Media Q&A Session Follows at 3 p.m. EDT

AMR Corporation will release its third quarter financial results on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

Following the release, Gerard J. Arpey, AMR's Chairman, President and CEO, and Thomas W. Horton, AMR's Executive Vice President - Finance and Planning and Chief Financial Officer, will make a presentation to Wall Street analysts and answer their questions during a conference call at 2 p.m. EDT. Although Arpey and Horton will conduct a separate call with media following the analyst call, the presentation portion will not be repeated.

Media may listen to the presentation and the analyst call one of two ways: by Webcast on the Investor Relations section of the About Us page on the AA.com Web site at http://www.aa.com , or by telephone. In either case, media will be in a "listen only" mode.

Following the presentation and analyst call, Arpey and Horton will be available to answer media questions during a conference call from 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. EDT. Media who have already dialed in to listen to Arpey's and Horton's presentations may remain on the line following the analyst call. There is no need to hang up and call back.

Reporters interested in listening to Arpey's and Horton's presentations or participating in the media Q&A conference call should contact AMR Corporate Communications at 817-967-1577 for details.

A replay of the presentation will be accessible for 48 hours, scheduled to begin Oct. 18 at 6:15 p.m. CDT through Oct. 20 at 11:59 p.m. CDT at (320) 365- 3844 -- access code: 816152.
