Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with its consideration of a possible transaction with US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways”), AMR Corporation (“AMR”) entered into non-disclosure agreements with certain significant holders of publicly traded bonds and other claims against AMR and other debtor subsidiaries in AMR’s Chapter 11 case for the purpose of facilitating confidential discussions between AMR and those creditors. In the course of those discussions, AMR provided to the creditors certain background information regarding AMR and its views regarding a possible transaction between AMR and US Airways. Pursuant to the relevant non-disclosure agreements, AMR was contractually obligated under certain circumstances to make publicly available the materials it provided to the extent such materials could be deemed to constitute material non-public information. The sole purpose of this form 8-K is to satisfy the contractual obligation of AMR under the relevant non-disclosure agreements.

In furnishing the attached information, AMR notes that the information was prepared significantly prior to its completion of its due diligence review of US Airways. Accordingly, all such materials were preliminary and subject to material revision, and in many instances have been superseded; therefore, the attached information should not be relied upon by investors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, AMR specifically notes that all materials that estimate synergies potentially achievable in a merger transaction were preliminary in nature and have been superseded. Investors are urged to review the updated information furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on the date hereof, including the investor presentation attached thereto.

A copy of the materials provided to creditors is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Joint Business

Agreements

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL WORKING DRAFT PRELIMINARY – SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL REVISION

. . . Implementing a Joint Business is more complex

• Unlike a codeshare, defining a fair financial settlement in a joint business that rewards airlines for jointly growing the joint business is more difficult yet critical

Metal neutrality

Proportionality

Incentive alignment

Anti-Trust Immunity

Alignment of Product

Fairness

• Promote neutrality regarding sales and pricing decisions

• Balanced growth for all parties

• Creates a framework for cooperation & optimal joint decisions

• Incentives for alignment of product/service

• Increased scrutiny from government officials

• Aligned pricing, sales and network strategy

• Co-location at airports and sales offices

• Share the risk and reward of beneficial decisions

• Dis-incentive for damaging unilateral actions

Joint Business

Agreements

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL WORKING DRAFT PRELIMINARY – SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL REVISION

Managing a Joint Business also continues to be more resource-intensive after implementation

• For a joint business to be successful, carriers must be aligned on objectives and develop a financial mechanism that drives incentives to grow the joint business successfully

Alignment of Strategic Direction

• Maintain a single view of key functions, including sales, marketing, schedules and pricing

• Allow for balanced growth

• Develop a complex financial structure to incentivize appropriate behavior to benefit all carriers jointly

Alignment of Management Teams

• Expedite critical decision-making

• Align motives and incentive programs
