Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation On December 9, 2013 (the Effective Date), AMR Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub) merged with and into US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways Group) (the Merger), with US Airways Group surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as AMR Corporation and referred to herein as AAG and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company), following the Merger. "AMR" refers to the Company during the period of time prior to its emergence from Chapter 11 and the Effective Date of the Merger. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AAG should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in AAG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Principal subsidiaries include American and, effective December 9, 2013, US Airways Group. Because the Merger did not occur until December 2013, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented do not include the accounts of US Airways Group for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation as described below. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results, consisting of normally recurring items, have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived and intangible assets, the frequent traveler programs, pensions and retiree medical and other benefits and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Chapter 11 Matters In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Debtors (as defined in Note 2 below) applied ASC 852 "Reorganizations" (ASC 852) in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined in Note 2 below). ASC 852 requires that the financial statements distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases for the 2013 period are recorded in Reorganization items, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.

Emergence From Chapter 11 and Merger with US Airways Group | Emergence From Chapter 11 and Merger with US Airways Group Overview On November 29, 2011 (the Petition Date), AMR, its principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc. (American), and certain of the Company's other direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the Chapter 11 Cases) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). On October 21, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the Confirmation Order) approving and confirming the Debtors' fourth amended joint plan of reorganization (as amended, the Plan). On the Effective Date, the Debtors consummated their reorganization pursuant to the Plan, principally through the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the Merger Agreement), dated as of February 13, 2013, by and among the Company, AMR Merger Sub and US Airways Group, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into US Airways Group (the Merger), with US Airways Group surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company following the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of US Airways Group was converted into the right to receive one share of American Airlines Group common stock (AAG Common Stock), par value $0.01 per share. From the Petition Date through the Effective Date, pursuant to automatic stay provisions under the Bankruptcy Code and orders granted by the Bankruptcy Court, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date as well as all pending litigation against the Debtors generally were stayed. Following the Effective Date, actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date generally have been permanently enjoined. Any unresolved claims will continue to be subject to the claims reconciliation process under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. However, certain pending litigation related to pre-petition liabilities may proceed in courts other than the Bankruptcy Court to the extent the parties to such litigation have obtained relief from the permanent injunction. Plan of Reorganization The Plan implements the Merger and incorporates a compromise and settlement of certain intercreditor and intercompany claim issues. Pursuant to the Plan, all shares of AMR common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date were canceled. AAG's Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved in connection with the Plan, authorizes the issuance of 1.75 billion new shares of AAG Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 200 million shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of the authorized AAG Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 168 million were designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock," with a stated value $25.00 per share, and issued in accordance with the Plan. AAG Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "AAL" and began trading on December 9, 2013. AAG Series A Preferred Stock was listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "AALCP" from December 9, 2013 until its final mandatory conversion on April 8, 2014. In addition, pursuant to the Plan and the Merger Agreement, up to 40 million shares of AAG Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the 2013 IAP). The Plan contains the following provisions relating to the treatment of pre-petition claims against the Debtors and other holders of allowed interests in AMR:
The Plan contemplated the distribution of up to 756 million shares of common stock, however this amount will be reduced by approximately 20 million shares because certain tax withholdings for employees were paid in cash as permitted under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, the Company issued the remaining shares of AAG Common Stock over the 120-day distribution period, subject to a disputed claims reserve. