-acceleration in the event of breach, and additional covenants and provisions
could become binding on us should we seek additional liquidity in the future.
The obligations discussed above, including those imposed as a result of any additional financings we may undertake, could also impact
our ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, and our flexibility in the conduct of our business, and could materially adversely affect our
liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, a substantial amount of our long-term indebtedness bears interest at floating interest rates, which tend to fluctuate based on
general short-term interest rates, rates set by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks, the supply of and demand for credit intreasury repurchase or other markets and general economic conditions. We have not hedged our interest rate exposure with respect to our
floating rate debt. Accordingly, our interest expense for any particular period will fluctuate based on the relevant benchmark rate and othervariable interest rates. In 2022 and 2023, in response to rising inflation which coincided with a rapid rebound of economic activity as
governments lifted restrictions and economies reopened following the COVID-19 pandemic, central banks around the world—including the
U.S. Federal
22

Table of Contents

Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England—undertook a cycle of raising interest rates, which has consequently
increased the interest we pay on our floating-rate indebtedness. To the extent the interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt remain
elevated or continue to increase, our interest expense will increase, in which event we may have difficulties making interest payments andfunding our other fixed costs, and our available cash flow for general corporate requirements may be adversely affected.
In connection with the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a reference rate in June 2023, the U.S. Federal
Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, chose the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), andspecifically Term SOFR, as the recommended risk-free reference rate for the U.S. (calculated based on repurchase agreements backed bytreasury securities). Prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR, we amended substantially all of our LIBOR-based financing arrangements totransition them to successor rates, primarily Term SOFR. We cannot predict the extent to which Term SOFR will gain widespread acceptanceas a replacement for LIBOR, the consequences of the replacement of LIBOR on financial markets generally or on our business, financial
condition or results of operations specifically, and our transition to successor rates could cause the amount of interest payable on our longterm debt to be different or higher than expected.
We have significant pension and other postretirement benefit funding obligations, which may adversely affect our liquidity,
results of operations and financial condition.
Our pension funding obligations are significant. The amount of our pension funding obligations will depend on the performance ofinvestments held in trust by the pension plans, interest rates for determining liabilities and actuarial experience. We also have significant
obligations for retiree medical and other postretirement benefits.
Additionally, we participate in the IAM National Pension Fund (the IAM Pension Fund). The funding status of the IAM Pension Fund issubject to the risk that other employers may not meet their obligations, which under certain circumstances could cause our obligations toincrease. On March 29, 2019, the actuary for the IAM Pension Fund certified that the fund was in “endangered” status despite reporting afunded status of over 80%. Additionally, the IAM Pension Fund’s Board voluntarily elected to enter into “critical” status on April 17, 2019.
Upon entry into critical status, the IAM Pension Fund was required by law to adopt a rehabilitation plan aimed at restoring the financial healthof the pension plan and did so on April 17, 2019 (the Rehabilitation Plan). Under the Rehabilitation Plan, American was subject to an
immaterial contribution surcharge, which ceased to apply on June 14, 2019 upon American’s mandatory adoption of a contribution schedule
under the Rehabilitation Plan. The contribution schedule requires 2.5% annual increases to its contribution rate. This contribution schedule
will remain in effect through the earlier of December 31, 2031 or the date the IAM Pension Fund emerges from critical status. Furthermore, if
we were to withdraw from the IAM Pension Fund, if the IAM Pension fund were to terminate, or if the IAM Pension Fund were to undergo amass withdrawal, we could be subject to liability as imposed by law.
If our financial condition worsens, provisions in our credit card processing and other commercial agreements may adversely
affect our liquidity.
We have agreements with companies that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services. These
agreements allow these credit card processing companies, under certain conditions (including, with respect to certain agreements, our failure
to maintain certain levels of liquidity), to hold an amount of our cash (referred to as a holdback) equal to some or all of the advance ticket
sales that have been processed by that credit card processor, but for which we have not yet provided the air transportation. Additionally, suchcredit card processing companies may require cash or other collateral reserves to be established. These credit card processing companies
are not currently entitled to maintain any holdbacks pursuant to these requirements. These holdback requirements can be implemented at thediscretion of the credit card processing companies upon the occurrence of specific events, including material adverse changes in our
financial condition or the triggering of a liquidity covenant. The imposition of holdback requirements, up to and including 100% of relevant
advanced ticket sales, would materially reduce our liquidity. Likewise, other of our commercial agreements contain provisions that allow
counterparties to impose less-favorable terms, including the acceleration of amounts due, in the event of material adverse changes in our
financial condition. For example, we maintain certain letters of credit as well as insurance- and surety-related agreements under whichcounterparties may require collateral, including cash collateral.

The loss of key personnel upon whom we depend to operate our business or the inability to attract, develop and retain
additional qualified personnel could adversely affect our business.
We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified management,
technical and other personnel. Retaining and recruiting people with the appropriate skills is particularly challenging as the economy ingeneral, and the airline industry in particular, continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in competition for the humanresources necessary to operate our business successfully. We may not be successful in attracting, developing or retaining key personnel orother highly qualified personnel. In addition, competition for skilled personnel has intensified and may continue to intensify if overall industry
capacity continues to increase and/or we were to incur attrition at levels higher than we have historically. Any inability to attract, develop andretain significant numbers of qualified management and other personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, results ofoperations and financial condition.
Our business has been and will continue to be materially affected by many changing economic, geopolitical, commercial,
regulatory and other conditions beyond our control, including global events that affect travel behavior, and our results ofoperations could be volatile and fluctuate materially due to changes in such conditions.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and will continue to be affected by many changing economic,
geopolitical, commercial, regulatory and other conditions beyond our control, including, among others:•

actual or potential changes in international, national, regional and local economic, business and financial conditions,
including recession, inflation and higher interest rates;•

the occurrence of wars, conflicts, terrorist attacks and geopolitical instability;•changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, spending patterns and demographic trends;•

changes in the competitive environment due to industry consolidation, changes in airline alliance affiliations and otherfactors;•

delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries, unexpected grounding of aircraft or aircraft engines whether by regulators or by us, orother loss of anticipated fleet capacity, and failure of new aircraft to receive regulatory approval, be produced or otherwise
perform as and when expected;•

actual or potential disruptions to the U.S. National Airspace System (the ATC system);•increases in costs of safety, security and environmental measures;•increases in costs related to meeting our climate goals or obligations, including in respect of the costs to be incurred tomigrate to increased use of SAF in lieu of conventional aviation fuel;•outbreaks of diseases or other public health or safety concerns that affect travel behavior, such as occurred during the
COVID-19 pandemic; and•weather and natural disasters, including increases in frequency, severity or duration of such disasters, and related costs
caused by more severe weather due to climate change.

The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the measures governments and private organizations worldwide implemented in an attempt tocontain its spread, resulted in significant volatility in demand for air travel, which adversely affected our business, operations and financial
condition to an unprecedented extent and for a prolonged period. Measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic—such as travel
restrictions, including testing regimes, “stay at home” and quarantine orders, limitations on public gatherings, cancellation of public eventsand many others—initially resulted in a precipitous decline in demand for both domestic and international business and leisure travel. In
response to this material deterioration in demand, we took a number of aggressive actions to ameliorate the impacts to our business,
operations and financial condition. While governments have loosened or lifted COVID-19-related travel restrictions, the potential for aresurgence of COVID-19, including the emergence and spread of any new variants, and its after effects remain uncertain, and there can be
no assurance that any mitigating actions we take in response will be sufficient to avert a deterioration in our business, financial condition andresults of operations. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated changes in business practices which may persist. For example,
businesses and other travelers may continue to forego air travel in24

Table of Contents

favor of remote or flexible working policies and communication alternatives such as videoconferencing. In addition, businesses may seek toreduce travel costs by requiring the purchase of less expensive tickets, thereby potentially impacting our average revenue per available seatmile.
In addition to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an outbreak of another contagious disease—such as has occurred in the past with
the Ebola virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, H1N1 influenza virus, avian flu, Zika virus or any
other similar illness—if it were to become associated with air travel or persist for an extended period, could materially affect the airline
industry and us by reducing revenues and adversely impacting our operations and passengers’ travel behavior. As a result of these or otherconditions beyond our control, our results of operations could be volatile and subject to rapid and unexpected change. In addition, due togenerally weaker demand for air travel during the winter, our revenues in the first and fourth quarters of the year could be weaker thanrevenues in the second and third quarters of the year.
The airline industry is intensely competitive and dynamic.
Our competitors include other major domestic airlines and foreign, regional and new entrant airlines, as well as joint ventures formed bysome of these airlines, many of which have greater financial or other resources and/or lower cost structures than ours, as well as other formsof transportation, such as rail and private automobiles or alternatives to commuting or business travel including remote or flexible working
policies and communication alternatives such as videoconferencing. In many of our markets, we compete with at least one low-cost carrier(including so-called ultra-low-cost carriers). Our revenues are sensitive to the actions of other carriers in many areas, including pricing,scheduling, capacity, fees (including cancellation, change and baggage fees), amenities, loyalty benefits and promotions, which can have asubstantial adverse impact not only on our revenues, but on overall industry revenues. These factors may become even more significant inperiods when the industry experiences large losses (such as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic), as airlines under financial stress, orin bankruptcy, may institute pricing or fee structures intended to attract more customers to achieve near-term survival at the expense of longterm viability.
Low-cost carriers (including so-called ultra-low-cost carriers) have a profound impact on industry revenues. Using the advantage of low
unit costs, these carriers offer lower fares in order to shift demand from larger, more established airlines, and represent significant
competitors, particularly for customers who fly infrequently or are price sensitive and therefore tend not to be loyal to any one particularcarrier. Many of these carriers, including several that have recently commenced operations, have announced growth strategies including
commitments to acquire significant numbers of new aircraft for delivery in the next few years. These low-cost carriers are attempting tocontinue to increase their market share through growth and consolidation, and are expected to continue to have an impact on our revenues
and overall performance. We and several other large network carriers have implemented “Basic Economy” fares designed to more effectively
compete against low-cost carriers, but we cannot predict whether these initiatives will be successful. While historically these carriers haveprovided competition in domestic markets, we have recently experienced new competition from low-cost carriers on international routes,
including low-cost airlines executing international long-haul expansion strategies, a trend likely to continue, in particular with the planned
introduction of long-range narrowbody aircraft in coming years. Additionally, other carriers focused on premium passenger travel areattempting to implement growth strategies. The actions of existing or future carriers, including those described above, could have a material
adverse effect on our operations and financial performance.
In certain instances, other air carriers are attempting to operate scheduled service with a business model that relies on FAA Part 135, a
regulatory environment that is generally less stringent than the rules applicable to our airline and similar airlines that operate under FAA Part
121 and which provides those airlines certain competitive advantages that Part 121 airlines cannot replicate. We have objected to the DOT
and TSA that the less stringent Part 135 rules were never intended as a basis for scheduled passenger service and that business model
should not be permissible, and the agencies’ review is ongoing. A DOT or TSA decision to allow scheduled passenger service under Part 135
and the actions of existing or future carriers using that business model, including those described above, could adversely impact ourbusiness, financial condition and results of operations.
We provide air travel internationally, directly as well as through joint businesses, strategic alliances, codeshare and similar arrangements
to which we are a party. While our network is comprehensive, compared to some of our key global competitors, we generally have somewhat
greater relative exposure to certain regions (for example, Latin America) and somewhat lower relative exposure to others (for example, Asia).
Our financial performance relative to our key competitors will therefore be influenced significantly by macro-economic conditions in particularregions around the world and the relative exposure of our network to the markets in those regions, including the duration of any declines indemand for25

Table of Contents

travel to specific regions as a result of health emergencies (such as during the COVID-19 pandemic), geopolitical instability or other factors,
and the speed with which demand for travel to these regions returns.
Our international service exposes us to foreign economies and the potential for reduced demand when any foreign country we serve
suffers adverse local economic conditions or if governments restrict commercial air service to or from any of these markets. For example, the
COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a precipitous and prolonged decline in demand for air travel, in particular international travel, in part as aresult of the imposition by the U.S. and foreign governments of restrictions on travel from certain regions. In addition, open skies agreements,
which are now in place with a substantial number of countries around the world, provide international airlines with open access to U.S.
markets, potentially subjecting us to increased competition on our international routes. See also “Our business is subject to extensive
government regulation, which may result in increases in our costs, disruptions to our operations, limits on our operating flexibility, reductionsin the demand for air travel, and competitive disadvantages.”
To the extent alliances formed by our competitors can undertake activities that are not available to us, including as to regulatory approvals,
access slots, gates and routes and other matters, our ability to effectively compete may be hindered. Our ability to attract and retain
customers is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to offer our customers convenient access to desired markets. Our businesscould be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain or obtain alliance and marketing relationships with other air carriers in desired
markets.
American has established a transatlantic joint business with British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Finnair, a transpacific joint businesswith Japan Airlines and a joint business relating to Australia and New Zealand with Qantas. We have also established a strategic alliancewith Alaska Airlines relating to certain routes on the West Coast of the United States and a strategic alliance relating to the Middle East with
Qatar Airways. In July 2010, in connection with a regulatory review related to our transatlantic joint business, we provided certain
commitments to the EC regarding, among other things, the availability of take-off and landing slots at LHR or LGW airports. The
commitments accepted by the EC were binding for 10 years. In anticipation of both the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU, commonlyreferred to as Brexit, and the expiry of the EC commitments in July 2020, the CMA, in October 2018, opened an investigation into thetransatlantic joint business. In September 2020 and April 2022, the CMA adopted interim measures that effectively extend the EC
commitments until March 2026 in light of the uncertainty and other impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CMA restarted its
investigation in September 2023 after a pause related to the COVID-19 pandemic and plans to complete the investigation before thescheduled expiration of the interim measures in March 2026. We continue to cooperate fully with the CMA. The foregoing arrangements areimportant aspects of our international network and we are dependent on the performance and continued cooperation of the other airlines
party to those arrangements.
On May 19, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued an order permanently enjoining American and JetBlue
from continuing and further implementing the NEA. In June 2023, JetBlue delivered a notice of termination of the NEA, effective July 29,
2023, and the carriers have commenced wind-down activities to accommodate mutual customers. American has appealed the District Court’s
decision to the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit; American’s opening brief was filed on December 6, 2023. Separately, in December 2022,
two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that American and JetBlue
violated U.S. antitrust law in connection with the previously disclosed NEA. In February 2023, private party plaintiffs filed two additional
putative class action antitrust complaints against American and JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, respectively. All cases have since been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York. American, together with JetBlue, filed a motion to dismiss on September 21, 2023, which remains pending. The
motions to dismiss argue, among other things, that the plaintiffs each waived their right to bring class action claims. We believe thesecomplaints are without merit and are defending against them vigorously.
No assurances can be given as to any benefits that we may derive from any of the foregoing arrangements or any other arrangementsthat may ultimately be implemented, or whether regulators will, or if granted continue to, approve or impose material conditions on ourbusiness activities.
Other mergers and other forms of airline partnerships, including regulatory approvals such as antitrust immunity grants, may take placeand may not involve us as a participant, or could result in unforeseen impacts on the industry generally and our company in particular.
Depending on which carriers combine or integrate and which assets, if any, are sold or otherwise transferred to other carriers in connection
with any such transactions, our competitive position relative to the post-transaction carriers or other carriers that acquire such assets could
be harmed. In addition, as carriers combine through traditional mergers or integrate their operations through other arrangements, their route
networks will grow, and that growth will result in greater overlap with our network, which in turn could decrease our overall market share and26

Table of Contents

revenues. Such combination or collaboration is not limited to the U.S., but could include further transactions among international carriers in
Europe and elsewhere that result in broader networks offered by rival airlines.
Additionally, our AAdvantage program, which is an important element of our sales and marketing programs, faces significant andincreasing competition from the loyalty programs offered by other travel companies, as well as from similar loyalty benefits offered by banks
and other financial services companies. Competition among loyalty programs is intense regarding the rewards, fees, required usage, andother terms and conditions of these programs. In addition, we have used certain assets from our AAdvantage program as collateral for theAAdvantage Financing, which contains covenants that impose restrictions on certain amendments or changes to certain of our AAdvantage
program agreements provided as collateral under the AAdvantage Financing and other aspects of the AAdvantage program. These
competitive factors and covenants (to the extent applicable) may affect our ability to attract and retain customers, increase usage of ourloyalty program and maximize the revenue generated by our loyalty program.
We may also be impacted by competition regulations affecting certain of our major commercial partners, including our co-branded credit
card partners. For example, there has been bipartisan legislation proposed in Congress called the Credit Card Competition Act designed toincrease credit card transaction routing options for merchants which, if enacted, could result in a reduction of the fees levied on credit cardtransactions. If this legislation or any similar legislation or regulation were enacted, it could fundamentally alter the profitability of ouragreements with co-branded credit card partners and the benefits we provide to our consumers through the co-branded credit cards issued
by these partners.
Union disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations and financial
performance.
Relations between air carriers and labor unions in the U.S. are governed by the RLA. Under the RLA, CBAs generally contain “amendable
dates” rather than expiration dates, and the RLA requires that a carrier maintain the existing terms and conditions of employment following
the amendable date through a multi-stage and usually lengthy series of bargaining processes overseen by the NMB. As of December 31,
2023, approximately 87% of our employees were represented for collective bargaining purposes by labor unions, and 34% were covered by
CBAs that are currently amendable or that will become amendable within one year. For the dates that the CBAs with our major work groups
become amendable under the RLA, see “Labor Relations” under Part I, Item 1. Business – “Sustainability – Our People.”In the case of a CBA that is amendable under the RLA, if no agreement is reached during direct negotiations between the parties, either
party may request that the NMB appoint a federal mediator. The RLA prescribes no timetable for the direct negotiation and mediation
processes, and it is not unusual for those processes to last for many months or even several years. If no agreement is reached in mediation,
the NMB in its discretion may declare that an impasse exists and proffer binding arbitration to the parties. Either party may decline to submit
to arbitration, and if arbitration is rejected by either party, a 30-day “cooling off” period commences. During or after that period, a Presidential
Emergency Board (PEB) may be established, which examines the parties’ positions and recommends a solution. The PEB process lasts for
30 days and is followed by another 30-day “cooling off” period. At the end of this “cooling off” period, unless an agreement is reached or
action is taken by Congress, the labor organization may exercise “self-help,” such as a strike, which could materially adversely affect ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition.
None of the unions representing our employees presently may lawfully engage in concerted slowdowns or refusals to work, such as
strikes, sick-outs or other similar activity, against us. Nonetheless, there is a risk that employees, either with or without union involvement,
could engage in one or more concerted refusals to work that could individually or collectively harm the operation of our airline and impair our
financial performance. Additionally, some of our unions have brought and may continue to bring grievances to binding arbitration, including
those related to wages. If successful, there is a risk these arbitral avenues could result in material additional costs that we did not anticipate.
Currently, we believe our labor costs are generally competitive relative to the other large network carriers. However, personnel shortages,
in particular for pilots, and general wage inflation stand to impact our labor costs moving forward. In July 2023, we reached a tentative
agreement with the union representing our mainline pilots, which was subsequently ratified by the pilots in August 2023. The new agreement,
which became effective in the third quarter of 2023, includes significant increases in pilot pay and benefits, in line with agreements recently
concluded by our large network competitors with their pilots’ unions. We remain in negotiations for other new labor agreements and anticipate
that any new contracts we agree to with our labor groups will include material increases in salaries and other benefits, which will significantly
increase our labor expense.

If we encounter problems with any of our third-party regional operators or third-party service providers, our operations could be
adversely affected by a resulting decline in revenue or negative public perception about our services.
A significant portion of our regional operations are conducted by third-party operators on our behalf and are provided for under capacity
purchase agreements. Due to our reliance on third parties to provide these essential services, we are subject to the risk of disruptions to theiroperations, which has in the past and may in the future result from many of the same risk factors disclosed in this report, such as the impactof adverse economic conditions, the inability of third parties to hire or retain skilled personnel, including in particular pilots and mechanics,
and other risk factors, such as an out-of-court or bankruptcy restructuring of any of our regional operators. Several of these third-party
regional operators provide significant regional capacity that we would be unable to replace in a short period of time should that operator fail toperform its obligations to us. Disruptions to capital markets, shortages of pilots, mechanics and other skilled personnel and adverse economic
conditions in general have subjected certain of these third-party regional operators to significant financial pressures, which have in the pastand may in the future lead to bankruptcies among these operators. In particular, the severe decline in demand for air travel resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental restrictions on travel materially impacted demand for services provided by our regional
carriers and, as a result, we temporarily significantly reduced our regional capacity. Further, as airlines attempt to restore capacity in line withincreased demand for air travel following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, these third-party operators have experienced difficulties inrecruiting and retaining sufficient personnel to operate significantly increased schedules, and have in some instances been required to offer
significant increases in pay and other benefits to recruit and retain pilots and other personnel. Periods of volatility in travel demand have thepotential to adversely affect our regional operators, some of whom may experience significant financial stress, declare bankruptcy orotherwise cease to operate. We may also experience disruption to our regional operations or incur financial damages if we terminate thecapacity purchase agreement with one or more of our current operators or transition the services to another provider. Any significant
disruption to our regional operations would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, our reliance upon others to provide essential services on our behalf in our operations may result in our relative inability tocontrol the efficiency and timeliness of contract services. We have entered into agreements with contractors to provide various facilities andservices required for our operations, including distribution and sale of airline seat inventory, reservations, provision of information technology
and services, regional operations, aircraft maintenance, fueling, catering, ground services and facilities and baggage handling. Similar
agreements may be entered into in any new markets we decide to serve. These agreements are generally subject to termination after noticeby the third-party service provider. We are also at risk should one of these service providers cease operations, and there is no guarantee that
we could replace these providers on a timely basis with comparably priced providers, or at all. These third parties are also facing challenges
retaining and recruiting people with the appropriate skills to meet our requirements as the economy in general, and the airline industry inparticular, continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic also caused significant disruption in global supply
chains and staffing shortages, which have affected and may continue to affect the availability and timely delivery and fulfillment of many
goods, including certain of those that we purchase directly or which are required by third parties to perform contracted services for us. We
rely on the operation of complex supply chains and a large number of third parties for the procurement and fulfillment of parts, components,
consumable or disposable goods and other products and services essential to our business. Following a faster than expected return ofdemand for air travel as COVID-19 cases declined worldwide and governments lifted travel restrictions, suppliers and many of the airports weserve experienced acute shortages of personnel, resulting in increased delays, cancellations and, in certain cases, restrictions on passenger
numbers or the number of flights to or from certain airports. We cannot guarantee that, as a result of ongoing or future supply chain
disruptions or staffing shortages, we, our third-party partners, or the airports we serve will be able to timely source all of the products andservices we require in the course of our business, or that we will be successful in procuring suitable alternatives. Any material problems withthe adequacy, efficiency and timeliness of contract services, resulting from financial hardships, personnel shortages or otherwise, could havea material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results.
Maintaining a good reputation globally is critical to our business. Our reputation or brand image could be adversely impacted by, among
other things, any failure to maintain high ethical, social and environmental sustainability practices for all of our operations and activities, ourimpact on the environment, public pressure from investors or policy groups to change our policies, such as movements to institute a “living
wage,” customer perceptions of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements or marketing programs, customer perceptions of ouruse of social media, including greenwashing concerns regarding our advertising campaigns and marketing programs related to oursustainability
28

Table of Contents

initiatives, or customer perceptions of statements made by us, our employees and executives, agents or other third parties. In addition, we
operate in a highly visible industry that has significant exposure to social media. Negative publicity, including as a result of misconduct by ourcustomers, vendors or employees, can spread rapidly through social media. Should we not respond in a timely and appropriate manner toaddress negative publicity, our brand and reputation may be significantly harmed. Damage to our reputation or brand image or loss ofcustomer confidence in our services could adversely affect our business and financial results, as well as require additional resources torebuild our reputation.
Moreover, an outbreak and spread of an infectious disease could adversely impact consumer perceptions of the health and safety oftravel, and in particular airline travel, such as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual or perceived risk of infection on our flights
could have a material adverse effect on the public's perception of us and may harm our reputation and business. We have in the past, andmay in the future be required to take extensive measures to reassure our team members and the traveling public of the safety of air travel,
and we could incur significant costs implementing safety, hygiene-related or other actions to limit the actual or perceived threat of infection
among our employees and passengers. However, we cannot assure that any actions we might take in response to an infectious disease
outbreak will be sufficient to restore the confidence of consumers in the safety of air travel. In addition, as a result of mask mandates andother mitigating measures that airports and carriers were required by law to implement to limit the spread of COVID-19, we experienced anincrease in the incidence of aggressive customer behavior and physical confrontation on our flights, certain of which resulted in injuries to ourpersonnel. While the rate of these incidents has declined following the lifting of mask mandates and other COVID-19 measures, if ouremployees feel unsafe or believe that we are not doing enough to prevent and prosecute such incidents, we could experience higher rates of
employee absence or attrition and we may suffer reputational harm which could make it more difficult to attract and retain employees, andwhich could in turn negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are at risk of losses and adverse publicity stemming from any public incident involving our company, our people or ourbrand, including any accident or other public incident involving our personnel or aircraft, or the personnel or aircraft of ourregional, codeshare or joint business operators.
We are at risk of adverse publicity stemming from any public incident involving our company, our people or our brand, particularly given
the ease with which individuals can now capture and rapidly disseminate information via social media. Such an incident could involve theactual or alleged behavior of any of our employees, contractors or passengers. Further, if our personnel, one of our aircraft, a type of aircraftin our fleet, or personnel of, or an aircraft that is operated under our brand by, one of our regional operators or an airline with which we havea marketing alliance, joint business or codeshare relationship, were to be involved in a public incident, accident, catastrophe or regulatory
enforcement action, we could be exposed to significant reputational harm and potential legal liability. The insurance we carry may beinapplicable or inadequate to cover any such incident, accident, catastrophe or action. In the event that our insurance is inapplicable orinadequate, we may be forced to bear substantial losses from an incident or accident. In addition, any such incident, accident, catastrophe oraction involving our personnel, one of our aircraft (or personnel and aircraft of our regional operators and our codeshare partners), or a typeof aircraft in our fleet could create an adverse public perception, which could harm our reputation, result in air travelers being reluctant to fly
on our aircraft or those of our regional operators or codeshare partners, and adversely impact our business, results of operations andfinancial condition.
Changes to our business model that are designed to increase revenues may not be successful and may cause operationaldifficulties or decreased demand.
We have in the past instituted, and intend to institute in the future, changes to our business model designed to increase revenues andoffset costs. These measures include further segmentation of the classes of service we offer, such as Premium Economy service and Basic
Economy service, enhancements to our AAdvantage program, charging separately for services that had previously been included within theprice of a ticket, changes to our practices and contracts with providers of distribution systems to provide additional content flexibility,commercial practices related to ticket distribution channels, including efforts by us to migrate an increasing portion of our customers to ourmodern, direct distribution channels in lieu of third party channels, changing (whether it be increasing, decreasing or eliminating) other preexisting fees, reconfiguration of our aircraft cabins, and efforts to optimize our network including by focusing growth on a limited number oflarge hubs and entering into agreements with other airlines. For example, in 2020, we eliminated change fees for most domestic andinternational tickets, which has reduced our change fee revenue, a trend which is expected to continue assuming this policy remains in place.
We may introduce additional initiatives in the future; however, as time goes on, we expect that it will be more difficult to identify andimplement additional initiatives. We cannot assure that these measures or any future initiatives will be successful in increasing our revenues
or offsetting our costs. Additionally, the implementation of these initiatives may create logistical challenges that could harm the operational
performance of our airline or result in decreased demand. Also, our implementation of any new or increased fees might result in adverse
29

