Item 5.   Other Events.
The  Boards  of  Directors of AMR Corporation (the "Corporation")
and  American  Airlines,  Inc.  ("American")   have  approved   a
reorganization  of  The SABRE Group as a separate,  wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  the  Corporation subject  to  the  receipt  of  a
favorable   tax  ruling  and  certain  other  conditions.    This
reorganization  will  involve the dividend  of  American's  SABRE
Travel  Information  Network,   SABRE  Computer  Services,  SABRE
Development  Services   and SABRE Interactive  divisions  to  the
Corporation.   It  is  anticipated that upon  completion  of  the
reorganization approximately $850 million of American's  debt  to
the  Corporation will be replaced by an equivalent amount of debt
owed  to the Corporation by The SABRE Group.   The reorganization
should be completed sometime during the third quarter.

The  Corporation also continues to study, as it has in the  past,
other  transactions which may involve The SABRE  Group,  such  as
strategic partnerships or an initial public offering of a portion
of  The SABRE Group's stock.  No decisions have been made  as  to
these  other  transactions, however, and  the  Corporation  could
determine  that conducting the business activities of  The  SABRE
Group  within  its  new, reorganized structure  is  in  the  best
interests of the Corporation's stockholders.