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, approximately 197 million common shares were distributed to holders of outstanding shares of US Airways Group common stock. Pursuant to rulings of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan has established a disputed claims reserve to hold shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock and AAG Common Stock reserved for issuance to disputed claimholders that ultimately become allowed Single-Dip general unsecured claimholders after emergence. The shares provided for under the Plan are determined based upon a disputed claims reserve amount of approximately $755 million, representing the maximum amount of additional allowable Single-Dip claims under the Plan's provisions. Approximately 16 million shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock are reserved for distribution to holders of disputed Single-Dip general unsecured claims whose claims ultimately become allowed. Approximately 18 million of additional new shares of AAG Common Stock were distributed into the reserve on April 10, 2014. As disputed claims are resolved, the claimants will receive distributions of shares from the reserve on the same basis as if such distributions had been made on or about the Effective Date. To the extent that any of the reserved shares remain undistributed upon resolution of the remaining disputed claims, such shares will not be returned to the Company but rather will be distributed by priority first, if necessary, to satisfy unsecured claims or labor-related obligations, and then to former AMR shareholders as of the Effective Date. AAG is not required to distribute additional shares above the limits contemplated by the Plan described above. In addition, from the Effective Date through March 31, 2014, the Company made the following cash disbursements under the Plan:
Several parties have filed appeals seeking reconsideration of the Confirmation Order. Refer to Note 14 for more information. As noted above, the reconciliation process with respect to the remaining claims will take considerable time post-emergence. The Company's estimates of the amounts of disputed claims that will ultimately become allowed Single-Dip General Unsecured Claims are included in Mandatorily convertible preferred stock and other bankruptcy settlement obligations on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. As these claims are resolved, or where better information becomes available and is evaluated, AAG will make adjustments to the liabilities recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as appropriate. Any such adjustments could be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations in any given period. Availability and Utilization of Net Operating Losses Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Debtors experienced an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which could potentially limit the ability to utilize certain tax attributes including the Debtors’ substantial net operating losses (NOLs). The general limitation rules for a debtor in a bankruptcy case are liberalized where the ownership change occurs upon emergence from bankruptcy. While the Debtors anticipate taking advantage of certain special rules for federal income tax purposes that would permit approximately $9.0 billion of the federal NOL Carryforwards to be utilized without regard to the annual limitation generally imposed by Section 382, there can be no assurance that these special rules will apply. Moreover, an ownership change subsequent to the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy may further limit or effectively eliminate the ability to utilize the Debtors’ NOL Carryforwards and other tax attributes. To reduce the risk of a potential adverse effect on the Debtors’ ability to utilize the NOL Carryforwards, AAG's Certificate of Incorporation contains transfer restrictions applicable to certain substantial shareholders. Although the purpose of these transfer restrictions is to prevent an ownership change from occurring, there can be no assurance that an ownership change will not occur even with these transfer restrictions. A copy of AAG's Certificate of Incorporation was attached as Exhibit 3.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2013. Reorganization Items, Net Reorganization items refer to revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases. The following table summarizes the components included in reorganization items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in millions):

(US Airways Group), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into US Airways Group (the Merger), with US Airways Group surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAG following the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of US Airways Group was converted into the right to receive one share of American Airlines Group common stock (AAG Common Stock), par value $0.01 per share. From the Petition Date through the Effective Date, pursuant to automatic stay provisions under the Bankruptcy Code and orders granted by the Bankruptcy Court, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date as well as all pending litigation against the Debtors generally were stayed. Following the Effective Date, actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date generally have been permanently enjoined. Any unresolved claims will continue to be subject to the claims reconciliation process under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. However, certain pending litigation related to pre-petition liabilities may proceed in courts other than the Bankruptcy Court to the extent the parties to such litigation have obtained relief from the permanent injunction. Plan of Reorganization The Plan implements the Merger and incorporates a compromise and settlement of certain intercreditor and intercompany claim issues. Pursuant to the Plan, all shares of AMR common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date were canceled. AAG's Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved in connection with the Plan, authorizes the issuance of 1.75 billion new shares of AAG Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 200 million shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of the authorized AAG Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 168 million were designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock," with a stated value $25.00 per share, and issued in accordance with the Plan. AAG Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "AAL" and began trading on December 9, 2013. AAG Series A Preferred Stock was listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "AALCP" from December 9, 2013 until its final mandatory conversion on April 8, 2014. In addition, pursuant to the Plan and the Merger Agreement, up to 40 million shares of AAG Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the 2013 IAP). The Plan contains the following provisions relating to the treatment of pre-petition claims against the Debtors and other holders of allowed interests in the Debtors including AMR and American:
The Plan contemplated the distribution of up to 756 million shares of common stock, however this amount will be reduced by approximately 20 million shares because certain tax withholdings for employees were paid in cash as permitted under the Plan. In accordance with the Plan, AAG issued the remaining shares of AAG Common Stock over the 120-day distribution period, subject to a disputed claims reserve. In addition, pursuant to the Plan, approximately 197 million common shares were distributed to holders of outstanding shares of US Airways Group common stock. Pursuant to rulings of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan has established a disputed claims reserve to hold shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock and AAG Common Stock reserved for issuance to disputed claimholders that ultimately become allowed Single-Dip general unsecured claimholders after emergence. The shares provided for under the Plan are determined based upon a disputed claims reserve amount of approximately $755 million, representing the maximum amount of additional allowable Single-Dip claims under the Plan's provisions. Approximately 16 million shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock are reserved for distribution to holders of disputed Single-Dip general unsecured claims whose claims ultimately become allowed. Approximately 18 million of additional new shares of AAG Common Stock were distributed into the reserve on April 10, 2014. As disputed claims are resolved, the claimants will receive distributions of shares from the reserve on the same basis as if such distributions had been made on or about the Effective Date. To the extent that any of the reserved shares remain undistributed upon resolution of the remaining disputed claims, such shares will not be returned to AAG but rather will be distributed by priority first, if necessary, to satisfy unsecured claims or labor-related obligations, and then to former AMR shareholders as of the Effective Date. AAG is not required to distribute additional shares above the limits contemplated by the Plan described above. In addition, from the Effective Date through March 31, 2014, American made the following cash disbursements under the Plan:
Several parties have filed appeals seeking reconsideration of the Confirmation Order. Refer to Note 14 for more information. As noted above, the reconciliation process with respect to the remaining claims will take considerable time post-emergence. American's estimates of the amounts of disputed claims that will ultimately become allowed Single-Dip General Unsecured Claims are included in Bankruptcy settlement obligations on American's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. As these claims are resolved, or where better information becomes available and is evaluated, American will make adjustments to the liabilities recorded in American's condensed consolidated financial statements as appropriate. Any such adjustments could be material to American's financial position or results of operations in any given period. Availability and Utilization of Net Operating Losses Upon emergence from bankruptcy, American experienced an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which could potentially limit the ability to utilize certain tax attributes including American's substantial net operating losses (NOLs). The general limitation rules for a debtor in a bankruptcy case are liberalized where the ownership change occurs upon emergence from bankruptcy. While American anticipates taking advantage of certain special rules for federal income tax purposes that would permit approximately $9.5 billion of the federal NOL Carryforwards to be utilized without regard to the annual limitation generally imposed by Section 382, there can be no assurance that these special rules will apply. Moreover, an ownership change subsequent to American's emergence from bankruptcy may further limit or effectively eliminate the ability to utilize American's NOL Carryforwards and other tax attributes. To reduce the risk of a potential adverse effect on American's ability to utilize the NOL Carryforwards, AAG's Certificate of Incorporation contains transfer restrictions applicable to certain substantial shareholders. Although the purpose of these transfer restrictions is to prevent an ownership change from occurring, there can be no assurance that an ownership change will not occur even with these transfer restrictions. A copy of AAG's Certificate of Incorporation was attached as Exhibit 3.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by AAG with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2013. Reorganization Items, Net Reorganization items refer to revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases. The following table summarizes the components included in reorganization items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in millions):

Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and Other Bankruptcy Settlement Obligations | Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and Other Bankruptcy Settlement Obligations The components of Mandatorily convertible preferred stock and other bankruptcy settlement obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in millions):
The AAG Series A Preferred Stock, while outstanding, voted and participated in accordance with the terms of the underlying Certificate of Designation. One quarter of the shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock initially issued was mandatorily convertible on each of the 30th, 60th, 90th and 120th days after the Effective Date, subject to additional voluntary conversions. The initial stated value of each share of AAG Series A Preferred Stock is $25.00 and accrues dividends at 6.25% per annum, calculated daily, while outstanding. Additionally, AAG Series A Preferred Stock converts to AAG Common Stock based upon the volume weighted average price of the shares of AAG Common Stock on the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, at a 3.5% fixed discount, subject to a conversion price floor of $10.875 per share and a conversion price cap of $33.8080 per share, below or above which the conversion rate remains fixed. AAG Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2014 is included within the "Mandatorily convertible preferred stock and other bankruptcy settlement obligations" line on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 140 million shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 118 million shares of AAG Common Stock in accordance with the Plan. The AAG Series A Preferred Stock obligation was reduced by approximately $3.5 billion, offset in part by an increase in the number of shares of AAG Common Stock issued and expected to be issued to settle the obligation resulting from an increase in the price of AAG's Common