Table of Contents

brand perceptions, reputational harm or regulatory scrutiny, and could reduce the demand for air travel on our airline or across the industry ingeneral, particularly if weakened economic conditions make our customers more sensitive to increased travel costs or provide a significant
competitive advantage to other carriers that determine not to institute similar charges.
Our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights, are valuable, and any inability to protect them may adversely
affect our business and financial results.
We consider our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights such as our trademarks applicable to our airline andAAdvantage program, to be a significant and valuable aspect of our business. We protect our intellectual property rights through a
combination of trademark, copyright and other forms of legal protection, contractual agreements and policing of third-party misuses of ourintellectual property. Our failure to obtain or adequately protect our intellectual property or any change in law that lessens or removes thecurrent legal protections of our intellectual property may diminish our competitiveness and adversely affect our business and financial results.
Any litigation or disputes regarding intellectual property may be costly and time-consuming and may divert the attention of our management
and key personnel from our business operations, either of which may adversely affect our business and financial results.
In addition, we have used certain of our branding and AAdvantage program intellectual property as collateral for various financings(including the AAdvantage Financing, defined in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements to this Annual Report on
Form 10-K), which contain covenants that impose restrictions on the use of such intellectual property and, in the case of the AAdvantage
Financing, on certain amendments or changes to our AAdvantage program. These covenants may have an adverse effect on our ability touse such intellectual property.
We may be a party to litigation in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could affect our financial position andliquidity.
From time to time, we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government inspections or investigations andother legal matters, both inside and outside the United States, arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. We are currently
involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have not yet been fully resolved, and additional claims may arise in the future. Legalproceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number ofvariables, some of which are not within our control. Litigation is subject to significant uncertainty and may be expensive, time-consuming, anddisruptive to our operations. Although we will vigorously defend ourselves in such legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential
financial and other impacts on us are uncertain. For these and other reasons, we may choose to settle legal proceedings and claims,
regardless of their actual merit. If a legal proceeding is resolved against us, it could result in significant compensatory damages, and incertain circumstances punitive or trebled damages, disgorgement of revenue or profits, remedial corporate measures or injunctive relief
imposed on us. If our existing insurance does not cover the amount or types of damages awarded, or if other resolution or actions taken as aresult of the legal proceeding were to restrain our ability to operate or market our services, our consolidated financial position, results ofoperations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In addition, legal proceedings, and any adverse resolution thereof, can resultin adverse publicity and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact our business. Additional information regarding certain legal
matters in which we are involved can be found in Note 11(e) to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 10(e) to
American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8B.
Our ability to utilize our NOLs and other carryforwards may be limited.
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), a corporation is generally allowed a deduction for net operating losses(NOLs) carried over from prior taxable years. At December 31, 2023, we had approximately $13.7 billion of gross federal NOLs and $4.7
billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $3.4 billion will expire beginning in 2029 if unused
and $15.0 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $5.5 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future statetaxable income at December 31, 2023, which will expire in taxable years 2023 through 2043 if unused. Our NOL carryforwards are subject toadjustment on audit by the Internal Revenue Service and the respective state taxing authorities. Additionally, due to the impact of the COVID19 pandemic and other economic factors, certain of the NOL carryforwards may expire before we can generate sufficient taxable income touse them.
30

Table of Contents

Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. There can be
no assurance that an additional valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required should our financial performance be
negatively impacted in the future. Such valuation allowance could be material.
A corporation’s ability to deduct its federal NOL carryforwards and to utilize certain other available tax attributes can be substantiallyconstrained under the general annual limitation rules of Section 382 of the Code (Section 382) if it undergoes an “ownership change” asdefined in Section 382 (generally where cumulative stock ownership changes among material stockholders exceed 50% during a rolling
three-year period). In 2013, we experienced an ownership change in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy and US Airways
Group, Inc. (US Airways Group) experienced an ownership change in connection with the merger of US Airways Group and AMR
Corporation (the Merger). The general limitation rules for a debtor in a bankruptcy case are liberalized where the ownership change occurs
upon emergence from bankruptcy. We elected to be covered by certain special rules for federal income tax purposes that permitted
approximately $9.0 billion (with $3.0 billion of unlimited NOLs still remaining at December 31, 2023) of our federal NOL carryforwards to be
utilized without regard to the annual limitation generally imposed by Section 382. If the special rules are determined not to apply, our ability toutilize such federal NOL carryforwards may be subject to limitation. Potential future transactions involving warrants, stock options, common or
preferred stock or other equity, may increase the possibility that the Company will experience a future "ownership change" under Section
382. Substantially all of our remaining federal NOL carryforwards attributable to US Airways Group and its subsidiaries are subject tolimitation under Section 382 as a result of the Merger; however, our ability to utilize such NOL carryforwards is not anticipated to beeffectively constrained as a result of such limitation. Similar limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an ownership change may severely limit or effectively eliminate our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards
and other tax attributes. In connection with the expiration in December 2021 of certain transfer restrictions applicable to substantial
shareholders contained in our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of AAG adopted a tax benefits preservation plan (the Tax
Benefit Preservation Plan) in order to preserve our ability to use our NOLs and certain other tax attributes to reduce potential future income
tax obligations. The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan was subsequently ratified by our stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholdersof AAG. The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that we experience an ownership change by deterring certain
acquisitions of AAG common stock. There is no assurance, however, that the deterrent mechanism will be effective, and such acquisitions
may still occur. In addition, the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan may adversely affect the marketability of AAG common stock by discouraging
existing or potential investors from acquiring AAG common stock or additional shares of AAG common stock, because any non-exempt third
party that acquires 4.9% or more of the then-outstanding shares of AAG common stock would suffer substantial dilution of its ownershipinterest in AAG.
New U.S. tax legislation may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to taxation at the federal, state and local levels in the United States. The U.S. government may enact significant changes
to the taxation of business entities. For example, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law, introducing, among
other changes, a corporate minimum tax on certain corporations and an excise tax on certain stock repurchases by certain corporations.
While certain other draft legislation has been proposed, the likelihood of any proposed changes to the tax law being enacted or implemented
is unclear, and we are currently unable to predict whether such changes will occur. If any such changes are implemented, we are currently
unable to predict the ultimate impact on our business and therefore there can be no assurance our business will not be adversely affected.
We have a significant amount of goodwill, which is assessed for impairment at least annually. In addition, we may never realize
the full value of our intangible assets or long-lived assets, causing us to record material impairment charges.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if
conditions indicate that an impairment may have occurred. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. In addition, we are required to assess certain of ourother long-lived assets for impairment if conditions indicate that an impairment may have occurred.
Future impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets could be recorded in results of operations as a result ofchanges in assumptions, estimates, or circumstances, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that a material
impairment charge of goodwill or tangible or intangible assets will be avoided. The value of our aircraft could be impacted in future periods bychanges in supply and demand for these aircraft. Such changes in supply
31

Table of Contents

and demand for certain aircraft types could result from grounding of aircraft by us or other airlines, including as a result of significant or
prolonged declines in demand for air travel and corresponding reductions to capacity. We can provide no assurance that a material
impairment loss of tangible or intangible assets will not occur in a future period; we have previously incurred significant impairment charges
associated with our decision to retire certain aircraft as a result of the severe decline in demand for air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
and the risk of future material impairments remains uncertain. Such impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition.
The commercial relationships that we have with other companies, including any related equity investments, may not produce
the returns or results we expect.
An important part of our strategy to expand our network has been to initiate or expand our commercial relationships with other airlines,
such as by entering into global alliance, joint business and codeshare relationships, and, in certain instances, including China Southern
Airlines, GOL and JetSMART, by making an equity investment in another airline in connection with initiating or expanding such a commercial
relationship. We may explore additional investments in, and joint ventures and strategic alliances with, other carriers as part of our global
business strategy. We face competition in forming and maintaining these commercial relationships since there are a limited number ofpotential arrangements and other airlines are looking to enter into similar relationships, and our inability to form or maintain these
relationships, or inability to form as many of these relationships as our competitors, may have an adverse effect on our business. Any such
existing or future investment could involve significant challenges and risks, including that we may not realize a satisfactory return on ourinvestment, if any, or that they may not generate the expected revenue synergies, and they may distract management focus from ouroperations or other strategic options. We may also be subject to consequences from any illegal conduct of joint business partners as well as
to any political or regulatory change that negatively impacts or prohibits our arrangements with any such business partners. In addition, as aresult of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recovery, the industry experienced significant volatility in demand for air travel
both internationally and domestically, which is expected to continue into the foreseeable future and could materially disrupt our partners'
abilities to provide air service, the timely execution of our strategic operating plans, including the finalization, approval and implementation of
new strategic relationships or the maintenance or expansion of existing relationships. If any carriers with which we partner or in which we
hold an equity stake were to cease trading or be declared insolvent, we could lose the value of any such investment or experience significant
operational disruption, which is a risk that we are subject to with respect to our investment in and commercial arrangements with GOL in lightof its commencement in January 2024 of bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may also from time to time pursue commercial relationships with companies outside the airline industry, which relationships may
include equity investments or other financial commitments. Any such relationship or related investment could involve unique risks, particularly
where these relationships involve new industry participants, emerging technologies or industries with which we are unfamiliar.
Our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs,
increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on
consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity.
Our operating results are materially impacted by changes in the availability, price volatility and cost of aircraft fuel, which represents one of
the largest single cost items in our business and thus is a significant factor in the price of airline tickets. Market prices for aircraft fuel havefluctuated substantially over the past several years and prices continue to be highly volatile, with market spot prices ranging from a low ofapproximately $1.32 per gallon to a high of approximately $4.40 per gallon during the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.
Aircraft fuel prices reflect not only the price of underlying crude oil, but also the price charged to refine crude oil into aircraft fuel (often
referred to as the “crack spread”), transportation costs, handling costs and taxes, and increases in any of these underlying components
would increase the price we ultimately pay for aircraft fuel.
Because of the amount of fuel needed to operate our business, even a relatively small increase or decrease in the price of fuel can have amaterial effect on our operating results and liquidity. Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry and unpredictability of the market for
air travel, we can offer no assurance that we may be able to increase our fares, impose fuel surcharges or otherwise increase revenues ordecrease other operating costs sufficiently to offset fuel price increases. Similarly, we cannot predict actions that may be taken by ourcompetitors in response to changes in fuel prices.
32

Table of Contents

We cannot predict the future availability, price volatility or cost of aircraft fuel. Natural disasters (including hurricanes or similar events in
the U.S. Southeast and on the Gulf Coast where a significant portion of domestic refining capacity is located), political disruptions or armed
conflicts involving oil-producing countries or impacting global trade routes, changes in production levels of individual nations or associationsof oil-producing states, economic sanctions imposed against oil-producing countries or specific industry participants, changes in fuel-related
governmental policy, the strength of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, changes in the cost to transport or store petroleum products
and any related staffing or transportation equipment shortages, changes in access to petroleum product pipelines and terminals, speculationin the energy futures markets, changes in aircraft fuel production capacity, environmental concerns and other unpredictable events, may
result in fuel supply shortages, variations in the applicable crack spread, distribution challenges, additional fuel price volatility and cost
increases in the future. Any of these factors or events could cause a disruption in or increased demands on oil production, refinery
operations, pipeline capacity or terminal access and possibly result in significant increases in the price of aircraft fuel and diminishedavailability of aircraft fuel supply.
Our aviation fuel purchase contracts generally do not provide meaningful price protection against increases in fuel costs. Our current
policy is not to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market
conditions and other factors. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuelconsumption. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully
exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices. See also the discussion in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
– “Aircraft Fuel.”
In addition, as part of our emissions reduction targets, we and other airlines have committed to increasing the use of SAF in our fleet.
Currently, industrial production of SAF is small in scale and inadequate to meet growing industry demand, and while additional production
capacity is expected to become operational in the coming years, we anticipate that competition for SAF among industry participants willremain intense. As a result, SAF may be significantly more costly than conventional jet fuel. To secure future SAF supply, we have enteredinto multiple agreements for the purchase of future SAF production, and we continue to engage with producers regarding potential future SAF
purchases, which may include investments and other commitments to support these producers. Certain existing or potential futureagreements pertain to SAF production from facilities that are planned but not yet financed, and which may utilize technology that has notbeen proven at commercial scale. There is no assurance that these facilities will be built or that they will meet contracted production timelines
and volumes. In the event that the SAF is not delivered on schedule or in sufficient volumes, there can be no assurance that we will be able
to source a supply of SAF sufficient to meet our stated goals, or that we will be able to do so on favorable economic terms.
Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, which may result in increases in our costs, disruptions to ouroperations, limits on our operating flexibility, reductions in the demand for air travel, and competitive disadvantages.
Airlines are subject to extensive domestic and international regulatory requirements. In the last several years, Congress and state andlocal governments have passed laws and regulatory initiatives, and the DOT, the FAA, the TSA and several of their respective internationalcounterparts have issued regulations and a number of other directives that affect the airline industry. These requirements impose substantial
costs on us and restrict the ways we may conduct our business.
For example, the FAA from time to time issues directives and other regulations relating to the maintenance and operation of aircraft that
require significant expenditures or operational restrictions. These requirements can be issued with little or no notice, or can otherwise impact
our ability to efficiently or fully utilize our aircraft, and in some instances have resulted in the temporary and prolonged grounding of aircraft orengine types altogether including, for example, the March 2019 grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX Family aircraft, which was not lifted in the
United States until November 2020, the January 2024 grounding of 737-9 MAX aircraft (a model that we do not operate), and the significant
limitations imposed on the use of Pratt & Whitney GTF aircraft engines on certain Airbus aircraft (an engine that we do not use in our fleet), or
otherwise caused substantial disruption and resulted in material costs to us and lost revenues. The recent telecom industry roll-out of 5G
technology, and concerns regarding its possible interference with aircraft navigation systems, also resulted in regulatory uncertainty and thepotential for operational impacts, including possible suspension of service to certain airports or the operation of certain aircraft, though theissue has since been resolved. See “We rely heavily on technology and automated systems to operate our business, and any failure of thesetechnologies or systems could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.” The FAA also exercises comprehensive
regulatory authority over nearly all technical aspects of our operations. Our failure to comply with such requirements has in the past and may
in the future result in fines and other enforcement actions by the FAA or other regulators. In the future, any new33

Table of Contents

regulatory requirements, particularly requirements that limit our ability to operate or price our products, could have a material adverse effecton us and the industry.
In 2018, Congress passed a five-year funding authorization for the FAA which was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2023, but wasrecently extended to March 8, 2024. The legislative process to renew this authorization (the FAA Authorization Renewal) could impact us,
and commercial aviation more generally, in numerous ways. As part of the FAA Authorization Renewal, Congress could seek to impose newrules or regulations concerning, among other things, customer service, aviation safety, labor requirements, investments in FAA staffing andresources, improvements to the ATC system and managing new entrants in the U.S. national airspace system, as well as new or increased
fees or taxes intended to fund these policies. Any new or enhanced requirements resulting from the FAA Authorization Renewal have thepotential to increase our costs or impact our operation. Congressional action on the FAA Authorization Renewal has already begun andCongress has indicated that their goal is to pass the bill in advance of the newly set March 8, 2024 expiration. If Congress fails to pass the
FAA Authorization Renewal, we expect passage of an additional extension of the current law to prevent a lapse in authorities.
DOT consumer rules, and rules promulgated by certain analogous agencies in other countries we serve, dictate procedures for many
aspects of our customer’s journey, including at the time of ticket purchase, at the airport and onboard the aircraft. DOT requires multiple
disclosures of airline fares, taxes and baggage fees and is further changing these requirements to increase the number of disclosures andthe time at which they must be disclosed. DOT also recently issued a proposed rule mandating refunds in certain circumstances, such as a
global pandemic. DOT has also proposed rules requiring disclosure of certain ancillary fees by air carriers and travel agents. Finally, the DOT
finalized rules in 2023 for accessible lavatories on single-aisle aircraft and has continued to work through proposals for a number of disability
regulations that will impact us, including penalties for wheelchair loss or damage and prompt wheelchair assistance.
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act mandates the federalization of certain airport security procedures and imposes additional
security requirements on airports and airlines, most of which are funded by a per-ticket tax on passengers and a tax on airlines. Present andpotential future security requirements can have the effect of imposing costs and inconvenience on travelers, potentially reducing the demand
for air travel.
Similarly, there are a number of legislative and regulatory initiatives and reforms at the state and local levels in the U.S. These initiatives
include increasingly stringent laws to protect the environment, wage/hour requirements, mandatory paid sick or family leave and healthcare
mandates. These laws could affect our relationship with our workforce and the vendors that serve our airline and cause our expenses toincrease without an ability to pass through these costs. In recent years, the airline industry has experienced an increase in litigation over theapplication of state and local employment laws, particularly in California. Application of these laws may result in operational disruption,
increased litigation risk and impact our negotiated labor agreements. For example, we are currently involved in legal proceedings in California
concerning alleged violations of the state’s labor code including, among other things, violations of certain meal and rest break laws, and an
adverse determination in any of these cases could adversely impact our operational flexibility and result in the imposition of damages andfines, which could potentially be significant. We have reached an agreement to settle a class litigation brought by flight attendants in
California and anticipate final approval by the court in the first quarter of 2024. In addition, legislation passed by the California legislature in
March 2023 should effectively foreclose future meal and rest break claims from flight attendants in California. However, there is still risk of
future litigation from flight attendants and other work groups involving other types of wage and hour laws in California and other jurisdictions
which could seek to implement similar laws.
The results of our operations, demand for air travel and the manner in which we conduct business each may be affected by changes inlaw and future actions taken by governmental agencies, including:•changes in law that affect the services that can be offered by airlines in particular markets and at particular airports, or thetypes of fares offered or fees that can be charged to passengers;•

the granting and timing of certain governmental approvals (including antitrust or foreign government approvals) needed forcodesharing alliances, joint businesses and other arrangements with other airlines, and the imposition of regulatory
investigations or commencement of litigation related to any of the foregoing;•

restrictions on competitive practices (for example, court orders, or agency regulations or orders, that would curtail an airline’s
ability to respond to a competitor);•

the adoption of new passenger security standards or regulations that impact customer service standards;
34

Table of Contents•

restrictions on airport operations, such as restrictions on the use of slots at airports or the auction or reallocation of slot rights
currently held by us;•

the adoption of more restrictive locally-imposed noise restrictions; and•restrictions on travel or special guidelines regarding aircraft occupancy or hygiene in response to outbreaks of illness, suchas occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the imposition of preflight testing regimes or vaccination confirmation
requirements which have in the past and may in the future have the effect of reducing demand for air travel in the markets
where such requirements are imposed.

Each additional regulation or other form of regulatory oversight increases costs and adds greater complexity to airline operations and, insome cases, may reduce the demand for air travel. There can be no assurance that the increased costs or greater complexity associatedwith our compliance with new rules, anticipated rules or other forms of regulatory oversight will not have a material adverse effect on us.
Any significant reduction in air traffic capacity at and in the airspace serving key airports in the U.S. or overseas could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the ATC system is not successfully modernizing tomeet the growing demand for U.S. air travel. Air traffic controllers rely on outdated procedures and technologies that routinely compel
airlines, including ourselves, to fly inefficient routes or take significant delays on the ground. The ATC system’s inability to manage existing
travel demand, including due to significant staffing shortages, has led government agencies to implement short-term capacity constraints
during peak travel periods or adverse weather conditions in certain markets, resulting in delays and disruptions of air traffic. The outdated
technologies also cause the ATC system to be less resilient in the event of a failure, and past system disruptions have resulted in large-scale
flight cancellations and delays. We experienced this challenge in January 2023 when an outage in the ATC Notice to Air Missions system led
to a nationwide ground-stop for nearly two hours, resulting in significant operational disruption throughout the day.
In the early 2000s, the FAA embarked on a path to modernize the national airspace system, including migration from the current radarbased ATC system to a GPS-based system. This modernization of the ATC system, generally referred to as “NextGen,” has been plagued bydelays and cost overruns, and it remains uncertain when the full array of benefits expected from this modernization will be available to the
public and the airlines, including ourselves. Failure to update the ATC system and the substantial costs that may be imposed on airlines,
including ourselves, to fund a modernized ATC system may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Further, our business has been adversely impacted when government agencies have ceased to operate as expected, including due topartial shutdowns, sequestrations or similar events and the COVID-19 pandemic. These events have resulted in, among other things,
reduced demand for air travel, an actual or perceived reduction in air traffic control and security screening resources and related travel
delays, as well as disruption in the ability of the FAA to grant required regulatory approvals, such as those that are involved when a new
aircraft is first placed into service.
Our operating authority in international markets is subject to aviation agreements between the U.S. and the respective countries orgovernmental authorities, such as the EU, and in some cases, fares and schedules require the approval of the DOT and/or the relevant
foreign governments. Moreover, alliances with international carriers may be subject to the jurisdiction and regulations of various foreign
agencies. The U.S. government has negotiated “open skies” agreements with more than 130 trading partners, which agreements allow
unrestricted route authority access between the U.S. and the foreign markets. While the U.S. has worked to increase the number of countries
with which open skies agreements are in effect, a number of markets important to us, including China, do not have open skies agreements.
For example, the open skies air services agreement between the U.S. and the EU, which took effect in March 2008, provides airlines fromthe U.S. and EU member states open access to each other’s markets, with freedom of pricing and unlimited rights to fly from the U.S. to any
airport in the EU. As a result of the agreement and a subsequent open skies agreement involving the U.S. and the United Kingdom, which
was agreed in anticipation of Brexit, we face increased competition in these markets, including LHR. Bilateral and multilateral agreements
among the U.S. and various foreign governments of countries we serve but which are not covered by an open skies treaty are subject toperiodic renegotiation. We currently operate a number of international routes under government arrangements that limit the number ofairlines permitted to operate on the route, the capacity of the airlines providing services on the route, or the number of airlines allowed accessto particular airports. If an open skies policy were to be adopted for any of these markets, it could adversely impact us and could result in
impairments of our related tangible and intangible assets. In addition, competition from foreign airlines, revenue-sharing
35

Table of Contents

joint ventures, joint business agreements, and other alliance arrangements by and among other airlines could impair the value of ourbusiness and assets on the open skies routes.
On May 1, 2021 the EU and United Kingdom entered into a new trade and cooperation agreement (the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation
Agreement) to govern certain aspects of their relationship following Brexit. We face risks associated with Brexit, notably given the extent ofour passenger and cargo traffic and that of our joint business partners that flows through LHR in the United Kingdom. The EU-UK Trade andCooperation Agreement includes provisions in relation to commercial air service that we expect to be sufficient to sustain our current services
under the transatlantic joint business. However, the scope of traffic rights under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement is lessextensive than before Brexit and therefore the full impact of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement is uncertain. For example, on
December 4, 2023, the United Kingdom government launched a consultation on the reform of the rules applicable to airport slots in the
United Kingdom. At this stage, the impact of this consultation and any consequent changes to the United Kingdom slot rules on ouroperations or those of our joint business partners at LHR is uncertain, but could be material. As a result, the continuation of our current
services, and those of our partners could be disrupted. This could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition. More generally, changes in U.S. or foreign government aviation policies could result in the alteration or termination of suchagreements, diminish the value of route authorities, slots or other assets located abroad, or otherwise adversely affect our international
operations.
We operate a global business with international operations that are subject to economic and political instability and have been,
and in the future may continue to be, adversely affected by numerous events, circumstances or government actions beyond ourcontrol.
We operate a global business with significant operations outside of the U.S. Our current international activities and prospects have been,
and in the future could be, adversely affected by government policies, reversals or delays in the opening of foreign markets, increased
competition in international markets, the performance of our alliance, joint business and codeshare partners in a given market, exchange
controls or other restrictions on repatriation of funds, currency and political risks (including changes in exchange rates and currency
devaluations), environmental regulation, increases in taxes and fees and changes in international governmental regulation of our operations,
including the inability to obtain or retain needed route authorities and/or slots, and new or evolved policies related to consumer protections. In
particular, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the demand for international travel for a prolonged period, and resulted in theimposition of significant governmental restrictions on commercial air service to or from certain regions. We responded by temporarilysuspending a significant portion of our long-haul international flights and delaying the introduction of certain new long-haul internationalroutes. While many countries have largely eliminated their pandemic restrictions, we can provide no assurance as to when demand forinternational travel will return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in certain markets, if at all, or whether certain international destinations wepreviously served will be economical in the future.
We are subject to varying registration requirements and ongoing reporting obligations in the countries where we operate. Our permission
to continue doing business in these countries may depend on our ability to timely fulfil or remedy any noncompliance with these and othergovernmental requirements. We may also be subject to the risk that relevant government agencies will be delayed in granting or renewing
required approvals, including as a result of shutdowns (such as occurred in certain jurisdictions during the COVID-19 pandemic),
cybersecurity incidents or other events. Any lapse, revocation, suspension or delay in approval of our authority to do business in a given
jurisdiction may prevent us from serving certain destinations and could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results ofoperations.
More generally, our industry may be affected by any deterioration in global trade relations, including shifts in the trade policies of individual
nations. For example, much of the demand for international air travel is the result of business travel in support of global trade. Should
protectionist governmental policies, such as increased tariff or other trade barriers, travel limitations and other regulatory actions, have theeffect of reducing global commercial activity, the result could be a material decrease in the demand for international air travel. Additionally,certain of the products and services that we purchase, including certain of our aircraft and related parts, are sourced from suppliers locatedoutside the U.S., and the imposition of new tariffs, or any increase in existing tariffs, by the U.S. government in respect of the importation ofsuch products could materially increase the amounts we pay for them.
We face risks associated with Brexit, notably given the extent of our passenger and cargo traffic and that of our joint business partners
that flows through LHR in the United Kingdom. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement includes provisions in relation to commercial
air service that we expect to be sufficient to sustain our current services under the transatlantic joint business. However, the scope of trafficrights under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement is less extensive than before Brexit and therefore the full impact of the EU-UK
Trade and Cooperation Agreement is uncertain. As a result, the continuation of our current services, and those of our partners could be
disrupted. Moreover,36

Table of Contents

Brexit has created uncertainty as to the future trade relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom, including air traffic services. LHR
is presently a very important element of our international network, however it may become less desirable as a destination or as a hub location
after Brexit when compared to other airports in Europe, where we do not have as strong a presence. This could materially adversely affectour business, results of operations and financial condition.
Brexit has also led to legal and regulatory uncertainty such as new regulatory action and/or potentially divergent treaties, laws andregulations as the United Kingdom determines which EU treaties, laws and regulations to replace or replicate, including those governingaviation, labor, environmental, data protection/privacy, competition and other matters applicable to the provision of air transportation services
by us or our alliance, joint business or codeshare partners. The impact on our business of any treaties, laws and regulations that replace theexisting EU counterparts, or other governmental or regulatory actions taken by the United Kingdom or the EU in connection with orsubsequent to Brexit, cannot be predicted, including whether or not regulators will continue to approve or impose material conditions on ourbusiness activities such as the transatlantic joint business. See also “The airline industry is intensely competitive and dynamic.” Any of theseeffects, and others we cannot anticipate, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currencies, including devaluations, exchange controls and other restrictions on the repatriation of funds,
have significantly affected and may continue to significantly affect our operating performance, liquidity and the value of any cash held outside
the U.S. in local currency. Such fluctuations in foreign currencies, including devaluations, cannot be predicted by us and can significantly
affect the value of our assets located outside the United States. These conditions, as well as any further delays, devaluations or imposition of
more stringent repatriation restrictions, may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may be adversely affected by conflicts overseas, terrorist attacks or other acts of violence, domestically or abroad; thetravel industry continues to face ongoing security concerns.
Acts of terrorism and other violence, domestically or abroad, or fear of such attacks, including elevated national threat warnings, wars orother military conflicts, may depress air travel, particularly on international routes, and cause declines in revenues and increases in costs.
The attacks of September 11, 2001 and continuing terrorist threats, attacks and attempted attacks materially impacted and continue to impact
air travel. Increased security procedures introduced at airports since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and any other such measures that
may be introduced in the future generate higher operating costs for airlines. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act mandated improved
flight deck security, deployment of federal air marshals on-board flights, improved airport perimeter access security, airline crew security
training, enhanced security screening of passengers, baggage, cargo, mail, employees and vendors, enhanced training and qualifications of
security screening personnel, additional provision of passenger data to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and enhanced
background checks. A concurrent increase in airport security charges and procedures, such as restrictions on carry-on baggage, has also
had and may continue to have a disproportionate impact on short-haul travel, which constitutes a significant portion of our flying and revenue.
Implementation of and compliance with increasingly complex security and customs requirements will continue to result in increased costs for
us and our passengers, and have caused and likely will continue to cause periodic service disruptions and delays. We have at times found it
necessary or desirable to make significant expenditures to comply with security-related requirements while seeking to reduce their impact on
our customers, such as expenditures for automated security screening lines at airports. As a result of competitive pressure, and the need to
improve security screening throughput to support the pace of our operations, it is unlikely that we will be able to capture all security-related
costs through increased fares. We cannot forecast what new security requirements may be imposed in the future, or their impact on ourbusiness. In addition, avoiding areas of armed conflict or locations inaccessible to us due to geopolitical factors can impact our operations
and financial results. For instance, airspace closures or restrictions may require us to alter flight paths, thereby increasing the distance,
duration and amount of fuel required to operate certain international flights, in particular relative to competitors not subject to these airspace
restrictions. Armed conflicts in or affecting international markets we serve could also adversely impact our business by, among other things,
depressing demand for travel to certain regions or requiring us to suspend air service to certain destinations. For example, in October 2023,
we suspended our service to Tel Aviv, Israel, and cannot predict when, or if, we will be in a position to restore such service. The outbreak or
spread of armed conflict could force us to make additional reductions or changes to our service and could result in volatility in oil markets anddisruptions to global trade, which could materially increase our costs or impact our supply chains.

