Notes to Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. These
financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in
AMR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1993.
2. Accumulated depreciation of owned equipment and property at March
31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $5.0 billion and $4.9 billion,
respectively. Accumulated amortization of equipment and property
under capital leases at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was
$792 million and $760 million, respectively.
3. American has renewed a $1.0 billion credit facility which expired
in early April 1994 in the amount of $750 million. The renewal
extends the term of the facility to 1997, and borrowings thereunder
may require collateralization under certain circumstances. No
borrowings were outstanding under this facility at March 31, 1994.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
Summary AMR's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1994, was
$7 million ($0.30 per common share, both primary and fully diluted).
This compares to a net loss of $22 million ($0.43 per common share,
both primary and fully diluted) for the first quarter of 1993. AMR's
operating income improved 37.1 percent or $43 million. First quarter
1994 operating revenues decreased 0.2 percent or $6 million.
AMR's performance continues to be hampered by inadequate yields in
the domestic markets, which represent over 70 percent of American's
traffic. American's domestic yields decreased 3.7 percent due to the
continuation of fare discounts of many types, while international
yields increased 5.2 percent. American's operations were also
impacted by unusually severe winter weather in the first quarter of
1994.
The following sections provide a discussion of AMR's results by
reporting segment. A description of the businesses in each reporting
segment is included in AMR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993.

Air Transportation Group's revenues decreased 2.2 percent or $78
million. American's passenger revenues decreased by 3.2 percent, $99
million. American's yield (the average amount one passenger pays to
fly one mile) of 13.53 cents decreased by 1.7 percent compared to the
same period in 1993. Domestic yields decreased 3.7 percent while
international yields increased 4.3 percent in Latin America and 4.5
percent in Europe.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
American's traffic or revenue passenger miles (RPMs) decreased 1.5
percent to 22.38 billion miles for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
This decrease is primarily due to reductions in capacity. Year over
year for the first quarter 1994, American's domestic traffic
decreased 2.6 percent on capacity reductions of 7.0 percent and
international traffic grew 1.1 percent on a capacity reduction of 5.2
percent. The change in international traffic was driven by an 11.2
percent growth in Latin America with capacity growth of 2.9 percent,
offset by a 9.1 percent decrease in traffic to Europe primarily
driven by a capacity reduction of 14.0 percent.
Passenger revenues of the AMR Eagle carriers increased 9.7 percent,
$16 million, primarily due to the expansion of regional operations
into larger markets. Traffic on the AMR Eagle carriers increased
21.1 percent to 540 million RPMs, while capacity grew 10.8 percent to
993 million available seat miles (ASMs).
Cargo revenues increased 2.6 percent, $4 million, driven by an 8.0
percent increase in American's domestic and international cargo
volumes, partially offset by decreasing yields brought about by
strong price competition resulting from excess industry capacity.
American's capacity or ASMs decreased 6.3 percent to 36.72 billion
miles in the first quarter of 1994 primarily as a result of the
retirement of 29 DC-10 aircraft and 30 Boeing 727 aircraft partially
offset by the addition of 43 new aircraft: 28 Fokker F100s, seven
Boeing 757s, six Boeing 767s and two McDonnell Douglas MD11 aircraft
since March 31, 1993. Air Transportation Group's operating expenses
decreased 2.6 percent, $92 million. Because capacity decreased more
rapidly than expenses, American's passenger division cost per ASM
increased by 3.1 percent to 8.66 cents. Wages, salaries and benefits rose
2.2 percent, $26 million, due primarily to salary adjustments for
existing employees, partially offset by a 3.3 percent reduction in
the average number of equivalent employees. Aircraft fuel expense
decreased 16.8 percent, $80 million, due to a 9.6 percent decrease in
American's average price per gallon, combined with an 8.5 percent
decrease in gallons consumed by American. Commissions to agents
decreased 2.7 percent, $9 million, due principally to decreased
passenger revenues. New aircraft acquisitions and other capital
improvements raised depreciation and amortization costs 10.5 percent,
$25 million. Other operating expenses, consisting of aircraft
rentals, other rentals and landing fees, food service costs,
maintenance costs and other miscellaneous operating expenses
decreased 4.1 percent, $54 million, primarily due to reductions in
food service costs and landing fees as a result of capacity
reductions and lower maintenance expenses realized upon the
retirement of older DC-10 and Boeing 727 aircraft as well as
operating efficiencies.