Stock exceeding the conversion price cap. As of April 8, 2014, all shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into an aggregate of 141 million shares of AAG Common Stock. The Company's Single-Dip equity obligations, while outstanding, do not vote or participate in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These equity contract obligations, representing the amount of total Single-Dip unsecured creditor obligations not satisfied through the issuance of AAG Series A Preferred Stock at the Effective Date, represent an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares based predominantly on a fixed monetary amount known at inception, and, as such, are not treated as equity, but rather as liabilities until the 120th day after emergence. At the 120th day after emergence, the Company will issue a variable amount of AAG Common Stock necessary to satisfy the obligation amount at emergence, plus accrued dividends of 12% per annum, calculated daily, through the 120th day after emergence, based on the volume weighted average price of the shares of AAG Common Stock, at a 3.5% discount, as specified in the Plan and subject to there being a sufficient number of shares remaining for issuance to unsecured creditors under the Plan. In exchange for employees' contributions to the successful reorganization of the Company, including agreeing to reductions in pay and benefits, the Company agreed in the Plan to provide each employee group a deemed claim which was used to provide a distribution of a portion of the equity of the reorganized entity to those employees. Each employee group received a deemed claim amount based upon a fixed percentage of the distributions to be made to general unsecured claimholders. The fair value based on the expected number of shares to be distributed to satisfy this deemed claim, as adjusted, was approximately 1.5 billion. From the Effective Date through March 31, 2014, the Company has made distributions of $680 million in AAG Common Stock and paid approximately $380 million in cash to cover payroll taxes related to the equity distributions. As of March 31, 2014, the remaining liability to certain AMR labor groups and employees of $474 million is based upon the estimated fair value of the shares expected to be issued in satisfaction of such obligation, measured as if the obligation were settled using the trading price of AAG Common Stock at March 31, 2014. Increases in the trading price of AAG Common Stock after March 31, 2014 could cause a decrease in the fair value measurement of the remaining obligation, and vice-versa. The Company will record this obligation at fair value primarily through the 120th day after emergence, at which time the obligation will be materially settled. As of March 31, 2014, the Company reduced the Mandatorily convertible preferred stock and other bankruptcy settlement obligations by approximately $41 million, which is included in Special items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to reflect the estimated fair value of the shares expected to be issued in satisfaction of the outstanding Mandatorily convertible preferred stock and other bankruptcy settlement obligations, measured as if the obligations were settled using the trading price of AAG Common Stock at March 31, 2014. On April 8, 2014 the Company satisfied all of the AAG Series A Preferred Stock obligations, the Single-Dip equity obligations and the majority of the labor related deemed claim. After the April 8, 2014 distribution date, the Company had an obligation recorded related to the accrued Disputed Claims Reserve of approximately $335 million, which includes an amount expected to be issued to labor assuming the fully accrued Disputed Claims Reserve is allowed by the court and distributed. Allowed claims will receive 30.7553 shares, subject to reduction for expenses of the Disputed Claims Reserve, including tax liabilities, for each $1,000 of allowed claims. Accordingly, increases in the trading price of AAG Common Stock after March 31, 2014 could cause an increase in the value of the Disputed Claims Reserve, and vice-versa. |

The AAG Series A Preferred Stock obligation for American was reduced by approximately $3.0 billion, offset in part by an increase in the number of shares of AAG Common Stock issued and expected to be issued to settle the obligation resulting from an increase in the price of AAG's Common Stock exceeding the conversion price cap.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Pursuant to the Plan and the Merger Agreement, holders of AMR common stock formerly traded under the symbol “AAMRQ” received shares of AAG Common Stock principally over the 120-day distribution period following the Effective Date. In accordance with GAAP, the first quarter 2013 weighted average shares and loss per share calculation have been adjusted to retrospectively reflect these distributions which were made at the rate of approximately 0.7441 shares of AAG Common Stock per share of AAMRQ. Former holders of AAMRQ shares as of the Effective Date may in the future receive additional distributions of AAG Common Stock dependent upon the ultimate distribution of shares of AAG Common Stock to holders of disputed claims. Thus, the shares and related earnings per share (EPS) calculation prior to the Effective Date may change in the future to reflect additional retrospective adjustments for future AAG Common Stock distributions to former holders of AAMRQ shares. As of March 31, 2014, approximately 147 million shares remain to be distributed pursuant to the Plan upon the conversion of AAG Series A Preferred Stock and to satisfy other bankruptcy settlement obligations related to allowed unsecured claims, including disputed claims, labor-related deemed claims and former holders of AAMRQ shares. However, the Company remitted cash for employee withholding taxes in lieu of distributing approximately 4 million shares for the final mandatory distribution to employees on April 8, 2014. Although undistributed shares are not yet issued and outstanding, all conditions of distribution except the passage of time have been met and such shares are considered issued and outstanding for purposes of the Company's basic and diluted EPS calculation. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in millions, except share and per share amounts in thousands):