We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of our GHG emissions, changing
consumer preferences and the potential for increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.
Efforts to combat climate change have increased the focus by regulators worldwide on the need to reduce GHG emissions, including
those from the airline industry. Concerns over GHG emissions are likely to result in continued attempts to adopt requirements or change
business environments related to aviation that, if successful, may result in increased costs to the airline industry and us. In addition, several
countries and U.S. states have adopted or are considering adopting programs, including potentially new taxes, to regulate GHG emissions. In
addition, certain airports have proposed, and could in the future adopt, GHG emission or climate-related goals or measures that could impact
our operations or require us to make changes or investments in our infrastructure. In particular, ICAO has adopted rules, including thosepertaining to CORSIA, which will require us to mitigate the growth of GHG emissions associated with a significant majority of our international
flights.
At this time, the costs of complying with our future obligations under CORSIA are uncertain, primarily due to significant uncertainty withrespect to the future growth of covered GHG emissions, the supply and price of eligible carbon credits and the future development of themarket for eligible renewable fuels. Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry and unpredictability of the market for air travel, we
can offer no assurance that we may be able to increase our fares, impose surcharges or otherwise increase revenues or decrease otheroperating costs sufficiently to offset the costs of meeting our obligations under CORSIA.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the applicability of CORSIA to our operations in the long-term, along with the recent implementation ofand potential for other new regulatory initiatives to reduce airline GHG emissions, we and other airlines are increasingly subject to an
unpredictable and inconsistent array of national or regional emissions restrictions, creating a patchwork of complex regulatory requirementsthat could lead to increased expenses related to the emissions of our flights. For more information on these regulatory developments, see“Aircraft Emissions and Climate Change Requirements” under Part I, Item 1. Business – “Domestic and Global Regulatory Landscape –Environmental Matters.”
In addition, as part of our emissions reduction targets, we and other airlines have committed to increasing the use of SAF in our fleet.
Currently, industrial production of SAF is small in scale and inadequate to meet growing industry demand, and while additional production
capacity is expected to become operational in the coming years, we anticipate that competition for SAF among industry participants willremain intense. As a result, SAF may be significantly more costly than conventional jet fuel. To secure future SAF supply, we have enteredinto multiple agreements for the purchase of future SAF production, and we continue to engage with producers regarding potential future SAF
purchases, which may include investments and other commitments to support these producers. Certain existing or potential futureagreements pertain to SAF production from facilities that are planned but not yet financed, and which may utilize technology that has notbeen proven at commercial scale. There is no assurance that these facilities will be built or that they will meet contracted production timelines
and volumes. In the event that the SAF is not delivered on schedule or in sufficient volumes, there can be no assurance that we will be able
to source a supply of SAF sufficient to meet our stated goals, or that we will be able to do so on favorable economic terms.
Additionally, growing recognition among consumers of the dangers of climate change may mean some customers choose to fly lessfrequently or fly on an airline they perceive as operating in a manner that is more sustainable to the climate. Business customers may choose
to use alternatives to travel, such as virtual meetings and workspaces. Greater development of high-speed rail in markets now served byshort-haul flights could provide passengers with lower-carbon alternatives to flying with us. Customers may also elect to travel on flights that
produce comparatively fewer GHG emissions, particularly after commencement of the EU environmental labelling scheme for flights in 2025.
Our collateral to secure loans, in the form of aircraft, spare parts and airport slots, could lose value as customer demand shifts andeconomies move to low-carbon alternatives, which may increase our financing cost.
We have published a number of sustainability-related targets and goals, including with respect to reducing our GHG emissions. These
goals are often long-term in nature, and in many cases rely on assumptions about the future availability and efficacy of technologies that do
not yet exist or are not yet commercially viable. Our ability to meet our publicly stated targets is dependent on a number of factors outside ourcontrol, including the ability of third parties, such as engine and airframe manufacturers, SAF producers and other industry participants, totimely develop and commercialize these technological solutions. Additionally, we face risks associated with allegations or similar claims thatour public statements concerning our sustainability efforts and achievements are exaggerated or unsubstantiated, sometimes referred to as“greenwashing,” and could be subject to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions challenging the basis for such statements which could becostly and disruptive, whether or not meritorious.

Finally, the potential acute and chronic physical effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods,
fires, sea-level rise, excessive heat, longer-term changes in weather patterns and other climate-related events, could affect our operations,infrastructure and financial results as well as the safety of our team members. Operational impacts, such as more frequent or widespreadflight cancellations, could result in loss of revenue. We could incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure andotherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. We are not able to predict accurately the materialityof any potential losses or costs associated with the physical effects of climate change.
We are subject to many forms of environmental and noise regulation and may incur substantial costs as a result.
We are subject to a number of increasingly stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to theprotection of human health and the environment and noise reduction, including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges to land andsurface and subsurface waters, safe drinking water, and the management of hazardous substances, oils and waste materials. This universeof substances is evolving to encompass many substances not previously regulated. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations canrequire significant expenditures, and violations can lead to significant fines and penalties, as well as civil liability.
We are also subject to other environmental laws and regulations, including those that require us to investigate and remediate soil orgroundwater to meet certain remediation standards. Under federal law, generators of waste materials, and current and former owners or
operators of facilities, can be subject to liability for investigation and remediation costs at locations that have been identified as requiring
response actions. Liability under these laws may be retroactive, strict, joint and several, meaning that we could be liable for the costs ofcleaning up environmental contamination regardless of when it occurred, fault or the amount of waste directly attributable to us. We haveliability for investigation and remediation costs at various sites, although such costs currently are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on our business.
Governmental authorities in the U.S. and abroad are increasingly focused on potential contamination resulting from the use of certain
chemicals, most notably per- and polyfluoroalkyl, substances (PFAS). Products containing PFAS have been used in manufacturing, industrial,and consumer applications over many decades, including those related to aviation. Among other things, recent changes to federal
requirements for firefighting foams containing PFAS, as well as related state regulations affecting their use, will require operational changes.
In August 2022, the EPA published for public comment a new rulemaking that would designate two PFAS substances (perfluorooctanoic acidand perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act. This rulemaking, which is expected to be finalized in early 2024, would require entities to immediately report current and past releases
that meet or exceed the reportable quantity for such substances to EPA’s National Response Center. Depending on the final outcome of thisrulemaking and the introduction of any additional state or federal regulations, we may incur costs in connection with reporting obligations andcosts related to historic usage of PFAS-containing materials, transitioning away from the usage of PFAS-containing products, disposing of
PFAS-containing waste or remediating any residual environmental impacts.
We have various leases and agreements with respect to real property, tanks and pipelines with airports and other operators. Under theseleases and agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the lessor or operator against environmental liabilities associated with the real property
or operations described under the agreement, even in certain cases where we are not the party responsible for the initial event that caused
the environmental damage. We also participate in leases with other airlines in fuel consortiums and fuel committees at airports, and suchindemnities are generally joint and several among the participating airlines.
Governmental authorities in several U.S. and foreign cities are also considering, or have already implemented, aircraft noise reduction
programs, including the imposition of nighttime curfews and limitations on daytime take offs and landings as well as setting an annual flight
cap from specific cities. We have been able to accommodate local noise restrictions imposed to date, but our operations could be adversely
affected if locally-imposed regulations become more restrictive or widespread. The FAA is also currently evaluating possible changes to how
aircraft noise is measured, and the resulting standards that are based on them. Ultimately, these changes could have an impact on, or limit,
our operations, or make it more difficult for the FAA to modernize and increase the efficiency of the airspace and airports we utilize.

A high level of pilot retirements, more stringent duty time regulations, increased flight hour requirements for commercial airline
pilots, reductions in the number of military pilots entering the commercial workforce, increased training requirements and otherfactors have caused a shortage of pilots that could materially adversely affect our business.
Large numbers of pilots in the industry accepted early retirement during the COVID-19 pandemic or are approaching the FAA’s mandatory
retirement age of 65. Our pilots and other employees are subject to rigorous certification standards, and our pilots and other crew members
must adhere to flight time and rest requirements. Commencing in 2013, the minimum flight hour requirement to achieve a commercial pilot’s
license in the United States increased from 250 to 1,500 hours, thereby significantly increasing the time and cost commitment required to
become licensed to fly commercial aircraft. Additionally, the number of military pilots being trained by the U.S. armed forces and available ascommercial pilots upon their retirement from military service has been decreasing. Further, in the course of the domestic airline industry
rapidly restoring capacity during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the significant training requirements to return large numbers ofpilots to active flying have been time consuming and disruptive.
These and other factors have contributed to a shortage of qualified, entry-level pilots, shortages of experienced pilots trained and ready for
duty, principally at our regional affiliates, and increased compensation costs materially for pilots throughout the industry. We believe that thisindustry-wide pilot shortage will remain a significant problem for regional airlines in the United States for the foreseeable future. We haverecently implemented a number of recruitment initiatives intended to recruit qualified pilots to our regional airlines, including offeringsignificant financial incentives, but we cannot guarantee that such efforts will be successful. Notwithstanding these efforts, our regional airline
subsidiaries and other regional partners have recently been unable to hire adequate numbers of pilots to meet their needs, resulting in a
reduction in the number of flights offered, operational disruptions, increased compensation expense and costs of operations, financial
difficulties and other adverse effects, and these circumstances may become more severe in the future and thereby cause a material adverse
effect on our business.
As part of the FAA Authorization Renewal process, Congress has proposed increasing the pilot retirement age from 65 to 67 to help
address the pilot shortage. Raising the mandatory retirement age could help to mitigate the pilot shortage at regional airlines and othercarriers operating domestically, but it could create potentially significant challenges to mainline carriers operating internationally, as theinternational standard for pilot retirement is currently 65.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts. Delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries,
unexpected grounding of aircraft or aircraft engines whether by regulators or by us, or other loss of anticipated fleet capacity,and failure of new aircraft to receive regulatory approval, be produced or otherwise perform as and when expected, may
adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and many aircraft and engine parts. For example, all of ourmainline aircraft were manufactured by either Airbus or Boeing and all of our regional aircraft were manufactured by either Bombardier or
Embraer. Further, our supplier base continues to consolidate as evidenced by recent transactions involving Airbus and Bombardier and
Mitsubishi and Bombardier, and the cessation of production of certain Bombardier regional aircraft that we and our regional partners currently
operate in large numbers. Due to the limited number of suppliers, constraints on production capacity, large order books and long production
lead times, manufacturers may face challenges in timely fulfilling our aircraft on order, and we may face competition from other carriers insecuring an adequate supply of aircraft in the future. If new aircraft orders are not filled on a timely basis, we could face higher financing andoperating costs than planned. The limited number of these suppliers may also result in reduced competition and potentially higher prices thanif the supplier base was less concentrated. In addition, we are vulnerable to any problems associated with the performance of these
suppliers’ obligation to supply key aircraft, parts and engines, including design defects, mechanical problems, contractual performance by
suppliers or adverse perception by the public that would result in customer avoidance of any of our aircraft. If the aircraft we receive do notmeet expected performance or quality standards, including with respect to fuel efficiency, safety and reliability, we could also face higher
financing and operating costs than planned and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted. We
are also subject to the risk that action by the FAA or any other regulatory authority could result in an inability to certify or operate our aircraft,even temporarily. For instance, in March 2019, the FAA ordered the grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX Family aircraft, which remained inplace for over a year and was not lifted in the United States until November 2020. An additional grounding of Boeing aircraft occurred in
January 2024 involving the Boeing 737-9 MAX, a model that we do not operate. Further, significant limitations imposed on the use of Pratt &Whitney GTF aircraft engines (an engine that we do not use in our fleet) on certain Airbus aircraft have resulted in very significant numbers of
the related aircraft being grounded while awaiting refurbished engines. Regulatory concerns raised by the FAA also previously forced40

Table of Contents

Boeing to suspend deliveries of certain 787 aircraft, temporarily resulting in significant reductions to our planned long-haul flying. Moregenerally, we have recently experienced delivery delays across manufacturers due to regulatory matters such as those described above,
regulatory restrictions on production rate increases (such as those that the FAA has announced it intends to impose on Boeing 737
production), supply chain limitations, development delays, and other factors, which have created significant challenges in planning our fleet,
and those challenges are likely to continue. There is also the prospect that new aircraft models will continue to face certification delays further
impeding the delivery of new aircraft to the airline industry and increasing competition for the production capacity that is available.
The success of our business depends on, among other things, effectively managing the number and types of aircraft we operate. If, for
any reason, we are unable to accept or secure deliveries of new aircraft on contractually scheduled delivery timelines, our business, resultsof operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted. Our failure to integrate newly purchased aircraft into our fleet as planned
might require us to seek extensions of the terms for some leased aircraft or otherwise delay the exit of certain aircraft from our fleet. Suchunanticipated extensions or delays, which as noted above have recently been relatively commonplace among manufacturers of commercial
aircraft, may require us to operate existing aircraft beyond the point at which it is economically optimal to retire them, resulting in increased
maintenance costs, or reductions to our schedule, thereby reducing revenues. Repeated or prolonged delays in the production, delivery or
induction of our new aircraft could also require us to scale back our growth plans, reduce frequencies or forgo service entirely to certain
markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely heavily on technology and automated systems to operate our business, and any failure of these technologies orsystems could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are highly dependent on existing and emerging technology and automated systems to operate our business. These technologies andsystems include but may not be limited to our computerized airline reservation system, flight operations and crew scheduling systems,
financial planning, management and accounting systems, telecommunications systems, website, maintenance systems and check-in kiosks.
In order for our operations to work efficiently, our website and reservation system must be able to accommodate a high volume of traffic,
maintain secure information and deliver flight information, as well as issue electronic tickets and process critical financial information in atimely manner. Substantially all of our tickets are issued to passengers as electronic tickets. We depend on our reservation system, which ishosted and maintained under a long-term contract by a third-party service provider, to be able to issue, track and accept these electronic
tickets. If our technologies or automated systems are not functioning or if our third-party service providers were to fail to adequately provide
technical support, system maintenance or timely software upgrades for any one of our key existing systems, we could experience service
disruptions or delays, which could harm our business and result in the loss of important data, increase our expenses and decrease ourrevenues. Furthermore, certain critical aspects of our operation rely on legacy technological systems which may grow more difficult or
expensive to support and maintain over time, and such systems may fail to perform as required or become more vulnerable to malfunction or
failure over time. In the event that one or more of our primary technology or systems vendors goes into bankruptcy, ceases operations or fails
to perform as promised, replacement services may not be readily available on a timely basis, at competitive rates or at all, and any transition
time to a new system may be significant.
Our aircraft employ a number of sophisticated radio and satellite-based navigation and safety technologies, and we are subject to risks
associated with the introduction or expansion of technologies that could interfere with the safe operation of these flight systems. For example,
telecommunications companies are expanding and increasing the commercial and consumer applications of 5G cellular communication
networks, and regulators, manufacturers and operators have expressed concerns that certain 5G applications could interfere with certain
flight systems. On December 23, 2021, the FAA issued a special airworthiness information bulletin (SAIB), in which it indicated that further
testing and assessment is needed regarding the effects of 5G on certain aircraft equipped with radar altimeters, which measure the aircraft’s
altitude and guide pilots during landings. If it were determined that 5G signals posed an interference risk to these altimeters or other systems,
the FAA indicated in its SAIB that it could restrict flight operations in areas where such interference could occur. On June 17, 2022, the FAA
and the telecommunications industry reached an agreement to delay the full implementation of 5G deployment near airports until July 1,
2023. The delayed implementation allowed the aviation industry time to retrofit the radio altimeters on aircraft to prevent potential interference
from 5G signals. American has completed the retrofit of its impacted mainline and regional aircraft, and we now expect operational certainty
as it pertains to 5G until 2028, when the current operating agreement between the FAA, Federal Communications Commission and thetelecommunications industry expires.
Our technologies and automated systems are not completely protected against events that are beyond our control, including natural
disasters, power failures, terrorist attacks, cyberattacks, data theft, defects, errors, equipment and41

Table of Contents

software failures, computer viruses or telecommunications failures. When service interruptions occur as a result of any of the aforementioned
events, we address them in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. However, substantial or sustained system failures could
cause service delays or failures and result in our customers purchasing tickets from other airlines. We cannot assure that our security
measures, change control procedures or disaster recovery plans are adequate to prevent disruptions or delays. Disruption in or changes tothese technologies or systems could result in a disruption to our business and the loss of important data. Any of the foregoing could result ina material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Evolving data privacy requirements (in particular, compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign laws relating to handlingof personal information about individuals) could increase our costs, and any significant data privacy incident could disrupt ouroperations, harm our reputation, expose us to legal risks and otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results ofoperations and financial condition.
In the normal course of our business, we collect, process, use and disclose personal information about individuals and rely on third party
service providers to host or otherwise process personal information. Many federal, state and foreign governmental bodies and agencies haveadopted, or are considering adopting, laws and regulations that impose limits on the collection, processing, use, disclosure and security of
personal information about individuals. In some cases, such laws and regulations can be enforced by private parties in addition to
government entities. In addition, privacy advocacy and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards or guidance
that may legally or contractually apply to us and our vendors. These non-uniform laws, regulations, standards and guidance are complex andcurrently evolving and can be subject to significant change and interpretation, and may be inconsistently applied and enforced from one
jurisdiction to another.
Our business requires the secure processing and storage of personal information relating to our customers, employees, business partners
and others, and other data such as confidential information. However, like any global enterprise operating in today’s digital businessenvironment, we and our third party service providers have experienced cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. For example, in July
2022, a minor phishing incident resulted in certain employee email accounts being accessed and acquired without authorization that
contained personal information about a very limited number of individuals, including travelers (following which we notified the individuals). We
react and respond to these cybersecurity incidents in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, our own cybersecurity protocols, aswell as our commercial partners’ standards (as appropriate), but we cannot ensure that our responses (or those of our partners and service
providers) will be sufficient to prevent or mitigate the potential adverse impacts of these cybersecurity incidents, which may be material.
There has been heightened legislative and regulatory focus on data privacy and cybersecurity in the U.S., EU, U.K., China and elsewhere,
particularly with respect to critical infrastructure providers, including those in the transportation sector. As a result, we must comply with aproliferating and fast-evolving set of legal requirements in this area, including substantive data privacy and cybersecurity standards as well as
requirements for notifying regulators and affected individuals in the event of a cybersecurity incident. In addition, we are subject to anincreasing number of reporting obligations in respect of material cybersecurity incidents. These reporting requirements have been proposed
or implemented by a number of regulators in different jurisdictions, may vary in their scope and application, and could contain conflicting
requirements. Certain of these rules and regulations may require us to report a cybersecurity incident before we have been able to fully
assess its impact or remediate the underlying issue. Efforts to comply with such reporting requirements could divert management’s attention
from our cybersecurity incident response and could potentially reveal system vulnerabilities to threat actors. Failure to timely reportcybersecurity incidents under these rules could also result in regulatory investigations, litigation, monetary fines, sanctions, or subject us toother forms of liability. Even though we believe we and our third party service providers are generally in compliance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations relating to privacy and data security, the regulatory environment is increasingly challenging as data privacy andcybersecurity laws, rules, regulations, industry standards and other requirements are continually developing. These changing requirements,
along with their evolving application, interpretation, and amendment, may present material obligations and risks to our business, including
significantly expanded compliance burdens, costs and enforcement risks.
In addition, many of our commercial partners, including credit card companies, have imposed data security standards that we must meet.
In particular, we are required by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, founded by the credit card companies, to comply
with their highest level of data security standards (the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)). While we and our service
providers continue our efforts to meet these standards, new and revised standards may be imposed that may be difficult for us to meet andcould increase our costs, and if we are unable to comply with revised standards, we may be subject to fines, restrictions or other liability,
which could materially and42

Table of Contents

adversely affect our business. Moreover, it is not guaranteed that PCI DSS compliance will prevent illegal or improper use of our payment
systems or the theft, loss or misuse of payment card data or transaction information.
Litigation, claims and enforcement related to data privacy, biometrics and other provisions of state privacy laws may involve newinterpretations of privacy laws. There has also been a noticeable uptick in class actions in the U.S. wherein plaintiffs have utilized a variety oflaws, including state wiretapping laws, in relation to companies’ use of tracking technologies, such as cookies and pixels. Compliance withthese laws and regulations may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, increasing the cost of compliance and our risk of liability from
litigation. Any litigation, claims or enforcement actions to which we are or become a party could potentially result in substantial monetarydamages or fines, and negative reputational impacts that cause us to lose existing or future customers, which could materially adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to risks from cyberattacks, and any cybersecurity incidents involving us, our third-party service providers, or
one of our AAdvantage partners or other business partners, could materially adversely affect our business, results ofoperations and financial condition.
Significant cybersecurity incidents involving us, our third-party service providers, or one of our AAdvantage partners or other business
partners, have in the past and may in the future result in a range of potentially material negative consequences for us, including unauthorizedaccess to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of company systems or data; theft of sensitive, regulated or confidential data,such as personal information or our intellectual property; the loss of functionality of critical systems through ransomware, denial of service orother cyberattacks; a diminished ability to retain or attract new customers; a deterioration in our relationships with business partners andother third parties; interruptions or failures in our payment related systems; and business delays, service or system disruptions, damage toequipment and injury to persons or property. The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage
systems are constantly evolving and may be difficult to anticipate or to detect for long periods of time. The constantly changing nature of thethreats means that we cannot and have not been able to prevent all data security breaches or misuse of data, and there is a risk that our
security measures will not be fully effective in the future. Similarly, we depend on the ability of our key commercial partners, including
AAdvantage partners, other business partners, our regional carriers, distribution partners and technology vendors, to conduct theirbusinesses in a manner that complies with applicable security standards and assures their ability to perform on a timely basis. A security
failure, including a failure to meet PCI DSS requirements, breach or other significant cybersecurity incident affecting one of our partners,
interruptions or failures in our payment related systems, could result in potentially material negative consequences for us, including loss ofcritical data, service interruptions, delays in operations, and the potential for fines, restrictions and expulsion from card acceptance programs.
In addition, we use third party service providers to help us deliver services to customers. These service providers may store personal
information, credit card information and/or other confidential information. Such information has been and will be the target of unauthorizedaccess or subject to security breaches because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise. Any of these could (a) resultin the loss of information, litigation, indemnity obligations, expensive and inconsistent cybersecurity incident and data breach notification
requirements, damage to our reputation, regulatory scrutiny, and other liability, or (b) have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The threat of cybersecurity incidents continues to increase as the frequency, intensity and sophistication of cyberattacks and intrusions
increase around the world. Diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as
diverse attack vectors such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or
technological error, denial of service attacks or exploitation of vulnerabilities, threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our andour third party service providers’ information systems, personal information and confidential information. Geopolitical issues also continue toincrease our cybersecurity risk and potential for cybersecurity incidents, for example, the conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, which has
resulted in a heightened risk of cyberattacks against companies like ours that have operations, vendors and/or supply chain providers locatedin or around the region of conflict or are otherwise related to the conflict. Despite ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the security of our
information systems and digital information, individuals, including employees, contractors, and external threat actors, may be able tocircumvent the security measures we put in place, and we may be unable to anticipate new techniques used for these attacks and intrusions
and implement adequate preventative measures. We, our business partners and service providers have been the target of cybersecurity
attacks in the past and expect that we, our business and service partners, will continue to experience cybersecurity incidents in the future.
The costs and operational consequences of defending against, preparing for, responding to and remediating a cybersecurity incident aresubstantial. As cybersecurity incidents become more frequent, intense and sophisticated, costs of proactive defense measures are
increasing. Further, we could be exposed to litigation, regulatory enforcement or other43

Table of Contents

legal action as a result of an incident, carrying the potential for damages, fines, sanctions or other penalties, as well as injunctive relief andenforcement actions requiring costly compliance measures. A significant number of recent data privacy and cybersecurity incidents, including
those involving other large airlines, have resulted in very substantial adverse financial consequences to those companies. A cybersecurity
incident could also impact our brand, including that of the AAdvantage program, harm our reputation and adversely impact our relationshipwith our customers, employees and stockholders. The increased regulatory focus on data privacy practices apart from how personal
information is secured, such as how personal information is collected, used for marketing purposes, and shared with third parties, also may
require changes to our processes and increase compliance costs. There is also an increased risk to our business in the event of a significant
cybersecurity or data privacy violation, including additional compliance costs, reputational harm, disruption to the manner in which we provide
our services, including the geographies we service, and being subject to complaints and/or regulatory investigations, significant monetaryliability, fines, penalties, regulatory enforcement, individual or class action lawsuits, public criticism, loss of customers, loss of goodwill orother additional liabilities, such as claims by industry groups or other third parties. Accordingly, failure to appropriately address data privacy
and cybersecurity issues could result in material financial and other liabilities and cause significant reputational harm to our company.
We rely on third-party distribution channels and must effectively manage the costs, rights and functionality of these channels.
While our priority is to migrate an increasing portion of our customers to our modern, direct distribution channels in lieu of third party
channels, we continue to rely on third-party distribution channels, including those provided by or through global distribution systems (GDSs)(e.g., Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport), conventional travel agents, travel management companies and online travel agents (OTAs) (e.g.,
Expedia, including its booking sites Orbitz and Travelocity, and Booking Holdings, including its booking sites Kayak and Priceline), todistribute a significant portion of our airline tickets, and we expect in the future to continue to rely on these channels. We are also dependent
upon the ability and willingness of these distribution channels to expand their ability to distribute and collect revenues for ancillary products(e.g., fees for selective seating). These distribution channels are more expensive and at present have less functionality in respect of ancillary
product offerings than those we operate ourselves, such as our website at www.aa.com. Certain of these distribution channels also effectively
restrict the manner in which we distribute our products generally.
To remain competitive, we will need to manage successfully our distribution costs and rights, increase our distribution flexibility, continue tomigrate the distribution of tickets to our proprietary and other modern distribution channels, and improve the functionality of our distribution
channels, while maintaining an industry-competitive cost structure and a high level of customer satisfaction. Further, as distribution
technology changes we will need to continue to update our technology by acquiring new technology from third parties, building thefunctionality ourselves, or a combination, which in any event will likely entail significant technological and commercial risk and involve
potentially material investments. These imperatives may affect our relationships with conventional travel agents, travel managementcompanies, GDSs and OTAs, including if consolidation of conventional travel agents, travel management companies, GDSs or OTAs
continues, or should any of these parties seek to acquire other technology providers thereby potentially limiting our technology alternatives.
Any inability to manage our third-party distribution costs, rights and functionality at a competitive level or any material diminishment or
disruption in the distribution of our tickets could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure throughout our system and, at some airports,
adequate slots, we may be unable to operate our existing flight schedule and to expand or change our route network in the
future, which may have a material adverse impact on our operations.
In order to operate our existing and proposed flight schedule and, where desirable, add service along new or existing routes, we must beable to maintain and/or obtain adequate gates, check-in counters, operations areas, operations control facilities and administrative support
space. As airports around the world become more congested, it may not be possible for us to ensure that our plans for new service can be
implemented in a commercially viable manner, given operating constraints at airports throughout our network, including those imposed byinadequate facilities at desirable airports.
In light of constraints on existing facilities, there is presently a significant amount of capital spending underway at major airports in the
United States, including large projects underway at a number of airports where we have significant operations, such as O’Hare International
Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. More generally, following long periods ofunderinvestment, there is a trend among airports in the United States to engage in significant, expensive expansion, remodeling andinfrastructure improvement projects. This spending is expected to result in increased costs to airlines and the traveling public that use thosefacilities as the airports seek to44

Table of Contents

recover their investments through increased rental, landing and other facility costs. In some circumstances, such costs could be imposed by
the relevant airport authority without our approval. Accordingly, our operating costs are expected to increase significantly at many airports at
which we operate, including a number of our hubs and gateways, as a result of capital spending projects currently underway and additional
projects that we expect to commence over the next several years.
In addition, operations at three major domestic airports, certain smaller domestic airports and many foreign airports we serve areregulated by governmental entities through allocations of slots or similar regulatory mechanisms that limit the rights of carriers to conduct
operations at those airports. Each slot represents the authorization to land at or take off from the particular airport during a specified time
period and may impose other operational restrictions as well. In the U.S., the DOT and the FAA currently regulate the allocation of slots or
slot exemptions at DCA and two New York City airports: JFK and LGA. Our operations at these airports generally require the allocation ofslots or similar regulatory authority. In addition to slot restrictions, operations at DCA and LGA are also limited based on a so-called“perimeter rule” which generally limits the stage length of the flights that can be operated from those airports to 1,250 and 1,500 miles,
respectively. Similarly, our operations at LHR, international airports in Frankfurt, Paris, Tokyo and other airports outside the U.S. are regulated
by local slot authorities pursuant to the International Airline Trade Association Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines and/or applicable local law.
Termination of slot controls or other operational restrictions at some or all of the foregoing airports could affect our operational performanceand competitive position. We currently have sufficient slots or analogous authorizations to operate our existing flights and we have generally,
but not always, been able to obtain the rights to expand our operations and to change our schedules. However, there is no assurance that wewill be able to obtain sufficient slots or analogous authorizations in the future or as to the cost of acquiring such rights because, among otherreasons, such allocations are often sought after by other airlines and are subject to changes in governmental policies. During periods of
reduced demand for air travel, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, we may rely on exemptions granted by applicable authorities fromthe requirement that we continuously use certain slots, gates and routes or risk having such operating rights revoked, and depending on theapplicable authority these exemptions can vary in the way they are structured and applied. We cannot predict whether such exemptions will
be made available, whether they will be granted on the same or similar terms as in past instances, or whether we ultimately could be at riskof losing valuable operating rights. If we are forced to surrender slots or other rights, we may be unable to provide our desired level of service
to or from certain destinations in the future. We cannot provide any assurance that regulatory changes resulting in changes in the applicationof slot controls or the allocation of or any reallocation of existing slots, the continued enforcement or termination of a perimeter rule or similar
regulatory regime will not have a material adverse impact on our operations.
Our ability to provide service can also be impaired at airports where the airport gates and other facilities are currently inadequate toaccommodate all of the service that we would like to provide, or where we have no access to gates at all.
Any limitation on our ability to acquire or maintain adequate gates, ticketing facilities, operations areas, operations control facilities, slots(where applicable), or office space could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Interruptions or disruptions in service at one of our key facilities could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
We operate principally through our hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix
and Washington, D.C. and partner gateways including London Heathrow (among others). Substantially all of our flights either originate at or
fly into one of these locations. A significant interruption or disruption in service at one of our hubs, gateways or other airports where we havea significant presence, resulting from air traffic control delays, weather conditions, natural disasters, growth constraints, performance by thirdparty service providers (such as electric utility or telecommunications providers), failure of computer systems, disruptions at airport facilities
or other key facilities used by us to manage our operations (including as a result of social or environmental activism), labor relations, power
supplies, fuel supplies, terrorist activities, or otherwise could result in the cancellation or delay of a significant portion of our flights and, as aresult, could have a severe impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have limited control, particularly in the
short term, over the operation, quality or maintenance of many of the services on which our operations depend and over whether vendors ofsuch services will improve or continue to provide services that are essential to our business.