Revenues
Revenues for The SABRE Group increased 17.0 percent, $56 million,
primarily due to increased booking fee revenues resulting from growth
in booking volumes, increases in average fees per booking collected
from participating vendors and the introduction of a premium priced
product.
Expenses
Wages, salaries and benefits increased 18.8 percent, $19 million, due
to wage and salary increases and a 4.5 percent increase in the average
number of equivalent employees. Other operating expenses increased
7.3 percent, $8 million, due to higher incentive payments to travel
agents and costs associated with international expansion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Revenues
Revenues for the AMR Management Service Group increased 24.8 percent
or $26 million. AMR Services' revenues increased 18.3 percent, $13
million, primarily as a result of strong domestic fuel and deicing
service sales, expansion of European operations, and the acquisition
of an additional domestic fixed-base operator in November 1993.
Americas Ground Services, which began operations in the second
quarter of 1993, contributed $6 million in revenues. AMR Training
and Consulting Group, which began operations in the first quarter of
1993 improved to approximately $7 million in revenues in the first
quarter of 1994.
Expenses
Wages, salaries and benefits increased 42.3 percent, $11 million, due
primarily to a 37.3 percent increase in the average number of
equivalent employees. Other operating expenses increased 20.0
percent, $14 million, due primarily to the startup of operations for
Americas Ground Services and AMR Training and Consulting Group and
the expansion of AMR Services.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities in the three month period
ended March 31, 1994 was $202 million compared to $256 million in
1993. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1994 were $341
million and included the acquisition of 11 passenger aircraft by
American: two Boeing 757-200 and nine Fokker 100s. Also AMR Eagle
acquired five turboprop aircraft, three Super ATRs and two SAAB
340Bs. These capital expenditures as well as expansion of airport
facilities were financed through the issuance of long-term debt and
internally generated cash.
OTHER
In April 1994 AMR signed a comprehensive 20-year services agreement
with Canadian Airlines International (CAI). Among the services AMR
will provide CAI are accounting, data processing and communications
operations, operations planning, pricing and yield management,
international services, passenger services procedures training, and
U. S. originating reservations activity. Revenues from the contract
are expected to exceed $100 million in the first full year and exceed
$2.0 billion over the 20-year contract. In April 1994 AMR also made
a $177 million investment in CAI, giving it approximately a one-third
economic interest in the company.

PART II
Item 2. Legal Proceedings
In December 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under
Section 1 of the Sherman Act against several airlines, including the
Company, alleging price fixing based upon the industry's exchange of
fare information through the Airline Tariff Publishing Company. In
March 1994, the Company and the remaining defendants in the case
agreed to settle the lawsuit without admitting liability by entering
into a stipulated final judgment that prohibits or restricts certain
pricing practices including the announcement of fare increases before
their effective date. The proposed final judgment is subject to
approval by the Court following a public notice and comment period
prescribed by statute. The Company does not anticipate a material
financial impact from the settlement or compliance with the stipulated
judgment. Private class action claims with similar allegations were
settled by the Company and other airlines which became final in March
1993. Prior to the private class action settlement becoming final,
the Company and several other airlines voluntarily altered certain
pricing practices at issue in the lawsuits to avoid exposure to
additional claims.
American has been sued in two class action cases that have been
consolidated in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, in
connection with certain changes made to American's AAdvantage frequent
flyer program in May, 1988. (Wolens, et al v. American Airlines,
Inc., No. 88 CH 7554, and Tucker v. American Airlines, Inc., No. 89 CH
199.) In both cases, the plaintiffs seek to represent all persons who
joined the AAdvantage program before May 1988. The complaints allege
that, on that date, American implemented changes that limited the
number of seats available to participants traveling on certain awards
and established holiday blackout dates during which no AAdvantage
seats would be available for certain awards. The plaintiffs allege
that these changes breached American's contracts with AAdvantage
members and were in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and
Deceptive Business Practices Act (Consumer Fraud Act). Plaintiffs
seek money damages of an unspecified sum, punitive damages, costs,
attorneys fees and an injunction preventing the Company from making
any future changes that would reduce the value of AAdvantage benefits.
American moved to dismiss both complaints, asserting that the claims
are preempted by the Federal Aviation Act and barred by the Commerce
Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The trial court denied American's preemption motions, but certified
its decision for interlocutory appeal. In December 1990, the Illinois
Appellate Court held that plaintiffs' claims for an injunction are
preempted by the Federal Aviation Act, but that plaintiffs' claims for
money damages could proceed. On March 12, 1992, the Illinois Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of the Appellate Court. American sought a
writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court; and on October 5,
1992, that Court vacated the decision of the Illinois Supreme Court
and remanded the cases for reconsideration in light of the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision in Morales v. TWA, et al, which interpreted
the preemption provisions of the Federal Aviation Act very broadly.
On December 16, 1993, the Illinois Supreme Court rendered its decision
on remand, holding that plaintiffs' claims seeking an injunction were
preempted, but that identical claims for compensatory and punitive
damages were not preempted. On February 8, 1994, American filed
petition for a writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court. The
Illinois Supreme Court granted American's motion to stay the state
court proceeding pending disposition of American's petition in the
U.S. Supreme Court. On April 4, 1994 the Supreme Court granted
American's writ of certiorari.
AMR and American are vigorously defending all of the above claims.