Income Tax Disclosure [Line Items] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes As a result of the Merger, US Airways Group and its subsidiaries are included in the AAG consolidated federal and state income tax returns for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Merger resulted in a statutory "ownership change" on December 9, 2013, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 382), which limits the Company's future ability to utilize NOLs generated before the ownership change and certain subsequently recognized "built-in" losses and deductions, if any, existing as of the date of the ownership change. The general limitation rules for a debtor in a bankruptcy case are liberalized where an ownership change occurs upon emergence from bankruptcy. The Company's ability to utilize any new NOLs arising after the ownership change is not affected. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $10.6 billion of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2014, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. These NOLs include an unrealized tax benefit of $762 million related to the implementation of share-based compensation accounting guidance that will be recorded in equity when realized. The Company also had approximately $4.7 billion of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2013, which will expire in years 2014 through 2033 if unused. At December 31, 2013, the Company had an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) credit carryforward of approximately $370 million available for federal income tax purposes, which is available for an indefinite period. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2013, the federal and state valuation allowances were $4.6 billion and $415 million, respectively. In accordance with GAAP, utilization of the NOLs after December 9, 2013 will result in a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance and offset the Company's tax provision dollar for dollar. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company utilized NOLs to reduce its income tax obligation. However, the Company recorded a special $8 million non-cash deferred income tax provision related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets and $5 million of state and international income tax expense related to certain states and countries where NOLs were limited or unavailable to be used. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported a loss before income taxes and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $22 million as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. When profitable, the Company is ordinarily subject to AMT. However as a result of a special tax election made in 2009, the Company was able to utilize AMT NOLs to fully offset its AMT taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Merger resulted in a statutory "ownership change" on December 9, 2013, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 382), which limits American's future ability to utilize NOLs generated before the ownership change and certain subsequently recognized "built-in" losses and deductions, if any, existing as of the date of the ownership change. The general limitation rules for a debtor in a bankruptcy case are liberalized where an ownership change occurs upon emergence from bankruptcy. American's ability to utilize any new NOLs arising after the ownership change is not affected. At December 31, 2013, American had approximately $9.5 billion of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2014, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. These NOLs include an unrealized tax benefit of $647 million related to the implementation of share-based compensation accounting guidance that will be recorded in equity when realized. American also had approximately $3.8 billion of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2013, which will expire in years 2014 through 2033 if unused. At December 31, 2013, American had an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) credit carryforward of approximately $467 million available for federal income tax purposes, which is available for an indefinite period. American's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2013, the federal and state valuation allowances were $4.9 billion and $378 million, respectively. In accordance with GAAP, utilization of the NOLs after December 9, 2013 will result in a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance and offset American's tax provision dollar for dollar. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, American utilized NOLs to reduce its income tax obligation. However, American recorded a special $7 million non-cash deferred income tax provision related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets and $4 million of state and international income tax expense related to certain states and countries where NOLs were limited or unavailable to be used. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, American reported a loss before income taxes and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $30 million as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. When profitable, American is ordinarily subject to AMT. However as a result of a special tax election made in 2009, American was able to utilize AMT NOLs to fully offset its AMT taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Investments and Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company's short-term investments classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. The Company's fuel derivative contracts, which consist primarily of call options, collars (consisting of a purchased call option and a sold put option) and call spreads (consisting of a purchased call option and a sold call option), are valued using energy and commodity market data which is derived by combining raw inputs with quantitative models and processes to generate forward curves and volatilities. Jet fuel, crude oil, and ultra low sulfur diesel are the primary underlying commodities in the hedge portfolio. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):