Increases in insurance costs or reductions in insurance coverage may adversely impact our operations and financial results.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 led to a significant increase in insurance premiums and a decrease in the insurance coverageavailable to commercial air carriers. Accordingly, our insurance costs increased significantly, and our ability to continue to obtain insurance
even at current prices remains uncertain. The occurrence or persistence of certain events, including armed conflicts, could also impact ourability to obtain commercial insurance coverage against certain risks, or to obtain such insurance on commercially acceptable terms. If weare unable to maintain adequate insurance coverage or to secure suitable alternatives outside the commercial insurance markets, ourbusiness could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, severe disruptions in the domestic and global financial markets could
adversely impact the claims paying ability of some insurers. Future downgrades in the ratings of enough insurers could adversely impact boththe availability of appropriate insurance coverage and its cost. Because of competitive pressures in our industry, our ability to pass along
additional insurance costs to passengers is limited. As a result, further increases in insurance costs or reductions in available insurance
coverage could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
The airline industry is heavily taxed.
The airline industry is subject to extensive government fees and taxation that negatively impact our revenue and profitability. The U.S.
airline industry is one of the most heavily taxed of all industries. These fees and taxes have grown significantly in the past decade fordomestic flights, and various U.S. fees and taxes also are assessed on international flights. For example, as permitted by federal legislation,
most major U.S. airports impose a per-passenger facility charge on us. In addition, the governments of foreign countries in which we operate
impose on U.S. airlines, including us, various fees and taxes, and these assessments have been increasing in number and amount in recent
years. Moreover, we are obligated to collect a federal excise tax, commonly referred to as the “ticket tax,” on domestic and international airtransportation. We collect the excise tax, along with certain other U.S. and foreign taxes and user fees on air transportation (such as
passenger security fees), and pass along the collected amounts to the appropriate governmental agencies. Although these taxes and fees
are not our operating expenses, they represent an additional cost to our customers. There are continuing efforts in Congress and in othercountries to raise different portions of the various taxes, fees, and charges imposed on airlines and their passengers, including the passenger
facility charge, and we may not be able to recover all of these charges from our customers. Increases in such taxes, fees and charges could
negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Under DOT regulations, all governmental taxes and fees must be included in the prices we quote or advertise to our customers. Due tothe competitive revenue environment, many increases in these fees and taxes have been absorbed by the airline industry rather than being
passed on to the customer. Further increases in fees and taxes may reduce demand for air travel, and thus our revenues.
Risks Related to Ownership of AAG Common Stock and Convertible Notes
The price of AAG common stock has been and may in the future be volatile.
The market price of AAG common stock has fluctuated substantially in the past, and may fluctuate substantially in the future, due to avariety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:•the effects of external events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business or the U.S. and global economies;•

macro-economic conditions, including the price of fuel;•changes in market values of airline companies as well as general market conditions;•

our operating and financial results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors;•

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;•

changes in our level of outstanding indebtedness and other obligations;•changes in our credit ratings;•

material announcements by us or our competitors;
46

Table of Contents•

expectations regarding any future capital deployment program, including share repurchase programs and any future dividend
payments that may be declared by our Board of Directors, or any subsequent determination to cease repurchasing stock or
paying dividends;•

new regulatory pronouncements and changes in regulatory guidelines;•

general and industry-specific economic conditions;•changes in our key personnel;•

inclusion of our common stock in broad market indexes favored by passive investors;•

investor preferences to invest in certain sectors, including large technology companies in lieu of industrial or transportationcompanies;•

public or private sales of a substantial number of shares of AAG common stock or issuances of AAG common stock upon theexercise or conversion of restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, or other securities that may be issued fromtime to time, including warrants we have issued in connection with our receipt of funds under the CARES Act, the PSP
Extension Law and the ARP;•

increases or decreases in reported holdings by insiders or other significant stockholders;•fluctuations in trading volume; and•technical factors in the public trading market for our stock that may produce price movements that may or may not comportwith macro, industry or company-specific fundamentals, including, without limitation, the sentiment of retail investors(including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites), the amount and status of short interest in
our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our common stock and any related hedging
and other technical trading factors.

The closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market varied from $10.92 to $18.80 during 2023 and $12.93 to$15.36 during 2024 year-to-date through February 16, 2024. At times, fluctuations in our stock price have been rapid, imposing risks on
investors due to the possibility of significant, short-term price volatility. While we believe that in recent years this wide range of trading prices
has largely reflected the changing prospects for a large airline facing the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we also believe,
based in part on the commentary of market analysts, that the trading price of our common stock has at times been influenced by the technicaltrading factors discussed in the last bullet above. On some occasions, market analysts have explained fluctuations in our stock price byreference to purported “short squeeze” activity. A “short squeeze” is a technical market condition that occurs when the price of a stockincreases substantially, forcing market participants who had taken a position that its price would fall (i.e., who had sold the stock “short”), tobuy it, which in turn may create significant, short-term demand for the stock not for fundamental reasons, but rather due to the need for suchmarket participants to acquire the stock in order to forestall the risk of even greater losses. A “short squeeze” condition in the market for astock can lead to short-term conditions involving very high volatility and trading that may or may not track fundamental valuation models.
If we decide to make repurchases of or pay dividends on our common stock, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to do soor that such a capital deployment program will enhance long-term stockholder value.
If we determine to make any share repurchases in the future, such repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may
include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions. Our future
repurchases of AAG common stock, if any, may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion and without prior notice.
If we determine to make any dividends in the future, such dividends that may be declared and paid from time to time will be subject tomarket and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The amount and timing of any future dividends, ifany, may vary, and the payment of any dividend does not assure that we will pay dividends in the future.
In addition, any future repurchases of AAG common stock or payment of dividends, or any determination to cease repurchasing stock or
paying dividends, could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a future share repurchase program and any future
dividends could cause our stock price to be higher than it would otherwise be and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock.
Additionally, any future repurchases of AAG common stock47

Table of Contents

or payment of dividends will diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future
strategic opportunities and acquisitions. Further, our repurchase of AAG common stock may fluctuate such that our cash flow may beinsufficient to fully cover our share repurchases. Under the recently enacted IRA, we may become subject to an excise tax on the fair market
value of AAG common stock repurchased after December 31, 2022, which may adversely affect our financial condition. Although our share
repurchase programs are intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance that they will do so.
AAG’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Tax Benefit Preservation Plan include provisions that limit voting and acquisitionand disposition of our equity interests and specify an exclusive forum for certain stockholder disputes.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws include significant provisions that limit voting and ownership and disposition of our equity
interests as described in Part II, Item 5. Market for American Airlines Group’s Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer
Purchases of Equity Securities - “Ownership Restrictions” and AAG’s Description of the Registrants’ Securities Registered Pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto. Further restrictions are set forth in our Tax Benefit
Preservation Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to AAG’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2021. These restrictions may
adversely affect the ability of certain holders of AAG common stock and our other equity interests to vote such interests and adversely affectthe ability of persons to acquire shares of AAG common stock and our other equity interests.
Our Certificate of Incorporation also specifies that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for
substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders. Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent
permitted by applicable law, we do not intend for the exclusive forum provision to apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability createdby the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, and acknowledge that federal courts haveconcurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act). We note that
there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision as it applies to the Securities Act and that investors cannot waive
compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This provision may have the effect of discouraging
lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Certain provisions of AAG’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws make it difficult for stockholders to change the compositionof our Board of Directors and may discourage takeover attempts that some of our stockholders might consider beneficial.
Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as currently in effect, may have the effect of delaying or preventingchanges in control if our Board of Directors determines that such changes in control are not in our best interest and the best interest of ourstockholders. These provisions include, among other things, the following:•

advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders’ meetings;•

the ability of our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the board;•a prohibition against stockholders taking action by written consent;•

stockholders are restricted from calling a special meeting unless they hold at least 20% of our outstanding shares and follow
the procedures provided for in the amended Bylaws;•a requirement that holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors
approve any amendment of our Bylaws submitted to stockholders for approval; and•super-majority voting requirements to modify or amend specified provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation.
48

Table of Contents

These provisions are not intended to prevent a takeover, but are intended to protect and maximize the value of the interests of ourstockholders. While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our
Board of Directors, they could enable our Board of Directors to prevent a transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might
believe to be in their best interest and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors. In
addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits business combinations
with interested stockholders. Interested stockholders do not include stockholders whose acquisition of our securities is approved by the
Board of Directors prior to the investment under Section 203.
The issuance or sale of shares of our common stock, rights to acquire shares of our common stock, or warrants issued to the
U.S. Department of Treasury under the CARES Act, the PSP Extension Law, the ARP, PSP1, PSP2 and PSP3, could depress the
trading price of our common stock and the Convertible Notes.
We may conduct future offerings of material amounts of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or
exercisable for our common stock to finance our operations, to fund acquisitions, or for any other purposes at any time and from time to time(including as compensation to the U.S. Government for the proceeds received pursuant to the payroll support program established under theCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (PSP1), the payroll support program established under the Subtitle A of
Title IV of Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (PSP Extension Law) (PSP2) and the payroll support program establishedunder the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) (PSP3)). If these additional shares or securities are issued or sold, or if it is perceived
that they will be sold, into the public market or otherwise, the trading price of our common stock and the 6.50% convertible senior notes due
2025 (the Convertible Notes) could decline substantially. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or rights to acquire shares of ourcommon stock, if any of our existing stockholders sells a substantial amount of our common stock, or if the market perceives that such
issuances or sales may occur, then the trading price of our common stock and the Convertible Notes could decline substantially.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
We had no unresolved SEC staff comments that were issued 180 days or more preceding December 31, 2023.
ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
The safety and security of our customers and team members is our top priority. This includes working to put in place appropriate
administrative, physical and technical cybersecurity safeguards to help protect our assets that keep our operation running and securely store
the information in our care. We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect theconfidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information.
We have created, and assess our program against, an integrated cybersecurity framework using various National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) security standards, guidelines and best practices. This does not imply that we meet any particular technicalstandards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use various NIST security standards, guidelines and best practices to identify,
assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.
Our cybersecurity risk management program is overseen by our Executive Cybersecurity Risk Group (ECRG) which is comprised of ourChief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO), Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer. The ECRG, working with our Chief Information
Security Officer (CISO), assists the Board of Directors and our senior leadership team in fulfilling their responsibilities for cybersecurity
governance, approval and oversight through the periodic reporting and review of security strategy and risk management practices. Our
cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall risk management processes and shares common reporting channels
and governance processes that apply across the enterprise to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk governanceprograms.
Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:•

risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, and our broader
enterprise IT environment;•a cybersecurity team principally responsible for managing our (1) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) security
controls, (3) vulnerability management program and (4) detection and response to cybersecurity incidents;
49

Table of Contents•

the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security
controls;•

policies, procedures and standards that are utilized to outline expectations, guidelines and best practices for managing
cybersecurity risks;•cybersecurity awareness training for our employees, incident response personnel and senior management;•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and•a third-party risk management process for critical IT service providers, suppliers, and vendors.

We are constantly assessing our environment for cybersecurity threats, and we face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, arereasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. At the time ofthis filing, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that havematerially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk
Factors – “Evolving cybersecurity and data privacy requirements (in particular, compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign laws
relating to handling of personal information about individuals) could increase our costs, and any significant cybersecurity or data privacy
incident could disrupt our operations, harm our reputation, expose us to legal risks and otherwise materially adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.”
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board of Directors consider cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee(Committee) oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management’s implementation of
our cybersecurity risk management program.
The Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee,
as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as certain incidents with lesser impact potential.
The Committee reports to the full Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board of
Directors also receives periodic briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board of Directors members receive
presentations on cybersecurity topics from a combination of our CDIO, CISO, Deputy General Counsel, internal security staff, externalcounsel or external experts, as part of the Board of Director’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies.
Our management team, including our CDIO, CISO, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel – Chief Privacy and Data Protection
Officer, Vice President of Infrastructure and Operations and additional members of the ECRG are responsible for assessing and managing
our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program andsupervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Collectively, our management teamhas extensive information technology experience, as well as cybersecurity incident response, compliance, oversight, and program
management experience. Additionally, certain leaders and personnel within the cybersecurity organization hold industry certifications, suchas Certified Information Systems Security Professional or Certified Information Security Manager.
Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various
means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other various sources including external
consultants engaged by us.

Delivery schedule represents our best estimate as of the date of this report as described in footnote (e) to the “Contractual Obligations”
table in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Actual delivery dates
are subject to change, which could be material, based on various potential factors including production delays by the manufacturer andregulatory concerns.

As of December 31, 2023, we had committed to purchase two used Airbus A321neo aircraft which were delivered in January 2024. We
had also committed to purchasing six used Embraer 175 aircraft, which are currently flown under a capacity purchase agreement with a thirdparty regional carrier and which are already included in our aircraft count. We also have agreements for 44 spare engines to be delivered in
2024 and beyond.
We have financing commitments in place for all aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2024, except for three Airbus A320neo Family aircraft
and two Embraer 175 aircraft. Our ability to draw on the financing commitments we have in place is subject to (1) the satisfaction of various
terms and conditions including, in some cases, on our acquisition of the aircraft by a certain date and (2) the performance by the relevant
financing counterparty of its obligations thereunder. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “We will need to obtain sufficient financing or othercapital to operate successfully” for additional discussion.
See Note 11 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 10 to American’s Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part II, Item 8B for additional information on aircraft and engine acquisition commitments.
Ground Properties
At each airport where we conduct flight operations, we have agreements, generally with a governmental unit or authority, for the use ofpassenger, operations and baggage handling space as well as runways and taxiways. These agreements, particularly in the U.S., often
contain provisions for periodic adjustments to rates and charges applicable under such agreements. These rates and charges also vary with
our level of operations and the operations of the airport. Additionally, at our hub locations and in certain other cities we serve, we leaseadministrative offices, catering, cargo, training, maintenance and other facilities.
We lease or have built on leased property our headquarters and training facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, our principal overhaul andmaintenance base in Tulsa, Oklahoma, our regional reservation offices, and administrative offices throughout the U.S. and abroad.

MARKET FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP’S COMMON STOCK, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER
PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESStock Exchange Listing
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “AAL.” There is no trading market for thecommon stock of American, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAG.
As of February 16, 2024, there were approximately 54,000 holders of record of our common stock. However, because many of the sharesof our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we believe there are substantially more beneficial
holders of our common stock than record holders.
Information on securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans will be set forth in our Proxy Statement for the2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of American Airlines Group Inc. (the Proxy Statement) under the caption “Equity Compensation Plan
Information” and is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Dividends on Common Stock
There were no cash dividend payments during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. In connection with our receipt of financial
assistance under PSP1, PSP2 and PSP3, we agreed not to pay dividends on AAG common stock through September 30, 2022, when thisrestriction expired. If we determine to make any dividends in the future, such dividends that may be declared and paid from time to time will
be subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. We are not obligated to continue a
dividend for any fixed period, and the payment of dividends may be suspended or discontinued again at any time at our discretion andwithout prior notice.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
The remaining authority under our most recent $2.0 billion share repurchase program expired in December 2020, and in connection with
our receipt of financial assistance under PSP1, PSP2 and PSP3, we agreed not to repurchase shares of AAG common stock throughSeptember 30, 2022, when this restriction expired. No repurchases of AAG common stock were made in 2023 or 2022 following the lapse of
these restrictions. As of December 31, 2023, the Board of Directors of AAG had not authorized another share repurchase program. Any
future determination to enter into a share repurchase program will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to applicable legal
limitations, and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by
the Board of Directors.
See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “If we decide to make repurchases of or pay dividends on our common stock, we cannot guaranteethat we will continue to do so or that such a capital deployment program will enhance long-term stockholder value.”55

Ownership Restrictions
AAG’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, consistent with the requirements of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States
Code, as amended (the Aviation Act), any persons or entities who are not a “citizen of the United States” (as defined under the Aviation Act
and administrative interpretations issued by the DOT, its predecessors and successors, from time to time), including any agent, trustee or
representative of such persons or entities (a non-citizen), shall not, in the aggregate, own (beneficially or of record) and/or control more than(a) 24.9% of the aggregate votes of all of our outstanding equity securities or (b) 49.0% of our outstanding equity securities. Our Certificate ofIncorporation and Bylaws further specify that it is the duty of each stockholder who is a non-citizen to register his, her or its equity securities
on our foreign stock record and provide for remedies applicable to stockholders that exceed the voting and ownership caps described above.
In addition, to reduce the risk of a potential adverse effect on our ability to use our NOL carryforwards and certain other tax attributes forfederal income tax purposes, and in connection with the expiration in December 2021 of certain transfer restrictions applicable to substantial
shareholders contained in our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of AAG adopted the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan. The Tax
Benefit Preservation Plan was subsequently ratified by our stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of AAG. The Tax Benefit
Preservation Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that we experience an "ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 by deterringcertain acquisitions of AAG common stock. There is no assurance, however, that the deterrent mechanism will be effective, and suchacquisitions may still occur. In addition, the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan may adversely affect the marketability of AAG common stock by
discouraging existing or potential investors from acquiring AAG common stock or additional shares of AAG common stock, because any nonexempt third party that acquires 4.9% or more of the then-outstanding shares of AAG common stock would suffer substantial dilution of its
ownership interest in AAG.
See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “AAG’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Tax Benefit Preservation Plan include provisions that
limit voting and acquisition and disposition of our equity interests and specify an exclusive forum for certain stockholder disputes” and “Ourability to utilize our NOLs and other carryforwards may be limited.” Also see AAG’s Certification of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are filed
as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereto, for the full text of the foregoing restrictions and AAG’s Description of the Registrants’ Securities
Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, for a more detailed
description.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes use financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but that are not presented inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to understand and evaluate our current operating performanceand to allow for period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information toinvestors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, andshould be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared inaccordance with GAAP. We are providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures
on a GAAP basis.

The following table presents the components of our total net special items and the reconciliation of pre-tax income and net income (GAAPmeasures) to pre-tax income excluding net special items and net income excluding net special items (non-GAAP measures). Management
uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As
net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items allows management anadditional tool to understand our core operating performance.

Additionally, the table below presents the reconciliation of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net
special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items

the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude net special items and fuel allows management anadditional tool to understand and analyze our non-fuel costs and core operating performance. Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

Not meaningful or greater than 100% change.

Pre-Tax Income and Net Income
Pre-tax income and net income were $1.1 billion and $822 million, respectively, in 2023. This compares to 2022 pre-tax income and net
income of $186 million and $127 million, respectively.
The year-over-year improvement in our pre-tax income on a GAAP basis was driven primarily by higher passenger revenue and lower fuelcosts. Continued strength in demand for air travel and a 7.6% increase in revenue passenger miles (RPMs) as compared to 2022 contributed
to record passenger revenue in 2023. Aircraft fuel costs were lower primarily due to a 16.3% decrease in the average price per gallon of
aircraft fuel as compared to 2022. The increase to pre-tax income was partially offset by increases in certain operating expenses includingsalaries, wages and benefits costs, primarily as a result of the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our mainline pilots,
as described below. The 2023 period also included $1.3 billion of pre-tax net special items, principally related to one-time charges resulting
from the new collective bargaining agreement.
Excluding the effects of pre-tax net special items, pre-tax income was $2.5 billion and $458 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The
year-over-year improvement in our pre-tax income excluding pre-tax net special items was primarily due to record passenger revenue in
2023 and lower fuel costs, offset in part by increases in certain operating expenses including salaries, wages and benefits, as describedabove.
In May 2023, American and the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing our mainline pilots, reached an agreement in principle ona new collective bargaining agreement, which was ratified in August 2023. This four-year agreement provides wage rate increases, including
an initial wage rate increase of 21% effective as of January 1, 2023,
61

Table of Contents

quality-of-life benefits and other benefit-related items. The additional compensation for the 2023 period prior to contract ratification as a resultof the higher wage rates was recorded within salaries, wages and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations in the second andthird quarters of 2023. The agreement also included a provision for a one-time payment upon ratification. In 2023, one-time charges resulting
from the ratification of this new agreement were recorded as mainline operating special items, net in the consolidated statement ofoperations, including the one-time payment of $754 million as well as adjustments to other benefit-related items of $235 million. The one-time
payment and the additional compensation were principally paid in 2023, with remaining payments expected to be paid in the first quarter of
2024.
Revenue
In 2023, we reported total operating revenues of $52.8 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion, or 7.8%, as compared to 2022. Passenger
revenue was $48.5 billion, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 8.8%, as compared to 2022. The increase in passenger revenue in 2023 wasprimarily due to a 7.6% increase in RPMs, driven by the continued strength in demand for air travel, resulting in an 83.5% load factor.
Cargo revenue decreased $421 million, or 34.1%, in 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily due to a 29.4% decrease in cargo yield and a
6.7% decrease in cargo ton miles driven by lower demand and increased air freight capacity globally.
Other operating revenue increased $294 million, or 9.3%, in 2023 as compared to 2022, driven primarily by higher revenue associatedwith our loyalty program. During 2023 and 2022, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $5.2 billion and $4.5
billion, respectively.
Our total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) was 19.01 cents in 2023, a 1.0% increase as compared to 18.82 cents in 2022.
Fuel
In 2023, aircraft fuel expense totaled $12.3 billion, a decrease of $1.5 billion, or 11.1%, as compared to 2022. This decrease was primarily
driven by a 16.3% decrease in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel including related taxes to $2.96 in 2023 from $3.54 in 2022, offset
in part by a 6.1% increase in gallons of fuel consumed due to increased capacity.
As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not
to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions andother factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully
exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices.
Other Costs
We remain committed to actively managing our cost structure, which we believe is necessary in an industry in which economic prospects
are heavily dependent upon two variables we cannot control: general economic conditions and the price of fuel.
Our 2023 CASM was 17.92 cents, a decrease of 1.6%, from 18.20 cents in 2022. This decrease in CASM was primarily driven by lower
aircraft fuel costs in 2023, as described above, offset by higher salaries, wages and benefits costs associated with the ratification of a newcollective bargaining agreement with our mainline pilots, as described above.
Our 2023 CASM excluding net special items and fuel was 13.15 cents, an increase of 2.5%, from 12.83 cents in 2022, which was primarily
driven by higher salaries, wages and benefits costs associated with the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our mainline
pilots, as described above.
For a reconciliation of total operating CASM to total operating CASM excluding net special items and fuel, see Part II, Item 6. Selected
Consolidated Financial Data – “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”62

Liquidity
As of December 31, 2023, we had $10.4 billion in total available liquidity, consisting of $7.6 billion in unrestricted cash and short-term
investments and $2.9 billion in total undrawn capacity under revolving credit and other short-term facilities.
During 2023, we completed the following financing transactions (see Note 4 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item
8A for further information):•refinanced approximately $1.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility (the2013 Term Loan Facility Refinancing) through the combination of (i) the issuance of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of
7.25% senior secured notes due 2028 (the 7.25% Senior Secured Notes) and (ii) the entry into the Seventh Amendment to the 2013
Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the maturity of $1.0 billion in term loans under the 2013 Term Loan Facility was extended to
February 2028 from June 2025;•

extended the maturity of certain commitments under the 2013 Revolving Facility, 2014 Revolving Facility and April 2016 Revolving
Facility to October 2026;•

issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior secured notes due 2029 (the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes) in a
private offering and entered into the 2023 Credit Agreement that provides for a term loan facility (the 2023 Term Loan Facility) in an
aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion. The net proceeds from the offering of the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes, together with net
proceeds from borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan Facility and cash on hand were used to redeem all of American’s outstanding
11.75% senior secured notes due 2025 (the 11.75% Senior Secured Notes);•issued $1.1 billion of equipment loans and other notes payable in connection with the financing of certain aircraft; and•repurchased $552 million of secured and unsecured notes in the open market.

A significant portion of our debt financing agreements contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion ofunrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities and/or contain covenants requiring
us to meet certain loan to value, collateral coverage and/or peak debt service coverage ratios.
See Note 4 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A for additional information on our debt obligations.

Passenger revenue increased $3.9 billion, or 8.8%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to continued strength in demand for air travel,
resulting in a 7.6% increase in RPMs and an 83.5% load factor in 2023.
Cargo revenue decreased $421 million, or 34.1%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to a 29.4% decrease in cargo yield and a 6.7%
decrease in cargo ton miles driven by lower demand and increased air freight capacity globally.
Other operating revenue increased $294 million, or 9.3%, in 2023 from 2022 driven primarily by higher revenue associated with our loyalty
program. During 2023 and 2022, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $5.2 billion and $4.5 billion,
respectively.
Total operating revenues in 2023 increased $3.8 billion, or 7.8%, from 2022 driven primarily by the increase in passenger revenue as
described above. Our TRASM was 19.01 cents in 2023, a 1.0% increase as compared to 18.82 cents in 2022.

Additional detail regarding changes in our operating expenses is as follows:
Aircraft fuel and related taxes decreased $1.5 billion, or 11.1%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to a 16.3% decrease in the average priceper gallon of aircraft fuel including related taxes to $2.96 in 2023 from $3.54 in 2022, offset in part by a 6.1% increase in gallons of fuelconsumed due to increased capacity.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased $1.6 billion, or 12.4%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily driven by higher wage rates associated with theratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our mainline pilots.
Regional expenses increased $258 million, or 5.9%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to increased costs at our wholly-owned regional
carriers, including pay rate increases and higher costs for maintenance, materials and repairs driven by an increase in the volume of engine
overhauls.
Maintenance, materials and repairs increased $581 million, or 21.6%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to increased costs for engine
overhauls and airframe heavy checks driven by higher volume, flight hours and cost of materials.

Table of Contents

Other rent and landing fees increased $198 million, or 7.3%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to rate increases at certain airports,
incremental engine leases and higher landing fees.
Selling expenses remained flat in 2023 from 2022 primarily due to a decrease in commissions expense, offset primarily by higher credit
card fees driven by the overall increase in passenger revenues.
Other operating expenses increased $584 million, or 10.8%, in 2023 from 2022 primarily driven by the increase in flight operations,
including increased costs for onboard food and catering, crew travel, ground handling and airport lounge operations, as well as certain
general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense, net increased $183 million, or 9.3%, in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates on our variable-rate
debt instruments, offset in part by debt repayments.
In 2023, other nonoperating expense, net primarily included $362 million of net special charges principally associated with debt
refinancings and extinguishments and mark-to-market net unrealized losses associated with certain equity investments, offset in part by $32
million of non-service related pension and other postretirement benefit plan income.
In 2022, other nonoperating income, net primarily included $424 million of non-service related pension and other postretirement benefit

equity investments.
66

Table of Contents

The decrease in non-service related pension and other postretirement benefit plan income in 2023 as compared to 2022 is principally due
to an increase in interest cost for the pension and other postretirement benefit obligations driven by higher discount rates and a decrease in
expected return on pension plan assets from a reduction in plan assets.
Income Taxes
In 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $299 million with an effective rate of approximately 27%, which was substantially noncash. Substantially all of our income before income taxes is attributable to the United States. At December 31, 2023, we had approximately$13.7 billion of gross federal NOLs and $4.7 billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $3.4
billion will expire beginning in 2029 if unused and $15.0 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $5.5 billion of
NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2023, which will expire in taxable years 2023 through 2043 if
unused.
In 2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $59 million at an effective rate of approximately 32%, which was substantially non-cash.
See Note 6 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A for additional information on income taxes.

Interest income increased $729 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily as a result of higher returns on American’s short-term
investments and related party receivables from AAG. Interest expense, net increased $334 million, or 17.8%, in 2023 compared to 2022
primarily due to higher interest rates on American’s variable-rate debt instruments and related party payables from AAG’s wholly-owned
subsidiaries, offset in part by debt repayments.
In 2023, other nonoperating expense, net primarily included $362 million of net special charges principally associated with debt
refinancings and extinguishments and mark-to-market net unrealized losses associated with certain equity investments, offset in part by $33

or otherwise. Such repurchases, prepayments, retirements or exchanges, if any, will be conducted on such terms and at such prices as we
may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, legal and contractual restrictions and otherfactors. The amounts involved may be material. For further information regarding our debt repurchases for the year ended December 31,
2023, see Note 4 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 3 to American’s Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part II, Item 8B.
Certain Covenants
Our debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among
other things, may restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase stock. Our debt
agreements also contain customary change of control provisions, which may require us to repay or redeem such indebtedness upon certain
events constituting a change of control under the relevant agreement, in certain cases at a premium. Additionally, certain of our debt
financing agreements (including our secured notes, term loans, revolving credit facilities and spare engine enhanced equipment trust
certificates (EETCs)) contain loan to value (LTV), collateral coverage or peak debt service coverage ratio covenants and certain agreements
require us to appraise the related collateral annually or semiannually. Pursuant to such agreements, if the applicable LTV, collateral coverageor peak debt service coverage ratio exceeds or falls below a specified threshold, as the case may be, we will be required, as applicable, topledge additional qualifying collateral (which in some cases may include cash or investment securities), withhold additional cash in certain
accounts, or pay down such financing, in whole or in part, or the interest rate for the relevant financing will be increased. As of the mostrecent applicable measurement dates, we were in compliance with each of the foregoing LTV, collateral coverage and peak debt service
coverage tests. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt financing agreements contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate ofat least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities, and ourAAdvantage Financing contains a peak debt service coverage ratio, pursuant to which failure to comply with a certain threshold may result inearly repayment, in whole or in part, of the AAdvantage Financing. For further information regarding our debt covenants, see Note 4 to AAG’s
Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 3 to American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8B.

Sources and Uses of Cash
For a comparison of the 2022 and 2021 reporting periods, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – “Sources and Uses of Cash” of our 2022 Form 10-K.
AAG
Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $3.8 billion and $2.2 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively, a $1.6 billion year-over-yearincrease due to higher profitability and cash provided by working capital management.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $502 million in 2023 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $636 million
in 2022.
Our principal investing activities in 2023 included $2.6 billion of capital expenditures, which primarily related to the purchase of 17 Boeing
737-8 MAX aircraft, ten Airbus A321neo aircraft, seven Embraer 175 aircraft, seven Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft and 28 spare engines.
These cash outflows were offset in part by $1.5 billion in net sales of short-term investments and $230 million of proceeds from the sale ofproperty and equipment and sale-leaseback transactions.
Our principal investing activities in 2022 included $3.7 billion in net sales of short-term investments. These cash inflows were offset in partby $2.5 billion of capital expenditures, which primarily related to the purchase of 24 Airbus A321neo aircraft and 12 spare engines, and $321
million of equity investments, principally related to GOL.
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 billion and $2.6 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our principal financing activities in 2023 included $2.9 billion in net repayments of debt and finance lease obligations primarily due toscheduled debt repayments. In February 2023, we refinanced approximately $1.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans
outstanding under the 2013 Term Loan Facility through the combination of (i) issuing $750 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.25%
Senior Secured Notes and (ii) extending the maturity of $1.0 billion in term loans under the 2013 Term Loan Facility. In December 2023, weissued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes and entered into the 2023 Term Loan Facility in an
aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion. The net proceeds of the 8.50% Senior Secured Notes, together with net proceeds from borrowings
under the 2023 Term Loan Facility and cash on hand, were used to redeem all of the outstanding 11.75% Senior Secured Notes. In addition,
we borrowed $1.1 billion in connection with the financing of certain aircraft and repurchased $552 million of secured and unsecured notes in
the open market.
Our principal financing activities in 2022 included $3.8 billion in repayments of debt and finance lease obligations, consisting of $2.2 billionof scheduled debt repayments including the repayment of $401 million in connection with the maturity of our 5.000% unsecured notes, the$1.2 billion prepayment of the December 2016 Term Loan Facility and the repurchase of $349 million of unsecured notes in the open market.
These cash outflows were offset in part by $1.1 billion of long-term debt proceeds, consisting of $866 million from the issuance of equipment
notes related to EETCs and $205 million in connection with the financing of certain aircraft.
AmericanOperating Activities
American’s net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 billion and $1.3 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively, a $2.4 billion yearover-year increase due to higher profitability and cash provided by working capital management.
Investing Activities
American’s net cash used in investing activities was $449 million in 2023 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $693
million in 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
An off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity
under which a company has (1) made guarantees, (2) a retained or a contingent interest in transferred assets, (3) an obligation underderivative instruments classified as equity or (4) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity thatprovides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development
arrangements with us.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements of the types described in the first three categories above that we believe may have a material
current or future effect on financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
72

Table of Contents

Pass-Through Trusts
American currently has 308 owned aircraft and 60 owned spare aircraft engines, which in each case were financed with EETCs issued bypass-through trusts. These trusts are off-balance sheet entities, the primary purpose of which is to finance the acquisition of flight equipment
or to permit issuance of debt backed by existing flight equipment. In the case of aircraft EETCs, rather than finance each aircraft separately
when such aircraft is purchased, delivered or refinanced, these trusts allow American to raise the financing for a number of aircraft at one
time and, if applicable, place such funds in escrow pending a future purchase, delivery or refinancing of the relevant aircraft. Similarly, in thecase of the spare engine EETCs, the trusts allow American to use its existing pool of spare engines to raise financing under a single facility.
The trusts have also been structured to provide for certain credit enhancements, such as liquidity facilities to cover certain interest payments,that reduce the risks to the purchasers of the trust certificates and, as a result, reduce the cost of aircraft financing to American.
Each trust covers a set number of aircraft or spare engines scheduled to be delivered, financed or refinanced upon the issuance of the
EETC or within a specific period of time thereafter. At the time of each covered aircraft or spare engine financing, the relevant trust used theproceeds from the issuance of the EETC (which may have been available at the time of issuance thereof or held in escrow until financing of
the applicable aircraft following its delivery) to purchase equipment notes relating to the financed aircraft or engines. The equipment notes
are issued, at American’s election, in connection with a mortgage financing of the aircraft or spare engines. The equipment notes are secured
by a security interest in the aircraft or engines, as applicable. The pass-through trust certificates are not direct obligations of, nor are theyguaranteed by, AAG or American. However, the equipment notes issued to the trusts are direct obligations of American and, in certain
instances, have been guaranteed by AAG. As of December 31, 2023, $7.7 billion associated with these mortgage financings is reflected as
debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Letters of Credit and Other
We provide financial assurance, such as letters of credit and surety bonds, primarily to support projected workers’ compensation
obligations and airport commitments. As of December 31, 2023, we had $318 million of letters of credit and surety bonds securing various
obligations, of which $94 million is collateralized with our restricted cash. The letters of credit and surety bonds that are subject to expiration
will expire on various dates through 2028.

(e)

See Part I, Item 2. Properties – “Aircraft and Engine Purchase Commitments” for additional information about the firm commitment
aircraft delivery schedule, in particular the footnote to the table thereunder as to potential changes to such delivery schedule. Due touncertainty surrounding the timing of delivery of certain aircraft, the amounts in the table represent our most current estimate based oncontractual delivery schedules adjusted for updates and revisions to such schedules communicated to management by the applicableequipment manufacturer. However, the actual delivery schedule may differ, potentially materially, based on various potential factors
including production delays by the manufacturer and regulatory concerns. Additionally, the amounts in the table exclude five Boeing 787

Table of Contents

aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2024, for which we have obtained committed lease financing. This financing is reflected in theoperating lease commitments line above.
(f)

Represents minimum payments under capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers. These commitments are
estimates of costs based on assumed minimum levels of flying under the capacity purchase agreements and American’s actual
payments could differ materially. Rental payments under operating leases for certain aircraft flown under these capacity purchaseagreements are reflected in the operating lease commitments line above.

(g)

Represents minimum pension contributions based on actuarially determined estimates as of December 31, 2023 and is based on
estimated payments through 2033. In January 2024, we made $280 million of required pension contributions.

(h)Includes purchase commitments for aircraft fuel, flight equipment maintenance and information technology support and excludes
obligations under certain fuel offtake agreements or other agreements for which the timing of the related expenditure is uncertain, or
which are subject to material contingencies, such as the construction of a production facility.

Capital Raising Activity and Other Possible Actions
In light of our significant financial commitments related to, among other things, the servicing and amortization of existing debt andequipment leasing arrangements and new flight equipment, we and our subsidiaries will regularly consider, and enter into negotiations related
to, capital raising and liability management activity, which may include the entry into leasing transactions and future issuances of, andtransactions designed to manage the timing and amount of, secured or unsecured debt obligations or additional equity or equity-linked
securities in public or private offerings or otherwise. The cash available from operations (if any) and these sources, however, may not be
sufficient to cover our cash obligations because economic factors may reduce the amount of cash generated by operations or increase costs.
For instance, an economic downturn or general global instability caused by military actions, terrorism, disease outbreaks (such as the
COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters or other causes could reduce the demand for air travel, which would reduce the amount of cash
generated by operations. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business” foradditional discussion. An increase in costs, either due to an increase in borrowing costs caused by a reduction in credit ratings or a generalincrease in interest rates, or due to an increase in the cost of fuel, maintenance, aircraft, aircraft engines or parts, could decrease the amountof cash available to cover cash contractual obligations. Moreover, certain of our financing arrangements contain significant minimum cash
balance or similar liquidity requirements. As a result, we cannot use all of our available cash to fund operations, capital expenditures andcash obligations without violating these requirements. See Note 4 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 3
to American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8B for information regarding our financing arrangements.
In the past, we have from time to time refinanced, redeemed or repurchased our debt and taken other steps to reduce or otherwise
manage the aggregate amount and cost of our debt, lease and other obligations or otherwise improve our balance sheet. Going forward,
depending on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations, we may continue to take such actions, and the amounts
involved may be material.

OTHER INFORMATION
Basis of Presentation
See Note 1 to each of AAG’s and American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Items 8A and 8B, respectively, for information
regarding the basis of presentation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from thoseestimates. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and could potentiallyresult in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have identified the following critical accounting policies
that impact the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. See the “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies” included in Note 1 to each of AAG’s and American’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Items 8A and 8B, respectively, foradditional discussion of the application of these estimates and other accounting policies.
Passenger Revenue
We recognize all revenues generated from transportation on American and our regional flights operated under the brand name American
Eagle, including associated baggage fees and other inflight services, as passenger revenue when transportation is provided. Ticket and otherrelated sales for transportation that has not yet been provided are initially deferred and recorded as air traffic liability on our consolidatedbalance sheets. The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines.
The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. The majority of tickets sold are nonrefundable. A small percentage oftickets, some of which are partially used tickets, expire unused. The estimate for tickets expected to expire unused is generally based on an
analysis of our historical data and other current applicable factors such as policy changes. We have consistently applied this accounting
method to estimate and recognize revenue from unused tickets at the date of travel. This estimate is periodically evaluated based on
subsequent activity to validate its accuracy. Any adjustments resulting from periodic evaluations of the estimated air traffic liability areincluded in passenger revenue during the period in which the evaluations are completed.
Loyalty Revenue
We currently operate the loyalty program, AAdvantage. This program awards mileage credits to passengers who fly on American, any
oneworld airline or other partner airlines, or by using the services of other program participants, such as our co-branded credit cards, andcertain hotels and car rental companies. Mileage credits can be redeemed for travel on American and other participating partner airlines, aswell as non-air travel awards such as hotels and rental cars. For mileage credits earned by AAdvantage program members, we apply thedeferred revenue method.
Mileage credits earned through travel
For mileage credits earned through travel, we apply a relative selling price approach whereby the total amount collected from eachpassenger ticket sale is allocated between the air transportation and the mileage credits earned. The portion of each passenger ticket sale
attributable to mileage credits earned is initially deferred and then recognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed andtransportation is provided. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is determined using an equivalent ticket value approach, which uses
historical data, including award redemption patterns by geographic region and class of service, as well as similar cash fares as those used tosettle award redemptions. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is adjusted for an estimate of mileage credits that will not be
redeemed using a statistical model based on historical redemption patterns to develop an estimate of the likelihood of future redemption. For
the year ended December 31, 2023, a hypothetical 10% increase in the estimated selling price of mileage credits would have decreased
revenues by approximately $128 million as a result of additional amounts deferred from passenger ticket sales to be recognized in future
periods.
76

Table of Contents

Mileage credits sold to co-branded credit cards and other partners
We sell mileage credits to participating airline partners and non-airline business partners, including our co-branded credit card partners,
under contracts with remaining terms generally from one to six years as of December 31, 2023. Consideration received from the sale ofmileage credits is variable and payment terms typically are within 30 days subsequent to the month of mileage sale. Sales of mileage credits
to non-airline business partners are comprised of two components, transportation and marketing. We allocate the consideration received
from these sales of mileage credits based on the relative selling price of each product or service delivered.
Our most significant mileage credit partner agreements are our co-branded credit card agreements with Citi and Barclaycard US. We
identified two revenue elements in these co-branded credit card agreements: the transportation component and the marketing component.
The transportation component represents the estimated selling price of future travel awards and is determined using the same equivalentticket value approach described above. The portion of each mileage credit sold attributable to transportation is initially deferred and thenrecognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed and transportation is provided.
The marketing component includes the use of intellectual property, including the American brand and access to loyalty program member
lists, which is the predominant element in these agreements, as well as advertising and other travel-related benefits. We recognize themarketing component in other revenue in the period of the mileage credit sale following the sales-based royalty method.
For the portion of our outstanding mileage credits that we estimate will not be redeemed, we recognize the associated value proportionallyas the remaining mileage credits are redeemed. Our estimates use a statistical model based on historical redemption patterns to develop an
estimate of the likelihood of future redemption. For the year ended December 31, 2023, a hypothetical 10% increase in our estimate of
mileage credits not expected to be redeemed would have increased revenues by approximately $127 million.
Pensions and Retiree Medical and Other Postretirement Benefits
We recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of ourpension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits plans on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment toaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Our pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits costs and liabilities are calculated using various actuarial assumptions
and methodologies. We use certain assumptions including, but not limited to, the selection of the: (1) discount rate and (2) expected return onplan assets (as discussed below). These assumptions as of December 31 were:2023

Pension weighted average discount rate (1)Retiree medical and other postretirement benefits weighted average discount rate (1)Expected rate of return on plan assets (2)

2022

5.2 %
5.3 %
8.0 %

5.6 %
5.7 %
8.0 %

(1)

When establishing the discount rate to measure our obligations, we match high quality corporate bonds available in the marketplace
whose cash flows approximate our projected benefit disbursements. Lowering the discount rate by 50 basis points as of December 31,
2023 would increase our pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits obligations by approximately $740 million and$40 million, respectively, and decrease estimated 2024 pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits expense byapproximately $5 million and $1 million, respectively.

(2)

The expected rate of return on plan assets is based upon an evaluation of our historical trends and experience, taking into accountcurrent and expected market conditions and our target asset allocation of 30% U.S. fixed income securities, 24% U.S. stocks, 24%
private investments, 16% developed international stocks and 6% emerging market stocks. The expected rate of return on plan assets
component of our net periodic benefit cost is calculated based on the fair value of plan assets and our target asset allocation. Lowering
the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets by 50 basis points as of December 31, 2023 would increase estimated 2024 pension
expense and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits expense by approximately $60 million and $1 million, respectively.
77

Table of Contents

Annually, we review and revise certain economic and demographic assumptions including the pension and retiree medical and otherpostretirement benefits discount rates and health care costs. The net effect of changing these assumptions for the pension plans resulted in
an increase of $546 million in the projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2023. The net effect of changing these assumptions for retiree
medical and other postretirement benefits plans resulted in an increase of $89 million in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December 31, 2023.
See Note 9 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 8 to American’s Consolidated Financial Statements
in Part II, Item 8B for additional information regarding our employee benefit plans.
Income Taxes
Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. We provide a
valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of our deferred tax assets, will not berealized. We consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of ourdeferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact our assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond ourcontrol, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. We have determined that
positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of our deferred tax assets. There can be no assurance thatan additional valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required. Such valuation allowance could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption ispermitted. We are currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will impact our income tax disclosures.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the price of
aircraft fuel, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as discussed below. The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider theeffects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor do they consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our
exposure to such changes. Therefore, actual results may differ.
Aircraft FuelOur operating results are materially impacted by changes in the availability, price volatility and cost of aircraft fuel, which represents one of
the largest single cost items in our business. Because of the amount of fuel needed to operate our business, even a relatively small increaseor decrease in the price of aircraft fuel can have a material effect on our operating results and liquidity. Market prices for aircraft fuel havefluctuated substantially over the past several years and prices continue to be highly volatile, with market spot prices ranging from a low ofapproximately $1.32 per gallon to a high of approximately $4.40 per gallon during the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023.
78

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not
to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions andother factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully
exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices. Based on our 2024 forecasted fuel consumption, we estimate that a one cent per gallon increase in theprice of aircraft fuel would increase our 2024 annual fuel expense by approximately $45 million.
Foreign Currency
We are exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency-denominated transactions.
Our largest exposure comes from the Euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling and various Latin American currencies (primarily theBrazilian real). We do not currently have a foreign currency hedge program. We estimate a uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the
U.S. dollar from 2023 levels relative to each of the currencies in which we have foreign currency exposure would have resulted in a decreasein pre-tax income of approximately $155 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Generally, fluctuations in foreign currencies, including devaluations, cannot be predicted by us and can significantly affect the value of ourassets located outside the United States. These conditions, as well as any further delays, devaluations or imposition of more stringent
repatriation restrictions, may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk
Factors – “We operate a global business with international operations that are subject to economic and political instability and have been,
and in the future may continue to be, adversely affected by numerous events, circumstances or government actions beyond our control” foradditional discussion of this and other currency risks.
Interest
Our earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on our interest expense fromvariable-rate debt instruments and our interest income from short-term, interest-bearing investments.
Our largest exposure with respect to variable-rate debt comes from changes in the relevant benchmark rate underlying such debt
financings, principally SOFR. We had variable-rate debt instruments representing 30% of our total long-term debt at December 31, 2023. We
currently do not have an interest rate hedge program to hedge our exposure to floating interest rates on our variable-rate debt obligations. Ifannual interest rates increase 100 basis points, based on our December 31, 2023 variable-rate debt and short-term investments balances,annual interest expense on variable-rate debt would increase by approximately $100 million and annual interest income on short-term
investments would increase by approximately $80 million. Additionally, the fair value of fixed-rate debt would have decreased byapproximately $700 million for AAG and $460 million for American.
In connection with the phase-out of LIBOR as a reference rate in June 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative
Reference Rates Committee, has chosen SOFR, and specifically Term SOFR, as the recommended risk-free reference rate for the U.S.
(calculated based on repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities). Prior to the discontinuation of LIBOR, we amended substantiallyall of our LIBOR-based financing arrangements to transition them to successor rates, primarily Term SOFR. We cannot predict the extent towhich Term SOFR will gain widespread acceptance as a replacement for LIBOR, the consequences of the replacement of LIBOR on financial
markets generally or on our business, financial condition or results of operations specifically, and our transition to successor rates could
cause the amount of interest payable on our long-term debt to be different or higher than expected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
American Airlines Group Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Airlines Group Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as ofDecember 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, andstockholders’ equity (deficit) for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, theconsolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in thethree-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), theCompany’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 21,
2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion onthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit toobtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or
fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements thatwas communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material tothe consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a
critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, bycommunicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures towhich it relates.
Sufficiency of audit evidence over the realizability of tax net operating loss and other carryforwards
As discussed in Notes 1(j) and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had $4.2 billion of tax net operating loss andother carryforwards, which are recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2023. Deferred tax assets are recognized related to tax
net operating loss and other carryforwards that will reduce future taxable income. The Company provides a valuation allowance fordeferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax assets, will not be realized. In evaluating
the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available positive and negative evidence.
We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and othercarryforwards as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence required subjective auditor judgment in order toassess the extent of procedures performed in assessing the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested theoperating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance process, including
controls related to the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards. We evaluated positive and negative
evidence used in assessing whether the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards were more likely than not to be realized in
the future. We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projections of future profitability considering historical profitability of theCompany, and consistency with industry data. We involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in
evaluating the application of tax law. We assessed the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over the realizability of the federal tax net
operating loss and other carryforwards by evaluating the cumulative results of the audit procedures.
/s/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(a) Basis of Presentation
American Airlines Group Inc. (we, us, our and similar terms, or AAG), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company whose primarybusiness activity is the operation of a major network air carrier, providing scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo through its
mainline operating subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc. (American) and its wholly-owned regional airline subsidiaries, Envoy Aviation Group
Inc., PSA Airlines, Inc. (PSA) and Piedmont Airlines, Inc. (Piedmont), that operate under the brand American Eagle. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant areas of judgment relate to passenger revenue recognition, the loyalty program, deferred tax assets, as well as pension
and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits.
(b) Government Assistance
Payroll Support Programs
During 2020 and 2021, American, Envoy Air Inc. (Envoy), Piedmont and PSA (together with American, Envoy and Piedmont, theSubsidiaries) entered into payroll support program agreements (PSP Agreements) with the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) pursuant
to the payroll support program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (PSP1), the payroll
support program established under the Subtitle A of Title IV of Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (PSP Extension Law)
(PSP2) and the payroll support program established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) (PSP3). The aggregate amount offinancial assistance received was approximately $12.8 billion, and as partial compensation to the U.S. Government for the provision offinancial assistance provided under each of these programs, AAG issued promissory notes and warrants to Treasury.
The table below provides a summary of the financial assistance received and the promissory notes and the warrants issued under eachprogram (in millions, except exercise price amounts):

The payroll support program warrants (PSP Warrants) are subject to certain anti-dilution provisions, do not have any voting rights and arefreely transferable, with registration rights. Each warrant expires on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, with expiration dates
ranging from April 2025 to June 2026, and will be exercisable either through net share settlement or cash, at our option. The warrants
were issued solely as compensation to the U.S. Government related to entry into the PSP Agreements. No separate proceeds (apartfrom the financial assistance described below) were received upon issuance of the warrants or will be received upon exercise thereof.

In connection with the PSP Agreements entered into with Treasury, we were required to comply with the relevant provisions of the CARES
Act, the PSP Extension Law, and the ARP, which included the requirement that funds provided pursuant to these programs be used
exclusively for the continuation of payment of eligible employee wages, salaries and benefits, the prohibition against involuntary furloughs
and reductions in employee pay rates and benefits, the requirement that certain levels of commercial air service be maintained, provisions
that prohibited the repurchase of AAG common stock and the payment of common stock dividends as well as provisions that restrict thepayment of certain executive compensation. As of December 31, 2023, all of these provisions have expired.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

For accounting purposes, the $12.8 billion of aggregate financial assistance received pursuant to the PSP Agreements was allocated tothe promissory notes, warrants and other financial assistance (PSP Financial Assistance). The aggregate principal amount of the promissory
notes was recorded as unsecured long-term debt and the total fair value of the warrants, estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model, was recorded in stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts were recognized in 2020 and 2021
as a credit to special items, net in the consolidated statements of operations over the period which the continuation of payment of eligible
employee wages, salaries and benefits was required.
Treasury Loan Agreement
On September 25, 2020 (the Treasury Loan Closing Date), AAG and American entered into a Loan and Guarantee Agreement (theTreasury Loan Agreement) with Treasury, which provided for a secured term loan facility (the Treasury Term Loan Facility) that permitted
American to borrow up to $5.5 billion. Subsequently, on October 21, 2020, AAG and American entered into an amendment to the Treasury
Loan Agreement which increased the borrowing amount up to $7.5 billion. In connection with entry into the Treasury Loan Agreement, on the
Treasury Loan Closing Date, AAG also entered into a warrant agreement (the Treasury Loan Warrant Agreement) with Treasury.
In September 2020, American borrowed $550 million under the Treasury Term Loan Facility and on March 24, 2021, used a portion of theproceeds from the AAdvantage Financing to prepay in full the $550 million of outstanding loans under the Treasury Term Loan Facility andterminated the Treasury Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Treasury Loan Agreement, AAG issued to Treasury warrants (Treasury Loan
Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 4.4 million shares of AAG common stock (the Treasury Loan Warrant Shares),which expire in September 2025. The exercise price of the Treasury Loan Warrant Shares is $12.51 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution
provisions provided for in the Treasury Loan Warrant Agreement. For accounting purposes, the fair value for the Treasury Loan Warrant
Shares, estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, was recorded in stockholders' deficit with an offsetting debt discount to theTreasury Term Loan Facility in the consolidated balance sheet. The provisions of the Treasury Loan Warrants are substantially similar to the
PSP Warrants.
(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment
expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will
impact our reportable segment disclosures.
ASU 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
This standard enhances transparency of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to therate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, as well as improvements to the effectiveness and comparability of other income tax
disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption ispermitted. We are currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will impact our income tax disclosures.
(d) Investments
Short-term investments primarily include debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Realized gains
and losses are recorded as interest income in nonoperating expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains andlosses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. For investments in an
unrealized loss position, we determine whether a credit loss exists by considering information about the collectability of the instrument,
current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. There have been no credit losses.
Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method if we are able to exercise significant influence over an investee. Equity
investments for which we do not have significant influence are recorded at fair value or at cost, if fair value is not readily determinable, withadjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the measurement alternative). Our share of equity method
investees’ financial results and changes in fair value are recorded in nonoperating other income (expense), net on the consolidated
statements of operations. See Note 8 for additional information related to our equity investments.

(e) Restricted Cash and Short-term Investments
We have restricted cash and short-term investments related primarily to collateral held to support workers’ compensation obligations andcollateral associated with the AAdvantage Financing.
(f) Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from credit card processing companies for tickets sold to individual passengers,
amounts due from airline and non-airline business partners, including our co-branded credit card partners and cargo customers. Receivablesfrom ticket sales are short-term, mostly settled within seven days after sale. Receivables from our business partners are typically settled
within 30 days. All accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses, which was not material as of December 31, 2023
and 2022. We consider past and future financial and qualitative factors, including aging, payment history and other credit monitoring
indicators, when establishing the allowance for credit losses.
(g) Aircraft Fuel, Spare Parts and Supplies, Net
Aircraft fuel is recorded on a first-in, first-out basis. Spare parts and supplies are recorded at average costs less an allowance forobsolescence, which is recognized over the weighted average remaining useful life of the related fleet. We also provide an allowance forspare parts and supplies identified as excess or obsolete to reduce the carrying cost to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Aircraft fuel,spare parts and supplies are expensed when used.
(h) Operating Property and Equipment
Operating property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized to residual values over the asset’s estimated usefullife or the lease term, whichever is less, using the straight-line method. Residual values for aircraft, engines and related rotable parts are
generally 5% to 10% of original cost. Costs of major improvements that enhance the usefulness of the asset are capitalized and depreciatedor amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is less. The estimated useful lives for the principal
property and equipment classifications are as follows:
Principal Property and Equipment Classification

Estimated Useful Life

Total mainline and regional depreciation and amortization expense was $2.3 billion for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022
and 2021.
We assess impairment of operating property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. An
impairment of an asset or group of assets exists only when the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated
directly by the assets are less than the carrying value of the assets. We group assets principally by fleet-type when estimating future cash
flows, which is generally the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Estimates of future cash flows are based on historical results
adjusted to reflect management’s best estimate of future market and operating conditions, including our current fleet plan. If such assets are
impaired, the impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair value. Fair value
reflects management’s best estimate including inputs from published pricing guides and bids from third parties as well as contracted sales
agreements when applicable.
(i) Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets,
current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included
in property and equipment, current maturities of long-term debt and finance leases and long-term debt and finance leases, net of current
maturities, on our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present
value of lease payments over the lease term.
89

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in
determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for
instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.
Our lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of
12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.
Under certain of our capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers, we do not own the underlying aircraft. However,since we control the marketing, scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories of these aircraft and therefore control the asset, the aircraft
is deemed to be leased for accounting purposes. For these capacity purchase agreements, we account for the lease and non-lease
components separately. The lease component consists of the aircraft and the non-lease components consist of services, such as the crew
and maintenance. Where applicable, we allocate the consideration in the capacity purchase agreements to the lease and non-lease
components using their estimated relative standalone prices. See Note 11(b) for additional information on our capacity purchase agreements.
For real estate, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and theirrespective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded net as noncurrent
deferred income taxes.
We provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of our deferred tax
assets, will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. We
consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
Many factors are considered that impact our assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond our control, such as thehealth of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. We have determined that positive factors
outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the2013 merger with US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways Group). We have one reporting unit. We assess goodwill for impairment annually or
more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be lower than the carrying value. Our annual
assessment date is October 1.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment by initially performing a qualitative assessment. If we determine that it is more likely than not that our
goodwill may be impaired, we use a quantitative approach to assess the asset’s fair value and the amount of the impairment, if any. Basedupon our annual assessment, there was no goodwill impairment in 2023. The carrying value of our goodwill on our consolidated balance
sheets was $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
(l) Other Intangibles, Net
Intangible assets consist primarily of certain domestic airport slots and gate leasehold rights, customer relationships, marketing
agreements, commercial agreements, international slots and route authorities and tradenames.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Definite-lived intangible assets are originally recorded at their acquired fair values, subsequently amortized over their respective estimateduseful lives and are assessed for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets include certain domestic airport slots, international slots and route authorities and our commercial
agreement with GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (GOL). We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more
frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets may be lower than their carrying values.
Our annual assessment date is October 1.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by initially performing a qualitative assessment. If we determine that it ismore likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired, we use a quantitative approach to assess the asset’s fairvalue and the amount of the impairment, if any. Based upon our annual assessment, there were no indefinite-lived intangible asset
impairments in 2023. We had $1.9 billion of indefinite-lived intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023
and 2022.

Passenger Revenue
We recognize all revenues generated from transportation on American and our regional flights operated under the brand name American
Eagle, including associated baggage fees and other inflight services, as passenger revenue when transportation is provided. Ticket and otherrelated sales for transportation that has not yet been provided are initially deferred and recorded as air traffic liability on our consolidatedbalance sheets. The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines.
The majority of tickets sold are nonrefundable. A small percentage of tickets, some of which are partially used tickets, expire unused. The
estimate for tickets expected to expire unused is generally based on an analysis of our historical data and other current applicable factors
such as policy changes. We have consistently applied this accounting method to estimate and recognize revenue from unused tickets at thedate of travel. This estimate is periodically evaluated based on subsequent activity to validate its accuracy. Any adjustments resulting fromperiodic evaluations of the estimated air traffic liability are included in passenger revenue during the period in which the evaluations arecompleted.
Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by us as an agent and remitted to taxing authorities.
These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and recorded as aliability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Loyalty Revenue
We currently operate the loyalty program, AAdvantage. This program awards mileage credits to passengers who fly on American, any
oneworld airline or other partner airlines, or by using the services of other program participants, such as our co-branded credit cards, andcertain hotels and car rental companies. Mileage credits can be redeemed for travel on American and other participating partner airlines, aswell as non-air travel awards such as hotels and rental cars. For mileage credits earned by AAdvantage program members, we apply thedeferred revenue method.
Mileage credits earned through travel
For mileage credits earned through travel, we apply a relative selling price approach whereby the total amount collected from eachpassenger ticket sale is allocated between the air transportation and the mileage credits earned. The portion of each passenger ticket sale
attributable to mileage credits earned is initially deferred and then recognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed andtransportation is provided. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is determined using an equivalent ticket value approach, which uses
historical data, including award redemption patterns by geographic region and class of service, as well as similar cash fares as those used tosettle award redemptions. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is adjusted for an estimate of mileage credits that will not be
redeemed using a statistical model based on historical redemption patterns to develop an estimate of the likelihood of future redemption.
Mileage credits sold to co-branded credit cards and other partners
We sell mileage credits to participating airline partners and non-airline business partners, including our co-branded credit card partners,
under contracts with remaining terms generally from one to six years as of December 31, 2023. Consideration received from the sale ofmileage credits is variable and payment terms typically are within 30 days subsequent to the month of mileage sale. Sales of mileage credits
to non-airline business partners are comprised of two components, transportation and marketing. We allocate the consideration received
from these sales of mileage credits based on the relative selling price of each product or service delivered.
Our most significant mileage credit partner agreements are our co-branded credit card agreements with Citi and Barclaycard US. We
identified two revenue elements in these co-branded credit card agreements: the transportation component and the marketing component.
The transportation component represents the estimated selling price of future travel awards and is determined using the same equivalentticket value approach described above. The portion of each mileage credit sold attributable to transportation is initially deferred and thenrecognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed and transportation is provided.
The marketing component includes the use of intellectual property, including the American brand and access to loyalty program member
lists, which is the predominant element in these agreements, as well as advertising and other travel-related benefits. We recognize themarketing component in other revenue in the period of the mileage credit sale following the sales-based royalty method.
For the portion of our outstanding mileage credits that we estimate will not be redeemed, we recognize the associated value proportionallyas the remaining mileage credits are redeemed. Our estimates use a statistical model based on historical redemption patterns to develop an
estimate of the likelihood of future redemption.
Cargo Revenue
Cargo revenue is recognized when we provide the transportation.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes revenue associated with our loyalty program, which is comprised principally of the marketing component of
mileage credit sales to co-branded credit card and other partners and other marketing related payments. The accounting and recognition forthe loyalty program marketing services are discussed above in “Loyalty Revenue.” The remaining amounts included within other revenue
relate to airport clubs, other commission revenue, advertising and vacation-related services.

Contract Balances
Our significant contract liabilities are comprised of (1) outstanding loyalty program mileage credits that may be redeemed for future traveland non-air travel awards, reported as loyalty program liability on our consolidated balance sheets and (2) ticket sales for transportation thathas not yet been provided, reported as air traffic liability on our consolidated balance sheets.

Principally relates to revenue recognized from the redemption of mileage credits for both air and non-air travel awards. Mileage credits
are combined in one homogenous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of mileage credits thatwere part of the loyalty program deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as well as mileage credits that were issued
during the period.

(2)

Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as that AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying
activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of December 31,
2023, our current loyalty program liability was $3.5 billion and represents our current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in
the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected to be recognized
as revenue in periods thereafter.

The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines. The balance in our air trafficliability also fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. Accordingly, any
revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within 12 months. For 2023, $5.3 billion of revenue was recognized inpassenger revenue that was included in our air traffic liability at December 31, 2022.
(n) Maintenance, Materials and Repairs
Maintenance and repair costs for owned and leased flight equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred, except costs incurred
for maintenance and repair under certain power-by-the-hour maintenance agreements, which are charged to operating expense based oncontractual terms when an obligation exists.
(o) Selling Expenses
Selling expenses include credit card fees, commissions, third party distribution channel fees and advertising. Selling expenses associatedwith passenger revenue are expensed when the transportation or service is provided. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising expense was $114 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $105 million for each of the years ended December 31,
2022 and 2021.

(p) Share-based Compensation
We account for our share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the stock award at the time of grant, which isrecognized ratably over the vesting period of the stock award. Certain awards have performance conditions that must be achieved prior tovesting and are expensed based on the expected achievement at each reporting period. The majority of our stock awards are time vested
restricted stock units, and the fair value of such awards is based on the market price of the underlying shares of AAG common stock on thedate of grant. See Note 14 for further discussion of share-based compensation.
(q) Foreign Currency Gains and Losses
Foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as part of other income (expense), net within total nonoperating expense, net on ourconsolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, foreign currency losses were
$30 million, $38 million and $4 million.
(r) Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses includes costs associated with onboard food and catering, crew travel, ground and cargo handling, passenger
accommodation, international navigation fees, aircraft cleaning, airport lounge operations and certain general and administrative expenses.
(s) Regional Expenses
Our regional carriers provide scheduled air transportation under the brand name “American Eagle.” The American Eagle carriers include
our wholly-owned regional carriers as well as third-party regional carriers. Our regional carrier arrangements are in the form of capacity
purchase agreements with our third-party regional partners and similar arrangements with our wholly-owned regional affiliates. Expenses
associated with American Eagle operations are classified as regional expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Regional expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 include $318 million, $321 million and $316 million ofdepreciation and amortization, respectively, and $7 million, $5 million and $6 million of aircraft rent, respectively.
In 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $636 million, $592 million and $495 million, respectively, of expense under our capacity purchaseagreement with Republic Airways Inc. (Republic). We hold a 25% equity interest in Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (Republic Holdings), theparent company of Republic.

In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or upon AAG’s issuance of a notice of redemption, AAG
will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or during therelated redemption period in certain circumstances by a specified number of shares of AAG common stock as described in the Convertible
Notes Indenture.
AAG did not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to July 5, 2023. On or after July 5, 2023 and on or before the 20thscheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, AAG may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, if the last reported
sale price of AAG common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (1) each of at least 20 trading days
(whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date
AAG sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date AAG sends such notice. In the case of any
optional redemption, AAG will redeem the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Convertible
Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

At December 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal amount. The last reported sale priceper share of our common stock (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) did not exceed 130% of the conversion price of theConvertible Notes for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on December 31, 2023. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of theConvertible Notes Indenture, the holders of the Convertible Notes cannot convert at their option at any time during the quarter ending March
31, 2024. Each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is convertible at a rate of 61.7284 shares of our common stock, subject toadjustment as provided in the Convertible Notes Indenture. We may settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares ofour common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

(g) Unsecured Senior Notes
3.75% Senior Notes
In February 2020, AAG issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due 2025 (the 3.75% Senior Notes). The
3.75% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears in March and September of each year,
which began in September 2020. The 3.75% Senior Notes mature in March 2025.
The 3.75% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AAG. These Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed byAmerican. The indentures for these Senior Notes contain covenants and events of default generally customary for similar financings.
Other Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased $552 million of secured and unsecured notes in the open market. In
connection with the repurchase of these secured and unsecured notes in the open market, American recorded $57 million of cash special
charges for premiums paid and $6 million of non-cash special charges to write off unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts.
Guarantees
As of December 31, 2023, AAG had issued guarantees covering approximately $17.5 billion of American’s secured debt (and interest
thereon), including the Credit Facilities, 2023 Term Loan Facility, the AAdvantage Financing, certain EETC financings and special facility
revenue bonds.
Certain Covenants
Our debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among
other things, may restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase stock. Our debt
agreements also contain customary change of control provisions, which may require us to repay or redeem such indebtedness upon certain
events constituting a change of control under the relevant agreement, in certain cases at a premium. Certain of our debt financing
agreements (including our secured notes, term loans, revolving credit facilities and spare engine EETCs) contain loan to value (LTV),
collateral coverage or peak debt service coverage ratio covenants and certain agreements require us to appraise the related collateralannually or semiannually. Pursuant to such agreements, if the applicable LTV, collateral coverage or peak debt service coverage ratio
exceeds or falls below a specified threshold, as the case may be, we will be required, as applicable, to pledge additional qualifying collateral(which in some cases may include cash or investment securities), withhold additional cash in certain accounts, or pay down such financing, inwhole or in part, or the interest rate for the relevant financing will be increased. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt financing
agreements contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents andamounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities, and our AAdvantage Financing contains a peak debt service coverage ratio,
pursuant to which failure to comply with a certain threshold may result in early repayment, in whole or in part, of the AAdvantage Financing.

5. Leases
We lease certain aircraft and engines, including aircraft under capacity purchase agreements. As of December 31, 2023, we operated 737
leased aircraft, including seven aircraft in temporary storage and 237 aircraft leased under capacity purchase agreements, with remaining
terms ranging from less than one year to 10 years.
At each airport where we conduct flight operations, we have agreements, generally with a governmental unit or authority, for the use ofpassenger, operations and baggage handling space as well as runways and taxiways. These agreements, particularly in the U.S., often
contain provisions for periodic adjustments to rates and charges applicable under such agreements. These rates and charges also vary with
our level of operations and the operations of the airport. Because of the variable nature of these rates, these leases are not recorded on ourconsolidated balance sheets as a ROU asset or a lease liability. Additionally, at our hub locations and in certain other cities we serve, welease administrative offices, catering, cargo, training, maintenance and other facilities.

At December 31, 2023, we had approximately $13.7 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $4.7 billion of othercarryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $3.4 billion will expire beginning in 2029 if unused and $15.0 billion
can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $5.5 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at
December 31, 2023, which will expire in taxable years 2023 through 2043 if unused.
Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. We provide a
valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, which include our NOLs, when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of ourdeferred tax assets, will not be realized. We consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions inevaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact our assessment of future profitability, including
conditions which are beyond our control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel
demand. We have determined that positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of our deferred tax
assets. There can be no assurance that an additional valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required. Such valuation
allowance could be material.
Our ability to deduct our NOL carryforwards and to utilize certain other available tax attributes can be substantially constrained under thegeneral annual limitation rules of Section 382 where an “ownership change” has occurred. Substantially all of our remaining federal NOL
carryforwards attributable to US Airways Group are subject to limitation under Section 382; however, our ability to utilize such NOL
carryforwards is not anticipated to be effectively constrained as a result of such limitation. Similar limitations may apply for state income tax
purposes. Our ability to utilize any new NOL carryforwards arising after the ownership changes is not affected by the annual limitation rules
imposed by Section 382 unless another ownership change occurs. Under the Section 382 limitation, cumulative stock ownership changes
among material stockholders exceeding 50% during a rolling three-year period can potentially limit our future use of NOLs and tax credits.
In 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $299 million, with an effective rate of approximately 27%, which was substantially noncash. Substantially all of our income before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

We file our tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our 2020 through 2022 tax years are still
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Various state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination, and weare under examination, in administrative appeals or engaged in tax litigation in certain jurisdictions. We believe that the effect of any
assessments will not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
The amount of, and changes to, our uncertain tax positions were not material in any of the years presented. We accrue interest andpenalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and operating expense, respectively.
7. Fair Value Measurements
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring BasisFair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) on themeasurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability. Accounting standards include disclosure requirements around fair values used for certain financial instruments and establish a fairvalue hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value
are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels:•

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;•

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own
assumptions.

When available, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our financial assets. If quoted market prices are not available,
we measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market
parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant
information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Our short-term investments, restricted cash andrestricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 utilize significant observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, forvaluation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses based on our current
estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. If our long-term debt was measured at fair value, it would
have been classified as Level 2 except for $3.7 billion as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which would have been classified
as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which would have been classified as Level 2, was $1.1 billion asof December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

9. Employee Benefit Plans
We sponsor defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans for eligible employees. The defined benefit pension plans provide
benefits for participating employees based on years of service and average compensation for a specified period of time before retirement.
Effective November 1, 2012, substantially all of our defined benefit pension plans were frozen and we began providing enhanced benefits
under our defined contribution pension plans for certain employee groups. We use a December 31 measurement date for all of our defined
benefit pension plans. We also provide certain retiree medical and other postretirement benefits, including health care and life insurance
benefits, to retired employees.

The weighted average health care cost trend rate at December 31, 2023 is assumed to decline gradually to 4.5% by 2033 and remainlevel thereafter.

As of December 31, 2023, our estimate of the long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.0% based on the target asset allocation.
Expected returns on long duration bonds are based on yields to maturity of the bonds held at year-end. Expected returns on other assets are
based on a combination of long-term historical returns, actual returns on plan assets achieved over the last 10 years, current and expectedmarket conditions, and expected value to be generated through active management and securities lending programs.

Minimum Contributions
We are required to make minimum contributions to our defined benefit pension plans under the minimum funding requirements of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and various other laws for U.S. based plans as well as underfunding rules
specific to countries where we maintain defined benefit pension plans. Based on current funding assumptions, we have minimum required
contributions of $284 million for 2024 including contributions to defined benefit pension plans for our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our future
funding obligations will depend on the performance of our investments held in a trust by the pension plans, interest rates for determining
funding targets, the amount of and timing of any supplemental contributions and our actuarial experience.

Plan Assets
The objectives of our investment policies are to: maintain sufficient income and liquidity to pay retirement benefits; produce a long-term
rate of return that meets or exceeds the assumed rate of return for plan assets; limit the volatility of asset performance and funded status;and diversify assets among asset classes and investment managers.
Based on these investment objectives, a long-term strategic asset allocation has been established. This strategic allocation seeks tobalance the potential benefit of improving the funded position with the potential risk that the funded position would decline. The current
strategic target asset allocation with the corresponding allowed range is as follows:

Public equity investments are intended to provide a real return over a full market cycle and, therefore, to contribute to the pension plan’slong-term objective. Public fixed income investments are intended to provide income to the plan and offer the potential for long term capital
appreciation. Private investments, such as private equity and private income, are used to provide higher expected returns than publicmarkets over the long-term by assuming reduced levels of liquidity and higher levels of risk. The pension plan’s master trust participates insecurities lending programs to generate additional income by loaning plan assets to borrowers on a fully collateralized basis. The pension
plan’s master trust will also engage in derivative instruments to equitize residual levels of cash as well as hedge the pension plan’s exposure
to interest rates. Such programs are subject to market risk and counterparty risk.

Investments in securities traded on recognized securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the year. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price. Investments in limited partnerships are carried at
estimated net asset value (NAV) as determined by and reported by the general partners of the partnerships and represent the proportionate
share of the estimated fair value of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships. Mutual funds are valued once daily through a NAV
calculation provided at the end of each trade day. Common/collective trusts are valued at NAV based on the fair values of the underlying
investments of the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the year.

Common collective trusts include commingled funds primarily invested in equity securities. For some trusts, requests for withdrawals
must meet specific requirements with advance notice of redemption preferred.

(7)

Private investments include limited partnerships that invest primarily in domestic private equity and private income opportunities. The
pension plan’s master trust does not have the right to redeem its limited partnership investment at its NAV, but rather receives
distributions as the underlying assets are liquidated. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be gradually liquidated
over the next 10 years. As of December 31, 2023, the pension plan’s master trust has future funding commitments to these limited
partnerships of approximately $1.3 billion, most of which are expected to be called over the next five years.

Plan assets in the retiree medical and other postretirement benefits plans are primarily Level 2 mutual funds valued by quoted prices on
the active market, which is fair value, and represents the NAV of the shares of such funds as of the close of business at the end of the period.
NAV is based on the fair market value of the funds’ underlying assets and liabilities at the date of determination.
Defined Contribution and Multiemployer Plans
The costs associated with our defined contribution plans were $1.1 billion, $949 million and $920 million for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We participate in the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) National Pension Fund, Employer Identification
No. 51-6031295 and Plan No. 002 (the IAM Pension Fund). Our contributions to the IAM Pension Fund were $52 million, $46 million and $43
million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The IAM Pension Fund reported $533 million in employers’
contributions for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is the most recent year for which such information is available. For 2022, ourcontributions represented more than 5% of total contributions to the IAM Pension Fund.
On March 29, 2019, the actuary for the IAM Pension Fund certified that the fund was in “endangered” status despite reporting a funded
status of over 80%. Additionally, the IAM Pension Fund’s Board voluntarily elected to enter into “critical” status on April 17, 2019. Upon entry
into critical status, the IAM Pension Fund was required by law to adopt a rehabilitation plan aimed at restoring the financial health of thepension plan and did so on April 17, 2019 (the Rehabilitation Plan). Under the Rehabilitation Plan, we were subject to an immaterial
contribution surcharge, which ceased to apply June 14, 2019 upon our mandatory adoption of a contribution schedule under the
Rehabilitation Plan. The contribution schedule requires 2.5% annual increases to our contribution rate. This contribution schedule will remainin effect through the earlier of December 31, 2031 or the date the IAM Pension Fund emerges from critical status.
Profit Sharing Program
We accrue a percentage of our pre-tax income excluding net special items for our profit sharing program. For the year ended
December 31, 2023, we accrued $261 million for this program, which will be distributed to employees in the first quarter of 2024.

These amounts are net of purchase deposits currently held by the manufacturers. Our purchase deposits held by all manufacturers

Due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of delivery of certain aircraft, the amounts in the table represent our most current estimatebased on contractual delivery schedules adjusted for updates and revisions to such schedules communicated to management by theapplicable equipment manufacturer. However, the actual delivery schedule may differ, potentially materially, based on various potential
factors including production delays by the manufacturer and regulatory concerns.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

Additionally, the amounts in the table exclude five Boeing 787 Family aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2024, for which we haveobtained committed lease financing. See Note 5 for information regarding this operating lease commitment.
Additionally, we have other purchase commitments primarily related to aircraft fuel, flight equipment maintenance and information
technology support as follows (approximately): $4.7 billion in 2024, $2.0 billion in 2025, $1.4 billion in 2026, $150 million in 2027, $124 million
in 2028 and $843 million in 2029 and thereafter. These amounts exclude obligations under certain fuel offtake agreements or otheragreements for which the timing of the related expenditure is uncertain, or which are subject to material contingencies, such as theconstruction of a production facility.
(b) Capacity Purchase Agreements with Third-Party Regional Carriers
American has capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers. The capacity purchase agreements provide that all
revenues, including passenger, in-flight, ancillary, mail and freight revenues, go to American. American controls marketing, scheduling,ticketing, pricing and seat inventories. In return, American agrees to pay predetermined fees to these airlines for operating an agreed-upon
number of aircraft, without regard to the number of passengers on board. In addition, these agreements provide that American either
reimburses or pays 100% of certain variable costs, such as airport landing fees, fuel and passenger liability insurance.
As of December 31, 2023, American’s capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers had expiration dates ranging from2024 to 2032, with rights of American to extend the respective terms of certain agreements.
As of December 31, 2023, American’s minimum obligations under its capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers are
expected to be as follows (approximately, in millions):

(c) Airport Redevelopment
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

From time to time, airports engage in construction projects, often substantial, that result in new or improved facilities that are ultimately
funded through increases in the rent and other occupancy costs payable by airlines operating at the airport. Unlike this construction andfunding model, we are managing a project at LAX where we have legal title to the assets during construction. In 2018, we executed a leaseagreement with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which owns and operates LAX, in connection with a $1.6 billion modernization project
related to LAX Terminals 4 and 5. Construction, which started in October 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2028, will occur in aphased approach. The modernization project will include a unified departure hall to the entranceway of Terminals 4 and 5, reconfigured ticket
counter and check-in areas with seamless access to security screening areas, 10 new security screening lanes with automated technology inaddition to the existing Terminal 5 lanes, and a new Terminal 4 South concourse with more open and upgraded amenities at gate areas. The
project will also include renovated break rooms, multi-use meeting rooms and team gathering spaces throughout the terminals to support ourteam members at LAX.
As each phase is completed and ready for use, the assets will be sold and transferred to LAWA, including the site improvements and othernon-proprietary improvements. As we control the assets during construction, they are recognized on our consolidated balance sheets within
operating property and equipment until the assets are sold and transferred to LAWA. As of December 31, 2023, we have incurred $862
million in costs relating to the LAX modernization project, of which $283 million were incurred in 2023. Cash paid for non-proprietary
improvements are included within other investing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, as of December 31,
2023, we have sold and transferred $346 million of non-proprietary improvements to LAWA, of which $170 million occurred during 2023. For
non-proprietary improvements which are not yet ready for use, any cash payments received from LAWA will be reflected as a financial liability
included within noncurrent other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and reflected as other120

financing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2023, $53 million of cash proceeds received for nonproprietary improvements were not yet ready for use, and therefore have not been sold and transferred back to LAWA.
(d) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pass-Through Trusts
American currently has 308 owned aircraft and 60 owned spare aircraft engines, which in each case were financed with EETCs issued bypass-through trusts. These trusts are off-balance sheet entities, the primary purpose of which is to finance the acquisition of flight equipment
or to permit issuance of debt backed by existing flight equipment. In the case of aircraft EETCs, rather than finance each aircraft separately
when such aircraft is purchased, delivered or refinanced, these trusts allow American to raise the financing for a number of aircraft at one
time and, if applicable, place such funds in escrow pending a future purchase, delivery or refinancing of the relevant aircraft. Similarly, in thecase of the spare engine EETCs, the trusts allow American to use its existing pool of spare engines to raise financing under a single facility.
The trusts have also been structured to provide for certain credit enhancements, such as liquidity facilities to cover certain interest payments,that reduce the risks to the purchasers of the trust certificates and, as a result, reduce the cost of aircraft financing to American.
Each trust covers a set number of aircraft or spare engines scheduled to be delivered, financed or refinanced upon the issuance of the
EETC or within a specific period of time thereafter. At the time of each covered aircraft or spare engine financing, the relevant trust used theproceeds from the issuance of the EETC (which may have been available at the time of issuance thereof or held in escrow until financing of
the applicable aircraft following its delivery) to purchase equipment notes relating to the financed aircraft or engines. The equipment notes
are issued, at American’s election, in connection with a mortgage financing of the aircraft or spare engines. The equipment notes are secured
by a security interest in the aircraft or engines, as applicable. The pass-through trust certificates are not direct obligations of, nor are theyguaranteed by, AAG or American. However, the equipment notes issued to the trusts are direct obligations of American and, in certain
instances, have been guaranteed by AAG. As of December 31, 2023, $7.7 billion associated with these mortgage financings is reflected as
debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Letters of Credit and Other
We provide financial assurance, such as letters of credit and surety bonds, primarily to support projected workers’ compensation
obligations and airport commitments. As of December 31, 2023, we had $318 million of letters of credit and surety bonds securing various
obligations, of which $94 million is collateralized with our restricted cash. The letters of credit and surety bonds that are subject to expiration
will expire on various dates through 2028.
(e) Legal Proceedings
Government Antitrust Action Related to the Northeast Alliance. On September 21, 2021, the United States Department of Justice, joinedby Attorneys General from six states and the District of Columbia, filed an antitrust complaint against American and JetBlue Airways
Corporation (JetBlue) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that American and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law
in connection with the previously disclosed Northeast Alliance arrangement (NEA).
On May 19, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued an order permanently enjoining American and JetBlue
from continuing and further implementing the NEA. In June 2023, JetBlue delivered a notice of termination of the NEA, effective July 29,
2023, and the carriers have commenced wind-down activities to accommodate mutual customers. Following written submissions by theparties and a hearing on July 26, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered a Final Judgment and Order Entering
Permanent Injunction on July 28, 2023. The parties are complying with the terms of the Final Judgment and Order Entering Permanent
Injunction, including winding down activities related to the NEA. American filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First
Circuit on September 25, 2023, and American’s opening brief was filed on December 6, 2023.
Private Party Antitrust Actions Related to the Northeast Alliance. On December 5, 2022 and December 7, 2022, two private party plaintiffs
filed putative class action antitrust complaints against American and JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York
alleging that American and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law in connection with the previously disclosed NEA. These actions wereconsolidated on January 10, 2023. The private party plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on February 3, 2023. On February 2,
2023 and February 15, 2023, private party plaintiffs filed two additional putative class action antitrust complaints against American and
JetBlue in the U.S. District
121

Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, respectively. In March 2023, American
filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts case asking to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of New York and consolidate it with the cases pending in that venue. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
granted that motion. The remaining cases were consolidated with the other actions in the Eastern District of New York. In June 2023, theprivate party plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, followed by a third amended complaint filed in August 2023. In
September 2023, American, together with JetBlue, filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint, and that motion remains pending.
We believe these lawsuits are without merit and are defending against them vigorously.
General. In addition to the specifically identified legal proceedings, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in other legal proceedings
from time to time. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome
depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. Therefore, although we will vigorously defend ourselves ineach of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on
us are uncertain but could be material.
(f) Guarantees and Indemnifications
We are party to many routine contracts in which we provide general indemnities in the normal course of business to third parties forvarious risks. We are not able to estimate the potential amount of any liability resulting from the indemnities. These indemnities are discussed
in the following paragraphs.
In our aircraft financing agreements, we generally indemnify the financing parties, trustees acting on their behalf and other relevant parties
against liabilities (including certain taxes) resulting from the financing, manufacture, design, ownership, operation and maintenance of theaircraft regardless of whether these liabilities (including certain taxes) relate to the negligence of the indemnified parties.
Our loan agreements and certain other financing transactions may obligate us to reimburse the applicable lender for incremental costs
due to a change in law that imposes (i) any reserve or special deposit requirement against assets of, deposits with or credit extended by suchlender related to the loan, (ii) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the loan (except standard income tax) or (iii) capital adequacy
requirements. In addition, our loan agreements and other financing arrangements typically contain a withholding tax provision that requires us
to pay additional amounts to the applicable lender or other financing party, generally if withholding taxes are imposed on such lender or otherfinancing party as a result of a change in the applicable tax law.
In certain transactions, including certain aircraft financing leases and loans, the lessors, lenders and/or other parties have rights toterminate the transaction based on changes in foreign tax law, illegality or certain other events or circumstances. In such a case, we may berequired to make a lump sum payment to terminate the relevant transaction.
We have general indemnity clauses in many of our airport and other real estate leases where we as lessee indemnify the lessor (andrelated parties) against liabilities related to our use of the leased property. Generally, these indemnifications cover liabilities resulting from thenegligence of the indemnified parties, but not liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified parties. In
addition, we provide environmental indemnities in many of these leases for contamination related to our use of the leased property.
Under certain contracts with third parties, we indemnify the third-party against legal liability arising out of an action by the third-party, or
certain other parties. The terms of these contracts vary and the potential exposure under these indemnities cannot be determined. We haveliability insurance protecting us from some of the obligations we have undertaken under these indemnities.
American is required to make principal and interest payments for certain special facility revenue bonds issued by municipalities primarily tobuild or improve airport facilities and purchase equipment, which are leased to American. The payment of principal and interest of certain
special facility revenue bonds is guaranteed by AAG. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining lease payments through 2035 guaranteeing
the principal and interest on these bonds are $520 million and the current carrying amount of the associated operating lease liability in theaccompanying consolidated balance sheet is $321 million.
As of December 31, 2023, AAG had issued guarantees covering approximately $17.5 billion of American’s secured debt (and interest
thereon), including the Credit Facilities, 2023 Term Loan Facility, the AAdvantage Financing, certain EETC financings and special facility
revenue bonds.

(g) Credit Card Processing Agreements
We have agreements with companies that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services. Our
agreements allow these credit card processing companies, under certain conditions, to hold an amount of our cash (referred to as aholdback) equal to all or a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that company, but for which we have not yet provided
the air transportation. These holdback requirements can be implemented at the discretion of the credit card processing companies upon theoccurrence of specific events, including material adverse changes in our financial condition or the triggering of a liquidity covenant. Thesecredit card processing companies are not currently entitled to maintain any holdbacks. The imposition of holdback requirements would
reduce our liquidity.
(h) Labor Contracts
In May 2023, American and the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing our mainline pilots, reached an agreement in principle ona new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which was ratified in August 2023. This four-year agreement provides wage rate increases,
including an initial wage rate increase of 21% effective as of January 1, 2023, quality-of-life benefits and other benefit-related items. The
additional compensation for the 2023 period prior to contract ratification as a result of the higher wage rates was recorded within salaries,
wages and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations in the second and third quarters of 2023. The agreement also included a
provision for a one-time payment upon ratification. In 2023, one-time charges resulting from the ratification of this new agreement wererecorded as mainline operating special items, net in the consolidated statement of operations, including the one-time payment of $754 million
as well as adjustments to other benefit-related items of $235 million. The one-time payment and the additional compensation were principally
paid in 2023, with remaining payments expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 132,100 active full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, of which 28,900 were
employed by our wholly-owned regional subsidiaries. Of the total active FTE employees, 87% are covered by CBAs with various labor unions
and 34% are covered by CBAs that are currently amendable or that will become amendable within one year. In January 2024, mainline
passenger service employees represented by the CWA-IBT ratified a new five-year agreement. The CBA covering our flight attendants is
now amendable. The CBAs covering certain employee groups at our wholly-owned regional subsidiaries are also amendable.

13. Operating Segments and Related Disclosures
We are managed as a single business unit that provides air transportation for passengers and cargo. This allows us to benefit from an
integrated revenue pricing and route network that includes American and our wholly-owned and third-party regional carriers that fly undercapacity purchase agreements operating as American Eagle. The flight equipment of all these carriers is combined to form one fleet that is
deployed through a single route scheduling system. Financial information and annual operational plans and forecasts are prepared andreviewed by the chief operating decision maker at the consolidated level. When making operational decisions, the chief operating decision
maker evaluates flight profitability data, which considers aircraft type and route economics, but is indifferent to the results of the individual
regional carriers. The objective in making operational decisions is to maximize consolidated financial results, not the individual results ofAmerican or American Eagle.
See Note 1(m) for our passenger revenue by geographic region. Our tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which aremobile across geographic markets and, therefore, have not been allocated.
14. Share-based Compensation
In May 2023, the stockholders of AAG approved the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the 2023 Plan). The 2023 Plan replaces and supersedes
AAG’s 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the 2013 Plan). No further awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan; however, the terms and conditionsof the 2013 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder. The 2023 Plan provides that an award may be in theform of a stock option, including an incentive stock option and nonqualified stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted
stock unit, performance bonus award, performance stock unit, other stock or cash-based award and dividend equivalent to eligible
individuals.
The 2023 Plan authorizes the grant of awards for the issuance of 17.2 million shares less any shares granted under the 2013 Plan after
March 22, 2023, the date the Board of Directors of AAG approved the 2023 Plan. Any shares underlying awards granted under the 2023 Plan
or 2013 Plan that are forfeited, terminate or are settled in cash (in whole or in part) without the delivery of shares will again be available for
grant under the 2023 Plan.
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $102 million, $78 million and $98 million, respectively, of sharebased compensation costs principally in salaries, wages and benefits expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
During 2023, 2022 and 2021, we withheld approximately 1.5 million, 1.2 million and 1.0 million shares of AAG common stock, respectively,
and paid approximately $23 million, $21 million and $18 million, respectively, in satisfaction of certain tax withholding obligations associatedwith employee equity awards.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (RSUs)
We have granted RSUs with service conditions (time vested primarily over three years) and performance conditions. The grant-date fairvalue of these RSUs is equal to the market price of the underlying shares of AAG common stock on the date of grant. For time vested
awards, the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. For awards with performance
conditions, the expense is recognized based on the expected achievement at each reporting period. RSUs are classified as equity awards as
the vesting results in the issuance of shares of AAG common stock.

ITEM 8B. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholder and Board of Directors
American Airlines, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Airlines, Inc. and subsidiaries (American) as of December 31,
2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and stockholder’s equity foreach of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American asof December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
American’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 21,
2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of American’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of American’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion onthese consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to
be independent with respect to American in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit toobtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or
fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements thatwas communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material tothe consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a
critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, bycommunicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures towhich it relates.
Sufficiency of audit evidence over the realizability of tax net operating loss and other carryforwards
As discussed in Notes 1(j) and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, American had $4.0 billion of tax net operating loss and othercarryforwards, which are recorded as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2023. Deferred tax assets are recognized related to tax net
operating loss and other carryforwards that will reduce future taxable income. American provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax assets, will not be realized. In evaluating the need for avaluation allowance, management considers all available positive and negative evidence.
We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and othercarryforwards as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence required subjective auditor judgment in order toassess the extent of procedures performed in assessing the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested theoperating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to American’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance process, including
controls related to the realizability of the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards. We evaluated positive and negative
evidence used in assessing whether the federal tax net operating loss and other carryforwards were more likely than not to be realized in
the future. We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projections of future profitability considering historical profitability ofAmerican, and consistency with industry data. We involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in
evaluating the application of tax law. We assessed the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over the realizability of the federal tax net
operating loss and other carryforwards by evaluating the cumulative results of the audit procedures.

We have served as American’s auditor since 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(a) Basis of Presentation
American Airlines, Inc. (American) is a Delaware corporation whose primary business activity is the operation of a major network air
carrier, providing scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo. American is the principal wholly-owned subsidiary of American
Airlines Group Inc. (AAG), which owns all of American’s outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant areas of judgment relate to passenger revenue recognition, the loyalty program, deferred tax assets, as well as pension
and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits.
(b) Government Assistance
Payroll Support Programs
During 2020 and 2021, American, Envoy Air Inc. (Envoy), Piedmont Airlines, Inc. (Piedmont) and PSA Airlines, Inc. (PSA and together
with American, Envoy and Piedmont, the Subsidiaries) entered into payroll support program agreements (PSP Agreements) with the U.S.
Department of Treasury (Treasury) pursuant to the payroll support program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) (PSP1), the payroll support program established under the Subtitle A of Title IV of Division N of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (PSP Extension Law) (PSP2) and the payroll support program established under the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 (ARP) (PSP3). The aggregate amount of financial assistance received was approximately $12.8 billion, and as partial compensation to
the U.S. Government for the provision of financial assistance provided under each of these programs, AAG issued promissory notes andwarrants to Treasury.
The table below provides a summary of the financial assistance received and the promissory notes and the warrants issued under eachprogram (in millions, except exercise price amounts):

As partial compensation to the U.S. Government for the provision of financial assistance under the PSP Agreements, AAG issued
promissory notes to Treasury (PSP1 Promissory Note, PSP2 Promissory Note and PSP3 Promissory Note, collectively the PSP
Promissory Notes), in the aggregate principal sum of $3.7 billion which provides for the guarantee of AAG’s obligations under the PSP
Promissory Notes by the Subsidiaries.

(2)

The payroll support program warrants (PSP Warrants) are subject to certain anti-dilution provisions, do not have any voting rights and arefreely transferable, with registration rights. Each warrant expires on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, with expiration dates
ranging from April 2025 to June 2026, and will be exercisable either through net share settlement or cash, at AAG’s option. The warrants
were issued solely as compensation to the U.S. Government related to entry into the PSP Agreements. No separate proceeds (apartfrom the financial assistance described below) were received upon issuance of the warrants or will be received upon exercise thereof.

In connection with the PSP Agreements entered into with Treasury, AAG and the Subsidiaries were required to comply with the relevant
provisions of the CARES Act, the PSP Extension Law, and the ARP, which included the requirement that funds provided pursuant to these
programs be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of eligible employee wages, salaries and benefits, the prohibition against
involuntary furloughs and reductions in employee pay rates and benefits, the requirement that certain levels of commercial air service bemaintained, provisions that prohibited the133Table of Contents

repurchase of AAG common stock and the payment of common stock dividends as well as provisions that restrict the payment of certain
executive compensation. As of December 31, 2023, all of these provisions have expired.
For accounting purposes, the $12.8 billion of aggregate financial assistance received pursuant to the PSP Agreements was allocated tothe promissory notes, warrants and other financial assistance (PSP Financial Assistance). The aggregate principal amount of the promissory
notes was recorded as unsecured long-term debt and the total fair value of the warrants, estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model, was recorded in stockholders’ deficit in AAG’s consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts were recognized in 2020 and
2021 as a credit to special items, net in the consolidated statements of operations over the period which the continuation of payment ofeligible employee wages, salaries and benefits was required.
Treasury Loan Agreement
On September 25, 2020 (the Treasury Loan Closing Date), AAG and American entered into a Loan and Guarantee Agreement (theTreasury Loan Agreement) with Treasury, which provided for a secured term loan facility (the Treasury Term Loan Facility) that permitted
American to borrow up to $5.5 billion. Subsequently, on October 21, 2020, AAG and American entered into an amendment to the Treasury
Loan Agreement which increased the borrowing amount up to $7.5 billion. In connection with AAG’s entry into the Treasury Loan Agreement,on the Treasury Loan Closing Date, AAG also entered into a warrant agreement (the Treasury Loan Warrant Agreement) with Treasury.
In September 2020, American borrowed $550 million under the Treasury Term Loan Facility and on March 24, 2021, used a portion of theproceeds from the AAdvantage Financing to prepay in full the $550 million of outstanding loans under the Treasury Term Loan Facility andterminated the Treasury Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Treasury Loan Agreement, AAG issued to Treasury warrants (Treasury Loan
Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 4.4 million shares of AAG common stock (the Treasury Loan Warrant Shares),which expire in September 2025. The exercise price of the Treasury Loan Warrant Shares is $12.51 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution
provisions provided for in the Treasury Loan Warrant Agreement. For accounting purposes, the fair value for the Treasury Loan Warrant
Shares, estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, was recorded in stockholders' deficit in AAG’s consolidated balance sheetwith an offsetting debt discount to the Treasury Term Loan Facility in American’s consolidated balance sheet. The provisions of the Treasury
Loan Warrants are substantially similar to the PSP Warrants.
(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment
expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. American is currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard
will impact its reportable segment disclosures.
ASU 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
This standard enhances transparency of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to therate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, as well as improvements to the effectiveness and comparability of other income tax
disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption ispermitted. American is currently evaluating how the adoption of this standard will impact its income tax disclosures.
(d) Investments
Short-term investments primarily include debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Realized gains
and losses are recorded as interest income in nonoperating expense, net on American’s consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized
gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on American’s consolidated balance sheets. For
investments in an unrealized loss position, American determines whether a credit loss exists by considering information about thecollectability of the instrument, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. There have been
no credit losses.
134

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

Equity investments are accounted for under the equity method if American is able to exercise significant influence over an investee. Equity
investments for which American does not have significant influence are recorded at fair value or at cost, if fair value is not readily
determinable, with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the measurement alternative). American’s
share of equity method investees’ financial results and changes in fair value are recorded in nonoperating other income (expense), net on the
consolidated statements of operations. See Note 7 for additional information related to American’s equity investments.
(e) Restricted Cash and Short-term Investments
American has restricted cash and short-term investments related primarily to collateral held to support workers’ compensation obligations
and collateral associated with the AAdvantage Financing.
(f) Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from credit card processing companies for tickets sold to individual passengers,
amounts due from airline and non-airline business partners, including American’s co-branded credit card partners and cargo customers.
Receivables from ticket sales are short-term, mostly settled within seven days after sale. Receivables from American’s business partners are
typically settled within 30 days. All accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses, which was not material as ofDecember 31, 2023 and 2022. American considers past and future financial and qualitative factors, including aging, payment history andother credit monitoring indicators, when establishing the allowance for credit losses.
(g) Aircraft Fuel, Spare Parts and Supplies, Net
Aircraft fuel is recorded on a first-in, first-out basis. Spare parts and supplies are recorded at average costs less an allowance forobsolescence, which is recognized over the weighted average remaining useful life of the related fleet. American also provides an allowance
for spare parts and supplies identified as excess or obsolete to reduce the carrying cost to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Aircraft
fuel, spare parts and supplies are expensed when used.
(h) Operating Property and Equipment
Operating property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized to residual values over the asset’s estimated usefullife or the lease term, whichever is less, using the straight-line method. Residual values for aircraft, engines and related rotable parts are
generally 5% to 10% of original cost. Costs of major improvements that enhance the usefulness of the asset are capitalized and depreciatedor amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is less. The estimated useful lives for the principal
property and equipment classifications are as follows:
Principal Property and Equipment Classification

Estimated Useful Life

Aircraft, engines and related rotable parts
Buildings and improvements
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment
Capitalized software

20 – 30 years
5 – 30 years
3 – 15 years
5 – 10 years

Total mainline and regional depreciation and amortization expense was $2.2 billion for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and2022 and $2.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.
American assesses impairment of operating property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be
impaired. An impairment of an asset or group of assets exists only when the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to begenerated directly by the assets are less than the carrying value of the assets. American groups assets principally by fleet-type whenestimating future cash flows, which is generally the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Estimates of future cash flows are
based on historical results adjusted to reflect management’s best estimate of future market and operating conditions, including American’s
current fleet plan. If such assets are impaired, the impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets
exceed their fair value. Fair value reflects management’s best estimate including inputs from published pricing guides and bids from third
parties as well as contracted sales agreements when applicable.

(i) Leases
American determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU)
assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on American’s consolidated balance sheets. Financeleases are included in property and equipment, current maturities of long-term debt and finance leases and long-term debt and financeleases, net of current maturities, on American’s consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent American’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to makelease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimatedpresent value of lease payments over the lease term.
American uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in
determining the present value of lease payments. American gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available datafor instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rates.
American’s lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Leases with aterm of 12 months or less are not recorded on its consolidated balance sheets.
Under certain of American’s capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers, American does not own the underlying
aircraft. However, since American controls the marketing, scheduling, ticketing, pricing and seat inventories of these aircraft and therefore
control the asset, the aircraft is deemed to be leased for accounting purposes. For these capacity purchase agreements, American accounts
for the lease and non-lease components separately. The lease component consists of the aircraft and the non-lease components consist ofservices, such as the crew and maintenance. Where applicable, American allocates the consideration in the capacity purchase agreements
to the lease and non-lease components using their estimated relative standalone prices. See Note 10(b) for additional information on its
capacity purchase agreements.
For real estate, American accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and theirrespective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded net as noncurrent
deferred income taxes.
American provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred
tax assets, will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
American considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of its deferred
tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact American’s assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond its
control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. American has determinedthat positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of its deferred tax assets.
(k) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the2013 merger with US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways Group). American has one reporting unit. American assesses goodwill for impairment
annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be lower than the carrying value.
American’s annual assessment date is October 1.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment by initially performing a qualitative assessment. If American determines that it is more likely than notthat its goodwill may be impaired, it uses a quantitative approach to assess the asset’s fair value and the amount of the impairment, if any.
Based upon American’s annual assessment, there was no goodwill impairment in 2023. The carrying value of American’s goodwill on its
consolidated balance sheets was $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(l) Other Intangibles, Net
Intangible assets consist primarily of certain domestic airport slots and gate leasehold rights, customer relationships, marketing
agreements, commercial agreements, international slots and route authorities and tradenames.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Definite-lived intangible assets are originally recorded at their acquired fair values, subsequently amortized over their respective estimateduseful lives and are assessed for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.

Certain domestic airport slots and airport gate leasehold rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years. Certain marketing
agreements were identified as intangible assets subject to amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately 30
years. Customer relationships and tradenames are fully amortized.
American recorded amortization expense related to these intangible assets of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $41
million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. American expects to record annual amortization expense for these

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets include certain domestic airport slots, international slots and route authorities and American’s commercial
agreement with GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (GOL). American assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or
more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets may be lower than their carrying
values. American’s annual assessment date is October 1.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by initially performing a qualitative assessment. If American determines that
it is more likely than not that its indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired, American uses a quantitative approach to assess theasset’s fair value and the amount of the impairment, if any. Based upon American’s annual assessment, there were no indefinite-lived
intangible asset impairments in 2023. American had $1.9 billion of indefinite-lived intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheets as ofDecember 31, 2023 and 2022.

American attributes passenger revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment.
Passenger Revenue
American recognizes all revenues generated from transportation on American and its regional flights operated under the brand nameAmerican Eagle, including associated baggage fees and other inflight services, as passenger revenue when transportation is provided. Ticket
and other related sales for transportation that has not yet been provided are initially deferred and recorded as air traffic liability on American’s
consolidated balance sheets. The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines.
The majority of tickets sold are nonrefundable. A small percentage of tickets, some of which are partially used tickets, expire unused. The
estimate for tickets expected to expire unused is generally based on an analysis of American’s historical data and other current applicablefactors such as policy changes. American has consistently applied this accounting method to estimate and recognize revenue from unusedtickets at the date of travel. This estimate is periodically evaluated based on subsequent activity to validate its accuracy. Any adjustments
resulting from periodic evaluations of the estimated air traffic liability are included in passenger revenue during the period in which theevaluations are completed.
Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by American as an agent and remitted to taxing
authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations andrecorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Loyalty Revenue
American currently operates the loyalty program, AAdvantage. This program awards mileage credits to passengers who fly on American,
any oneworld airline or other partner airlines, or by using the services of other program participants, such as American’s co-branded credit
cards, and certain hotels and car rental companies. Mileage credits can be redeemed for travel on American and other participating partner
airlines, as well as non-air travel awards such as hotels and rental cars. For mileage credits earned by AAdvantage program members,
American applies the deferred revenue method.
Mileage credits earned through travel
For mileage credits earned through travel, American applies a relative selling price approach whereby the total amount collected fromeach passenger ticket sale is allocated between the air transportation and the mileage credits earned. The portion of each passenger ticket
sale attributable to mileage credits earned is initially deferred and then recognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed
and transportation is provided. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is determined using an equivalent ticket value approach, whichuses historical data, including award redemption patterns by geographic region and class of service, as well as similar cash fares as thoseused to settle award redemptions. The estimated selling price of mileage credits is adjusted for an estimate of mileage credits that will not be
redeemed using a statistical model based on historical redemption patterns to develop an estimate of the likelihood of future redemption.
Mileage credits sold to co-branded credit cards and other partners
American sells mileage credits to participating airline partners and non-airline business partners, including American’s co-branded credit
card partners, under contracts with remaining terms generally from one to six years as of December 31, 2023. Consideration received fromthe sale of mileage credits is variable and payment terms typically are within 30 days subsequent to the month of mileage sale. Sales of
mileage credits to non-airline business partners are comprised of two components, transportation and marketing. American allocates theconsideration received from these sales of mileage credits based on the relative selling price of each product or service delivered.
American’s most significant mileage credit partner agreements are its co-branded credit card agreements with Citi and Barclaycard US.
American identified two revenue elements in these co-branded credit card agreements: the transportation component and the marketing
component.
The transportation component represents the estimated selling price of future travel awards and is determined using the same equivalentticket value approach described above. The portion of each mileage credit sold attributable to transportation is initially deferred and thenrecognized in passenger revenue when mileage credits are redeemed and transportation is provided.
The marketing component includes the use of intellectual property, including the American brand and access to loyalty program member
lists, which is the predominant element in these agreements, as well as advertising and other travel-related benefits. American recognizes
the marketing component in other revenue in the period of the mileage credit sale following the sales-based royalty method.
For the portion of American’s outstanding mileage credits that it estimates will not be redeemed, American recognizes the associatedvalue proportionally as the remaining mileage credits are redeemed. American’s estimates use a statistical model based on historicalredemption patterns to develop an estimate of the likelihood of future redemption.
Cargo Revenue
Cargo revenue is recognized when American provides the transportation.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes revenue associated with American’s loyalty program, which is comprised principally of the marketing componentof mileage credit sales to co-branded credit card and other partners and other marketing related payments. The accounting and recognition
for the loyalty program marketing services are discussed above in “Loyalty Revenue.” The remaining amounts included within other revenue
relate to airport clubs, other commission revenue, advertising and vacation-related services.

Contract Balances
American’s significant contract liabilities are comprised of (1) outstanding loyalty program mileage credits that may be redeemed for future
travel and non-air travel awards, reported as loyalty program liability on American’s consolidated balance sheets and (2) ticket sales fortransportation that has not yet been provided, reported as air traffic liability on American’s consolidated balance sheets.

Principally relates to revenue recognized from the redemption of mileage credits for both air and non-air travel awards. Mileage credits
are combined in one homogenous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of mileage credits thatwere part of the loyalty program deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as well as mileage credits that were issued
during the period.

(2)

Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as that AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying
activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of December 31,
2023, American’s current loyalty program liability was $3.5 billion and represents American’s current estimate of revenue expected to berecognized in the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected tobe recognized as revenue in periods thereafter.

The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines. The balance in American’s air
traffic liability also fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. Accordingly, any
revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within 12 months. For 2023, $5.3 billion of revenue was recognized inpassenger revenue that was included in American’s air traffic liability at December 31, 2022.
(n) Maintenance, Materials and Repairs
Maintenance and repair costs for owned and leased flight equipment are charged to operating expense as incurred, except costs incurred
for maintenance and repair under certain power-by-the-hour maintenance agreements, which are charged to operating expense based oncontractual terms when an obligation exists.
(o) Selling Expenses
Selling expenses include credit card fees, commissions, third party distribution channel fees and advertising. Selling expenses associatedwith passenger revenue are expensed when the transportation or service is provided. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising expense was $114 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $105 million for each of the years ended December 31,
2022 and 2021.

(p) Share-based Compensation
American accounts for its share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the stock award at the time of grant, which isrecognized ratably over the vesting period of the stock award. Certain awards have performance conditions that must be achieved prior tovesting and are expensed based on the expected achievement at each reporting period. The majority of American’s stock awards are timevested restricted stock units, and the fair value of such awards is based on the market price of the underlying shares of AAG common stockon the date of grant. See Note 13 for further discussion of share-based compensation.
(q) Foreign Currency Gains and Losses
Foreign currency gains and losses are recorded as part of other income (expense), net within total nonoperating expense, net on
American’s consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, foreign currency
losses were $30 million, $38 million and $4 million.
(r) Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses includes costs associated with onboard food and catering, crew travel, ground and cargo handling, passenger
accommodation, international navigation fees, aircraft cleaning, airport lounge operations and certain general and administrative expenses.
(s) Regional Expenses
American's regional carriers provide scheduled air transportation under the brand name “American Eagle.” The American Eagle carriers
include AAG's wholly-owned regional carriers as well as third-party regional carriers. American's regional carrier arrangements are in theform of capacity purchase agreements with its third-party regional partners and similar arrangements with AAG’s wholly-owned regional
affiliates. Expenses associated with American Eagle operations are classified as regional expenses on the consolidated statements ofoperations.
Regional expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 include $271 million, $269 million and $263 million ofdepreciation and amortization, respectively, and $7 million, $5 million and $6 million of aircraft rent, respectively.
In 2023, 2022 and 2021, American recognized $636 million, $592 million and $495 million, respectively, of expense under its capacity
purchase agreement with Republic Airways Inc. (Republic). American holds a 25% equity interest in Republic Airways Holdings Inc.
(Republic Holdings), the parent company of Republic.

accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
The scheduled maturity date of the AAdvantage Loans under the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility is April 20, 2028. The outstanding
principal on the AAdvantage Loans will be repaid in quarterly installments of $175 million, on each AAdvantage Payment Date, which began
in July 2023. These amortization payments (as well as those for the AAdvantage Notes) will be subject to the occurrence of certain early
amortization events, including the failure to satisfy a minimum debt service coverage ratio at specified determination dates.
Prepayment of some or all of the AAdvantage Loans outstanding under the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility is permitted, although
payment of an applicable premium is required as specified in the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility.
The AAdvantage Indenture and the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility contain mandatory prepayment provisions triggered upon (i) theissuance or incurrence by Loyalty Issuer or the SPV Guarantors of certain indebtedness or (ii) the receipt by American or its subsidiaries ofnet proceeds from pre-paid frequent flyer (i.e., AAdvantage) mile sales exceeding $505 million. Each of these prepayments would also
require payment of an applicable premium. Certain other events, including the occurrence of a change of control with respect to AAG andcertain AAdvantage Collateral sales exceeding a specified threshold, will also trigger mandatory repurchase or mandatory prepayment
provisions under the AAdvantage Indenture and the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility, respectively.

In June 2023, American and AAdvantage Loyalty IP Ltd. entered into the First Amendment to the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility pursuant
to which the benchmark interest rate transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR, effective July 1, 2023. As a result, the AAdvantage Term Loan
Facility bears interest at a base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 3.75% or, at American’s option, the SOFR rate
for a tenor of three months, plus a 0.26161% credit spread adjustment (with such SOFR rate plus SOFR adjustment being subject to a floorof 0.75%) and an applicable margin of 4.75%. As of December 31, 2023, the margin elected was 4.75%. Other than the foregoing, the termsof the AAdvantage Term Loan Facility remain substantially unchanged.
(d) Equipment Loans and Other Notes Payable Issued in 2023
In 2023, American entered into agreements under which it borrowed $1.1 billion in connection with the financing of certain aircraft. Debt
incurred under these agreements matures in 2032 through 2035 and bears interest at fixed and variable rates (comprised of SOFR plus anapplicable margin) averaging 7.15% as of December 31, 2023.
Other Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, American repurchased $539 million of secured notes in the open market. In connection withthe repurchase of these secured notes in the open market, American recorded $57 million of cash special charges for premiums paid and$6 million of non-cash special charges to write off unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts.
Guarantees
As of December 31, 2023, American had issued guarantees covering AAG’s $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of the PSP1
Promissory Note due April 2030, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the PSP2 Promissory Note due January 2031, $959 million
aggregate principal amount of the PSP3 Promissory Note due April 2031, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% convertible seniornotes due July 2025 and $487 million of 3.75% senior notes due March 2025.
Certain CovenantsAmerican’s debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that,among other things, may restrict the ability of American to incur additional indebtedness. American’s debt agreements also containcustomary change of control provisions, which may require it to repay or redeem such indebtedness upon certain events constituting achange of control under the relevant agreement, in certain cases at a premium. Certain of American’s debt financing agreements (including
its secured notes, term loans, revolving credit facilities and spare engine EETCs) contain loan to value (LTV), collateral coverage or peakdebt service coverage ratio covenants and certain agreements require American to appraise the related collateral annually or semiannually.
Pursuant to such agreements, if the applicable LTV, collateral coverage or peak debt service coverage ratio exceeds or falls below a
specified threshold, as the case may be, American will be required, as applicable, to pledge additional qualifying collateral (which in somecases may include cash or investment securities), withhold additional cash in certain accounts, or pay down such financing, in whole or inpart, or the interest rate for the relevant financing will be increased. Additionally, a significant portion of American’s debt financing agreements
contain covenants requiring it to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts
available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities, and its AAdvantage Financing contains a peak debt service coverage ratio, pursuant towhich failure to comply with a certain threshold may result in early repayment, in whole or in part, of the AAdvantage Financing.

4. Leases
American leases certain aircraft and engines, including aircraft under capacity purchase agreements. As of December 31, 2023, American
operated 737 leased aircraft, including seven aircraft in temporary storage and 237 aircraft leased under capacity purchase agreements, withremaining terms ranging from less than one year to 10 years.
At each airport where American conducts flight operations, American has agreements, generally with a governmental unit or authority, for
the use of passenger, operations and baggage handling space as well as runways and taxiways. These agreements, particularly in the U.S.,
often contain provisions for periodic adjustments to rates and charges applicable under such agreements. These rates and charges also varywith American’s level of operations and the operations of the airport. Because of the variable nature of these rates, these leases are notrecorded on American’s consolidated balance sheets as a ROU asset or a lease liability. Additionally, at American’s hub locations and incertain other cities it serves, American leases administrative offices, catering, cargo, training, maintenance and other facilities.
The components of lease expense were as follows (in millions):

At December 31, 2023, American had approximately $13.7 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $3.6 billion of othercarryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $3.8 billion will expire beginning in 2033 if unused and $13.5 billion
can be carried forward indefinitely. American is a member of AAG’s consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns. American also
had approximately $5.3 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2023, which will expire in taxable
years 2023 through 2043 if unused.
American’s ability to use its NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods.
American provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, when it is more likely than not that some
portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will not be realized. American considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes
certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact American’s assessmentof future profitability, including conditions which are beyond its control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility ofaircraft fuel and travel demand. American has determined that positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of therealizability of its deferred tax assets. There can be no assurance that an additional valuation allowance on American’s net deferred tax
assets will not be required. Such valuation allowance could be material.
American’s ability to deduct its NOL carryforwards and to utilize certain other available tax attributes can be substantially constrained
under the general annual limitation rules of Section 382 where an “ownership change” has occurred. Substantially all of American’s remaining
federal NOL carryforwards attributable to US Airways Group are subject to limitation under Section 382; however, American’s ability to utilize
such NOL carryforwards is not anticipated to be effectively constrained as a result of such limitation. Similar limitations may apply for state
income tax purposes. American’s ability to utilize any new NOL carryforwards arising after the ownership changes is not affected by theannual limitation rules imposed by Section 382 unless another ownership change occurs. Under the Section 382 limitation, cumulative stock
ownership changes among material stockholders exceeding 50% during a rolling three-year period can potentially limit American’s future useof NOLs and tax credits.
In 2023, American recorded an income tax provision of $394 million, with an effective rate of approximately 25%, which was substantiallynon-cash. Substantially all of American’s income before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

American files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. American’s 2020 through 2022 tax
years are still subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Various state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to
examination, and American is under examination, in administrative appeals or engaged in tax litigation in certain jurisdictions. American
believes that the effect of any assessments will not be material to its consolidated financial statements.
The amount of, and changes to, American’s uncertain tax positions were not material in any of the years presented. American accrues
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and operating expense, respectively.
6. Fair Value Measurements
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring BasisFair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) on themeasurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability. Accounting standards include disclosure requirements around fair values used for certain financial instruments and establish a fairvalue hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value
are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels:•

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;•

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own
assumptions.

When available, American uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of its financial assets. If quoted market prices are notavailable, American measures fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced
market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
American utilizes the market approach to measure the fair value of its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and otherrelevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. American’s short-term investments, restrictedcash and restricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 utilize significant observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active
markets, for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):

The weighted average health care cost trend rate at December 31, 2023 is assumed to decline gradually to 4.5% by 2033 and remainlevel thereafter.

As of December 31, 2023, American’s estimate of the long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.0% based on the target asset
allocation. Expected returns on long duration bonds are based on yields to maturity of the bonds held at year-end. Expected returns on otherassets are based on a combination of long-term historical returns, actual returns on plan assets achieved over the last 10 years, current andexpected market conditions, and expected value to be generated through active management and securities lending programs.

Minimum Contributions
American is required to make minimum contributions to its defined benefit pension plans under the minimum funding requirements of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and various other laws for U.S. based plans as well as underfunding rules
specific to countries where American maintains defined benefit pension plans. Based on current funding assumptions, American has
minimum required contributions of $280 million for 2024. American’s future funding obligations will depend on the performance of American’s
investments held in a trust by the pension plans, interest rates for determining funding targets, the amount of and timing of any supplemental
contributions and American’s actuarial experience.

Plan Assets
The objectives of American’s investment policies are to: maintain sufficient income and liquidity to pay retirement benefits; produce a longterm rate of return that meets or exceeds the assumed rate of return for plan assets; limit the volatility of asset performance and funded
status; and diversify assets among asset classes and investment managers.
Based on these investment objectives, a long-term strategic asset allocation has been established. This strategic allocation seeks tobalance the potential benefit of improving the funded position with the potential risk that the funded position would decline. The current
strategic target asset allocation with the corresponding allowed range is as follows:

Public equity investments are intended to provide a real return over a full market cycle and, therefore, to contribute to the pension plan’slong-term objective. Public fixed income investments are intended to provide income to the plan and offer the potential for long term capital
appreciation. Private investments, such as private equity and private income, are used to provide higher expected returns than publicmarkets over the long-term by assuming reduced levels of liquidity and higher levels of risk. The pension plan’s master trust participates insecurities lending programs to generate additional income by loaning plan assets to borrowers on a fully collateralized basis. The pension
plan’s master trust will also engage in derivative instruments to equitize residual levels of cash as well as hedge the pension plan’s exposure
to interest rates. Such programs are subject to market risk and counterparty risk.

Investments in securities traded on recognized securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the year. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price. Investments in limited partnerships are carried at
estimated net asset value (NAV) as determined by and reported by the general partners of the partnerships and represent the proportionate
share of the estimated fair value of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships. Mutual funds are valued once daily through a NAV
calculation provided at the end of each trade day. Common/collective trusts are valued at NAV based on the fair values of the underlying
investments of the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the year.

(7)

Private investments include limited partnerships that invest primarily in domestic private equity and private income opportunities. The
pension plan’s master trust does not have the right to redeem its limited partnership investment at its NAV, but rather receives
distributions as the underlying assets are liquidated. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be gradually liquidated
over the next 10 years. As of December 31, 2023, the pension plan’s master trust has future funding commitments to these limited
partnerships of approximately $1.3 billion, most of which are expected to be called over the next five years.

Plan assets in the retiree medical and other postretirement benefits plans are primarily Level 2 mutual funds valued by quoted prices on
the active market, which is fair value, and represents the NAV of the shares of such funds as of the close of business at the end of the period.
NAV is based on the fair market value of the funds’ underlying assets and liabilities at the date of determination.
Defined Contribution and Multiemployer Plans
The costs associated with American’s defined contribution plans were $1.1 billion, $916 million and $893 million for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
American participates in the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) National Pension Fund, Employer
Identification No. 51-6031295 and Plan No. 002 (the IAM Pension Fund). American’s contributions to the IAM Pension Fund were $52 million,$46 million and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The IAM Pension Fund reported $533
million in employers’ contributions for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is the most recent year for which such information isavailable. For 2022, American’s contributions represented more than 5% of total contributions to the IAM Pension Fund.
On March 29, 2019, the actuary for the IAM Pension Fund certified that the fund was in “endangered” status despite reporting a funded
status of over 80%. Additionally, the IAM Pension Fund’s Board voluntarily elected to enter into “critical” status on April 17, 2019. Upon entry
into critical status, the IAM Pension Fund was required by law to adopt a rehabilitation plan aimed at restoring the financial health of thepension plan and did so on April 17, 2019 (the Rehabilitation Plan). Under the Rehabilitation Plan, American was subject to an immaterial
contribution surcharge, which ceased to apply June 14, 2019 upon American’s mandatory adoption of a contribution schedule under the
Rehabilitation Plan. The contribution schedule requires 2.5% annual increases to its contribution rate. This contribution schedule will remainin effect through the earlier of December 31, 2031 or the date the IAM Pension Fund emerges from critical status.
Profit Sharing Program
American accrues a percentage of its pre-tax income excluding net special items for its profit sharing program. For the year ended
December 31, 2023, American accrued $261 million for this program, which will be distributed to employees in the first quarter of 2024.

These amounts are net of purchase deposits currently held by the manufacturers. American’s purchase deposits held by all
manufacturers totaled $760 million and $613 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of delivery of certain aircraft, the amounts in the table represent American’s most current
estimate based on contractual delivery schedules adjusted for updates and revisions to such schedules communicated to managementby the applicable equipment manufacturer. However, the actual delivery schedule may differ, potentially materially, based on various
potential factors including production delays by the manufacturer and regulatory concerns.
Additionally, the amounts in the table exclude five Boeing 787 Family aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2024, for which American has
obtained committed lease financing. See Note 4 for information regarding this operating lease commitment.

Additionally, American has other purchase commitments primarily related to aircraft fuel, flight equipment maintenance and information
technology support as follows (approximately): $4.7 billion in 2024, $2.0 billion in 2025, $1.4 billion in 2026, $150 million in 2027, $124 million
in 2028 and $843 million in 2029 and thereafter. These amounts exclude obligations under certain fuel offtake agreements or otheragreements for which the timing of the related expenditure is uncertain, or which are subject to material contingencies, such as theconstruction of a production facility.
(b) Capacity Purchase Agreements with Third-Party Regional Carriers
American has capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers. The capacity purchase agreements provide that all
revenues, including passenger, in-flight, ancillary, mail and freight revenues, go to American. American controls marketing, scheduling,ticketing, pricing and seat inventories. In return, American agrees to pay predetermined fees to these airlines for operating an agreed-upon
number of aircraft, without regard to the number of passengers on board. In addition, these agreements provide that American either
reimburses or pays 100% of certain variable costs, such as airport landing fees, fuel and passenger liability insurance.
As of December 31, 2023, American’s capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional carriers had expiration dates ranging from2024 to 2032, with rights of American to extend the respective terms of certain agreements.

(c) Airport Redevelopment
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

From time to time, airports engage in construction projects, often substantial, that result in new or improved facilities that are ultimately
funded through increases in the rent and other occupancy costs payable by airlines operating at the airport. Unlike this construction andfunding model, American is managing a project at LAX where it has legal title to the assets during construction. In 2018, American executeda lease agreement with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which owns and operates LAX, in connection with a $1.6 billion modernization
project related to LAX Terminals 4 and 5. Construction, which started in October 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2028, will occur ina phased approach. The modernization project will include a unified departure hall to the entranceway of Terminals 4 and 5, reconfigured
ticket counter and check-in areas with seamless access to security screening areas, 10 new security screening lanes with automatedtechnology in addition to the existing Terminal 5 lanes, and a new Terminal 4 South concourse with more open and upgraded amenities atgate areas. The project will also include renovated break rooms, multi-use meeting rooms and team gathering spaces throughout theterminals to support American’s team members at LAX.
As each phase is completed and ready for use, the assets will be sold and transferred to LAWA, including the site improvements and othernon-proprietary improvements. As American controls the assets during construction, they are recognized on its consolidated balance sheets
within operating property and equipment until the assets are sold and transferred to LAWA. As of December 31, 2023, American has incurred$862 million in costs relating to the LAX modernization project, of which $283 million were incurred in 2023. Cash paid for non-proprietary
improvements are included within other investing activities on American’s consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, as ofDecember 31, 2023, American has sold and transferred $346 million of non-proprietary improvements to LAWA, of which $170 million
occurred during 2023. For non-proprietary improvements which are not yet ready for use, any cash payments received from LAWA will bereflected as a financial liability included within noncurrent other liabilities on American’s consolidated balance sheets and reflected as otherfinancing activities on its consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2023, $53 million of cash proceeds received for nonproprietary improvements were not yet ready for use, and therefore have not been sold and transferred back to LAWA.
(d) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pass-Through Trusts
American currently has 308 owned aircraft and 60 owned spare aircraft engines, which in each case were financed with EETCs issued bypass-through trusts. These trusts are off-balance sheet entities, the primary purpose of which is to finance the acquisition of flight equipment
or to permit issuance of debt backed by existing flight equipment. In the case of aircraft EETCs, rather than finance each aircraft separately
when such aircraft is purchased, delivered or refinanced, these trusts allow American to raise the financing for a number of aircraft at one
time and, if applicable, place such funds in escrow pending a future purchase, delivery or refinancing of the relevant aircraft. Similarly, in thecase of the spare engine EETCs, the trusts allow American to use its existing pool of spare engines to raise financing under a single facility.
The trusts have also been structured to provide for certain credit enhancements, such as liquidity facilities to cover certain interest payments,that reduce the risks to the purchasers of the trust certificates and, as a result, reduce the cost of aircraft financing to American.
Each trust covers a set number of aircraft or spare engines scheduled to be delivered, financed or refinanced upon the issuance of the
EETC or within a specific period of time thereafter. At the time of each covered aircraft or spare engine financing, the relevant trust used theproceeds from the issuance of the EETC (which may have been available at the time163

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

of issuance thereof or held in escrow until financing of the applicable aircraft following its delivery) to purchase equipment notes relating to
the financed aircraft or engines. The equipment notes are issued, at American’s election, in connection with a mortgage financing of theaircraft or spare engines. The equipment notes are secured by a security interest in the aircraft or engines, as applicable. The pass-throughtrust certificates are not direct obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, AAG or American. However, the equipment notes issued to thetrusts are direct obligations of American and, in certain instances, have been guaranteed by AAG. As of December 31, 2023, $7.7 billion
associated with these mortgage financings is reflected as debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Letters of Credit and Other
American provides financial assurance, such as letters of credit and surety bonds, primarily to support projected workers’ compensation
obligations and airport commitments. As of December 31, 2023, American had $318 million of letters of credit and surety bonds securing
various obligations, of which $94 million is collateralized with American’s restricted cash. The letters of credit and surety bonds that are
subject to expiration will expire on various dates through 2028.
(e) Legal Proceedings
Government Antitrust Action Related to the Northeast Alliance. On September 21, 2021, the United States Department of Justice, joinedby Attorneys General from six states and the District of Columbia, filed an antitrust complaint against American and JetBlue Airways
Corporation (JetBlue) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that American and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law
in connection with the previously disclosed Northeast Alliance arrangement (NEA).
On May 19, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued an order permanently enjoining American and JetBlue
from continuing and further implementing the NEA. In June 2023, JetBlue delivered a notice of termination of the NEA, effective July 29,
2023, and the carriers have commenced wind-down activities to accommodate mutual customers. Following written submissions by theparties and a hearing on July 26, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered a Final Judgment and Order Entering
Permanent Injunction on July 28, 2023. The parties are complying with the terms of the Final Judgment and Order Entering Permanent
Injunction, including winding down activities related to the NEA. American filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First
Circuit on September 25, 2023, and American’s opening brief was filed on December 6, 2023.
Private Party Antitrust Actions Related to the Northeast Alliance. On December 5, 2022 and December 7, 2022, two private party plaintiffs
filed putative class action antitrust complaints against American and JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York
alleging that American and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law in connection with the previously disclosed NEA. These actions wereconsolidated on January 10, 2023. The private party plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on February 3, 2023. On February 2,
2023 and February 15, 2023, private party plaintiffs filed two additional putative class action antitrust complaints against American and
JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York,
respectively. In March 2023, American filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts case asking to transfer thecase to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and consolidate it with the cases pending in that venue. The U.S. District
Court for the District of Massachusetts granted that motion. The remaining cases were consolidated with the other actions in the Eastern
District of New York. In June 2023, the private party plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, followed by a third amended
complaint filed in August 2023. In September 2023, American, together with JetBlue, filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint,
and that motion remains pending. American believes these lawsuits are without merit and is defending against them vigorously.
General. In addition to the specifically identified legal proceedings, American and its subsidiaries are also engaged in other legal
proceedings from time to time. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final
outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within American’s control. Therefore, although American will vigorously
defend itself in each of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial andother impacts on American are uncertain but could be material.

(f) Guarantees and Indemnifications
American is a party to many routine contracts in which it provides general indemnities in the normal course of business to third parties forvarious risks. American is not able to estimate the potential amount of any liability resulting from the indemnities. These indemnities are
discussed in the following paragraphs.
In its aircraft financing agreements, American generally indemnifies the financing parties, trustees acting on their behalf and other relevant
parties against liabilities (including certain taxes) resulting from the financing, manufacture, design, ownership, operation and maintenance of
the aircraft regardless of whether these liabilities (including certain taxes) relate to the negligence of the indemnified parties.
American’s loan agreements and certain other financing transactions may obligate American to reimburse the applicable lender forincremental costs due to a change in law that imposes (i) any reserve or special deposit requirement against assets of, deposits with or credit
extended by such lender related to the loan, (ii) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the loan (except standard income tax) or(iii) capital adequacy requirements. In addition, American’s loan agreements and other financing arrangements typically contain a withholding
tax provision that requires American to pay additional amounts to the applicable lender or other financing party, generally if withholding taxes
are imposed on such lender or other financing party as a result of a change in the applicable tax law.
In certain transactions, including certain aircraft financing leases and loans, the lessors, lenders and/or other parties have rights toterminate the transaction based on changes in foreign tax law, illegality or certain other events or circumstances. In such a case, American
may be required to make a lump sum payment to terminate the relevant transaction.
American has general indemnity clauses in many of its airport and other real estate leases where American as lessee indemnifies thelessor (and related parties) against liabilities related to American’s use of the leased property. Generally, these indemnifications coverliabilities resulting from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but not liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the indemnified parties. In addition, American provides environmental indemnities in many of these leases for contamination related toAmerican’s use of the leased property.
Under certain contracts with third parties, American indemnifies the third-party against legal liability arising out of an action by the thirdparty, or certain other parties. The terms of these contracts vary and the potential exposure under these indemnities cannot be determined.
American has liability insurance protecting American from some of the obligations it has undertaken under these indemnities.
American is required to make principal and interest payments for certain special facility revenue bonds issued by municipalities primarily tobuild or improve airport facilities and purchase equipment, which are leased to American. The payment of principal and interest of certain
special facility revenue bonds is guaranteed by American. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining lease payments through 2035
guaranteeing the principal and interest on these bonds are $520 million and the current carrying amount of the associated operating leaseliability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is $321 million.
As of December 31, 2023, American had issued guarantees covering AAG’s $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of the PSP1
Promissory Note due April 2030, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the PSP2 Promissory Note due January 2031, $959 million
aggregate principal amount of the PSP3 Promissory Note due April 2031, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% convertible seniornotes due July 2025 and $487 million of 3.75% senior notes due March 2025.
(g) Credit Card Processing Agreements
American has agreements with companies that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services.
American’s agreements allow these credit card processing companies, under certain conditions, to hold an amount of its cash (referred to asa holdback) equal to all or a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that company, but for which American has not yet
provided the air transportation. These holdback requirements can be implemented at the discretion of the credit card processing companies
upon the occurrence of specific events, including material adverse changes in American’s financial condition or the triggering of a liquidity
covenant. These credit card processing companies are not currently entitled to maintain any holdbacks. The imposition of holdback
requirements would reduce American’s liquidity.

(h) Labor Contracts
In May 2023, American and the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing American’s mainline pilots, reached an agreement inprinciple on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which was ratified in August 2023. This four-year agreement provides wage rateincreases, including an initial wage rate increase of 21% effective as of January 1, 2023, quality-of-life benefits and other benefit-related
items. The additional compensation for the 2023 period prior to contract ratification as a result of the higher wage rates was recorded withinsalaries, wages and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations in the second and third quarters of 2023. The agreement also
included a provision for a one-time payment upon ratification. In 2023, one-time charges resulting from the ratification of this new agreement
were recorded as mainline operating special items, net in the consolidated statement of operations, including the one-time payment of$754 million as well as adjustments to other benefit-related items of $235 million. The one-time payment and the additional compensation
were principally paid in 2023, with remaining payments expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, American employed approximately 103,200 active full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Of the total active FTE
employees, 87% are covered by CBAs with various labor unions and 38% are covered by CBAs that are currently amendable or that will
become amendable within one year. In January 2024, mainline passenger service employees represented by the CWA-IBT ratified a new
five-year agreement. The CBA covering American’s flight attendants is now amendable.

12. Operating Segments and Related Disclosures
American is managed as a single business unit that provides air transportation for passengers and cargo. This allows it to benefit from an
integrated revenue pricing and route network that includes American and AAG’s wholly-owned and third-party regional carriers that fly undercapacity purchase agreements operating as American Eagle. The flight equipment of all these carriers is combined to form one fleet that is
deployed through a single route scheduling system. Financial information and annual operational plans and forecasts are prepared andreviewed by the chief operating decision maker at the consolidated level. When making operational decisions, the chief operating decision
maker evaluates flight profitability data, which considers aircraft type and route economics, but is indifferent to the results of the individual
regional carriers. The objective in making operational decisions is to maximize consolidated financial results, not the individual results ofAmerican or American Eagle.
See Note 1(m) for American’s passenger revenue by geographic region. American’s tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment,
which are mobile across geographic markets and, therefore, have not been allocated.

13. Share-based Compensation
In May 2023, the stockholders of AAG approved the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the 2023 Plan). The 2023 Plan replaces and supersedes
AAG’s 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the 2013 Plan). No further awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan; however, the terms and conditionsof the 2013 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder. The 2023 Plan provides that an award may be in theform of a stock option, including an incentive stock option and nonqualified stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted
stock unit, performance bonus award, performance stock unit, other stock or cash-based award and dividend equivalent to eligible
individuals.
The 2023 Plan authorizes the grant of awards for the issuance of 17.2 million shares less any shares granted under the 2013 Plan after
March 22, 2023, the date the Board of Directors of AAG approved the 2023 Plan. Any shares underlying awards granted under the 2023 Plan
or 2013 Plan that are forfeited, terminate or are settled in cash (in whole or in part) without the delivery of shares will again be available for
grant under the 2023 Plan.
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, American recorded $97 million, $75 million and $95 million, respectively, ofshare-based compensation costs principally in salaries, wages and benefits expense on its consolidated statements of operations.
During 2023, 2022 and 2021, AAG withheld approximately 1.5 million, 1.2 million and 1.0 million shares of AAG common stock,
respectively, and paid approximately $23 million, $21 million and $18 million, respectively, in satisfaction of certain tax withholding obligations
associated with employee equity awards.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (RSUs)
AAG has granted RSUs with service conditions (time vested primarily over three years) and performance conditions. The grant-date fairvalue of these RSUs is equal to the market price of the underlying shares of AAG common stock on the date of grant. For time vested
awards, the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. For awards with performance
conditions, the expense is recognized based on the expected achievement at each reporting period. RSUs are classified as equity awards as
the vesting results in the issuance of shares of AAG common stock.
RSU award activity for all plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESManagement’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation of the effectiveness of AAG’s and American’s disclosure controls and procedures as ofDecember 31, 2023 was performed under the supervision and with the participation of AAG’s and American’s management, including AAG’sand American’s principal executive officer, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and principal financial officer, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Based on that evaluation, AAG’s and American’s management, including AAG’s and American’s CEO and CFO, concluded that AAG’s andAmerican’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, there have been no changes in AAG’s or American’s internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, AAG’s and American’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Limitation on the Effectiveness of Controls
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of
the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance ofachieving their objectives, and, as noted above, the CEO and CFO of AAG and American believe that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2023.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of AAG and American is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. AAG’s and American’s internal control over financial reporting is designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with GAAP. AAG’s and American’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:•pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of theassets of AAG or American, respectively;•

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements inaccordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of AAG or American are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of management and directors of AAG or American, respectively; and•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of AAG’s orAmerican’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections ofany evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of AAG’s and American’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In
making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in its Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).
169

Table of Contents

Based on our assessment and those criteria, AAG’s and American’s management concludes that AAG and American, respectively,
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.
AAG’s and American’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of AAG’s andAmerican’s internal control over financial reporting. That report has been included herein.

or licensor during Executive’s employment with the Company.
3. Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Sections 1 or 2, a court or other governing body shall hold that thelimitations as to time, geographic area or scope of activity stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing,Executive agrees that the maximum limitations as to time, geographic area or scope of activity that are reasonable under suchcircumstances shall be substituted for the stated limitations and that the court or other governing body shall reform the restrictions
contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions
contained in Sections 1 and 2 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s confidential information,
goodwill and other legitimate business interests. Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of the provisionsof Sections 1 or 2 would cause the Company irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its
favor, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court ofcompetent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or othersecurity). Further, in the event of an alleged breach or violation of Section 1 or 2 by Executive, the Noncompete Period or NonSolicit Period, as applicable, shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured and the Noncompete Period or
Non-Solicit Period, as applicable, shall be extended by the period of time during which Executive was in breach of the restrictive
covenants. The parties agree that because the Company is based in Texas and this Restrictive Covenants Agreement was
negotiated, entered into and is performable in whole or in part in Texas, the laws of the State of Texas shall govern thisRestrictive Covenants Agreement.

No Restriction on Earning a Living. By Executive’s entrance into the Severance Agreement and this Restrictive
Covenants Agreement, Executive hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Restrictive Covenants Agreement do notpreclude Executive from earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Executive’s ability to earn a living.
In addition, Executive hereby acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company of non-enforcement of this Restrictive
Covenants Agreement outweighs any harm to Executive of enforcement (by injunction or otherwise) of this Restrictive
Covenants Agreement against Executive.
5.
Breach. If at any time before or after the date Executive’s employment or other service relationship with theCompany is terminated, Executive breaches any of the obligations under this Restrictive Covenants Agreement, then, in addition
to all other legal and equitable remedies available to the Company, the Company may, by delivery of written notice to Executive
within ninety (90) days after its actual knowledge of such breach, terminate Executive’s right to receive any unpaid severance
benefits and any unvested portion of any equity awards, require the repayment of any severance benefits previously paid and electto purchase all or any portion of the-7-Company common stock issued to Executive (to the extent not previously repurchased) upon vesting or exercise of an equity
award at a price per share equal to the lower of fair market value as of the date of repurchase or the original purchase price paid
by Executive. In the event Executive disposes of the shares of Company common stock acquired upon vesting or exercise of
equity awards prior to the Company exercising its repurchase right pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Executive agrees to,within 10 days after receiving the Company’s written notice in accordance with this Section 5, remit to the Company an amountequal to the fair market value of the shares of Company common stock so disposed, calculated as of the date Executive disposedof the shares of Company common stock. Each written notice in accordance with this Section 5 will identify the shares ofCompany common stock to be acquired from Executive, the repurchase price of such Company common stock and the time andplace for the closing of the transaction. At the closing, the Company shall pay the repurchase price to Executive, and Executive
shall transfer the shares of Company common stock being repurchased to the Company or the fair market value of such shares ofCompany common stock as of the date Executive disposed of them, as applicable. Executive hereby appoints the Company as
Executive’s attorney-in-fact to facilitate and effect any such repurchase.

Exhibit 97.1

AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC. POLICY FOR RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDEDCOMPENSATION
American Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded
Compensation (the “Policy”), effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms used in this Policy but nototherwise defined in the text of this policy are defined in Section 11.
1.

Persons Subject to Policy
This Policy shall apply to current and former Officers.

2.

Compensation Subject to Mandatory Recovery

Section 3(a) of this Policy shall apply to Incentive-Based Compensation received on or after the Effective Date. For
purposes of this Policy, the date on which Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” shall be determined under the Applicable
Rules, which generally provide that Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which therelevant Financial Reporting Measure is attained or satisfied, without regard to whether the grant, vesting or payment of the
Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.
3.

Recovery of Compensation(a) In the event that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, the Company shall recover, reasonably promptly,
the portion of any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Erroneously Awarded Compensation, unless the Committee has
determined that recovery would be Impracticable. Recovery shall be required in accordance with the preceding sentence
regardless of whether the applicable current or former Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to therequirement for the Restatement and regardless of whether or when restated financial statements are filed by the Company. For
clarity, the recovery, or attempted recovery, of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy will not give rise to any
person’s right to voluntarily terminate employment for “good reason,” or due to a “constructive termination” (or any similar termof like effect) under any plan, program or policy of or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(b) In addition to (and without limiting) the provision of Section 3(a) above, in the event the Company is required toprepare a Restatement, the Committee will review the facts and circumstances that led to the requirement for such Restatement
and take any other actions it deems appropriate with respect to cash incentive compensation paid under any Company Short-term
Incentive Program and any Company Long-Term Incentive Performance Program as well as granted in the form of equity
incentive awards received by a current or former Officer on or after the Effective Date during the applicable Three-Year Period.
The Committee will consider whether an Officer received compensation based on performance reported, but not actuallyachieved, or was accountable for the events that led to such restatement, including any

1

misconduct. Actions the Committee may take include: seeking recovery of the incentive-based compensation in excess of what
would have been paid to the current or former Officer under the Restatement, imposing disciplinary actions and pursuing anyother remedies.
4.

Manner of Recovery; Limitation on Duplicative Recovery

The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the manner of recovery of any incentive compensation, including
Erroneously Awarded Compensation, which may include, without limitation, reduction or cancellation by the Company or anaffiliate of the Company of Incentive-Based Compensation or Erroneously Awarded Compensation, reimbursement or repayment
by any person subject to this Policy of incentive compensation, including the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and, to theextent permitted by law, an offset of incentive compensation, including the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, against othercompensation payable by the Company or an affiliate of the Company to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unlessotherwise prohibited by the Applicable Rules, to the extent this Policy provides for recovery of incentive compensation, including
Erroneously Awarded Compensation, already recovered by the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of2002 or Other Recovery Arrangements, the amount of incentive compensation already recovered by the Company from therecipient of such incentive compensation will be credited to the amount of incentive compensation required to be recovered
pursuant to this Policy from such person.
5.

Administration

This Policy shall be administered, interpreted and construed by the Committee, which is authorized to make alldeterminations necessary, appropriate or advisable for such purpose. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may
re-vest in itself the authority to administer, interpret and construe this Policy in accordance with applicable law, and in such event
references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to the Board. Subject to any permitted review by theapplicable national securities exchange or association pursuant to the Applicable Rules, all determinations and decisions made by
the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including theCompany and its affiliates, equityholders and employees. The Committee may delegate administrative duties with respect to thisPolicy to one or more directors or employees of the Company, as permitted under applicable law, including any Applicable Rules.
6.

Interpretation

with the requirements of the Applicable Rules, and to the extent they are inconsistent with such Applicable Rules, it shall bedeemed amended to the extent necessary to ensure it is consistent therewith.

7.

No Indemnification; No Personal Liability

The Company shall not indemnify or insure any person against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation
pursuant to this Policy, nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or reimburse any person for any premiums for third-party
insurance policies that such person may elect to purchase to fund such person’s potential obligations under this Policy. No
member of the Committee or the Board shall have any personal liability to any person as a result of actions taken under thisPolicy and each member of the Committee and the Board will be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent available
under applicable law and the Company’s governing documents with respect to any actions taken under this Policy. The foregoingsentence will not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board under applicable law and the Company’s
governing documents.
8.

Application; Enforceability

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Policy shall supersede and replace in its entirety the Company’s existing Clawback
Policy adopted in 2014 (the “Prior Clawback Policy”); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash incentive
compensation or equity incentive awards that are received prior to the Effective Date shall continue to remain subject to the Prior

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, the adoption of this Policy does not limit, and is intended
to apply in addition to, any other clawback, recoupment, forfeiture or similar policies or provisions of the Company or its
affiliates, including any such policies or provisions of such effect contained in any employment agreement, bonus plan, incentive
plan, equity-based plan or award agreement thereunder or similar plan, program or agreement of the Company or an affiliate or

the Company. This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all current and former Officers and their beneficiaries, heirs,
executors, administrators or other legal representatives.
9.

Severability