There were no Level 1 to Level 2 transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company's policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to reflect any such transfers at the end of the reporting period. Approximately $5.0 billion of the Company's short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Approximately $3.4 billion of the Company's short-term investments are classified as held to maturity and recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company is also party to certain interest rate swap agreements that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Ineffectiveness for these instruments is required to be measured at each reporting period. The ineffectiveness and fair value associated with all of the Company's interest rate cash flow hedges for all periods presented was not material. Venezuela Cash and Short-term Investments As of March 31, 2014, approximately $750 million of the Company’s unrestricted cash balance was held in Venezuelan bolivars, valued at the weighted average applicable exchange rate of 6.32 bolivars to the dollar. This includes approximately $94 million valued at 4.3 bolivars, approximately $611 million valued at 6.3 bolivars, and approximately $45 million valued at 10.7 bolivars, with the rate depending on the date the Company submitted its repatriation request to the Venezuelan government. In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government announced that a newly-implemented system (SICAD I) will determine the exchange rate (which fluctuates as determined by weekly auctions and at March 31, 2014 was 10.7 bolivars to the dollar) for repatriation of cash proceeds from ticket sales after January 1, 2014, and introduced new procedures for approval of repatriation of local currency. The Company is continuing to work with Venezuelan authorities regarding the timing and exchange rate applicable to the repatriation of funds held in local currency, is monitoring this situation closely and continues to evaluate its holdings of Venezuelan bolivars for potential impairment. See Part II, 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" for additional discussion of these and other currency risks. Fair Value of Debt The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were estimated using quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. If the Company’s long-term debt was measured at fair value, it would have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In connection with the Merger, US Airways Group's long-term debt was recorded at fair value as of December 9, 2013 using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" and was determined by discounting the future contractual principal and interest payments using a market interest rate. The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, were (in millions):

Financial Instruments And Risk Management | Financial Instruments and Risk Management Fuel Price Risk Management As of March 31, 2014, the Company had fuel derivative contracts outstanding covering 15 million barrels of jet fuel that will be settled over the next fifteen months. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company has not entered into any fuel hedges since the Effective Date, and its current policy is not to do so. In accordance with GAAP, the Company assesses, both at the inception of each hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in its hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. Derivatives that meet the requirements are granted special hedge accounting treatment and the Company’s hedges generally meet these requirements. Accordingly, the Company’s fuel derivative contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges and the fair value of the Company’s hedging contracts is recorded in current assets or current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, until the underlying jet fuel is purchased. The Company determines the ineffective portion of its fuel hedge contracts by comparing the cumulative change in the total value of the fuel hedge contract, or group of fuel hedge contracts, to the cumulative change in a hypothetical jet fuel hedge. If the total cumulative change in value of the fuel hedge contract more than offsets the total cumulative change in a hypothetical jet fuel hedge, the difference is considered ineffective and is immediately recognized as a component of aircraft fuel expense. Effective gains or losses on fuel hedging contracts are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) and are recognized in earnings as a component of aircraft fuel expense when the underlying jet fuel being hedged is used. Ineffectiveness is inherent in hedging jet fuel with derivative positions based in crude oil or other crude oil related commodities. The Company assesses, both at the inception of each hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in its hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. In doing so, the Company uses a regression model to determine the correlation of the change in prices of the commodities used to hedge jet fuel (e.g., NY Harbor Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) to the change in the price of jet fuel. The Company also monitors the actual dollar offset of the hedges’ market values as compared to hypothetical jet fuel hedges. The fuel hedge contracts are generally deemed to be "highly effective" if the R-squared is greater than 80% and the dollar offset correlation is within 80% to 125%. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively if it determines that a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective as a hedge or if it decides to discontinue the hedging relationship. Subsequently, any changes in the fair value of these derivatives are marked to market through earnings in the period of change. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized net gains/(losses) of approximately $(2) million, and $8 million, respectively, as a component of aircraft fuel expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations related to its fuel hedging agreements, including the ineffective portion of the hedges. The net fair value of the Company’s fuel hedging agreements at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, representing the amount the Company would receive upon termination of the agreements (net of settled contract assets), totaled $48 million and $107 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company estimates that during the next twelve months it will reclassify from OCI into earnings approximately $3 million in net losses (based on prices as of March 31, 2014) related to its fuel derivative hedges. The impact of aircraft fuel derivative instruments (all cash flow hedges) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations is depicted below (in millions):

(1) Includes the effective portion of hedge gain (loss) While certain of the Company's fuel derivatives are subject to enforceable master netting agreements with its counterparties, the Company does not offset its fuel derivative assets and liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain of these agreements would also allow for the offsetting of fuel derivatives with interest rate derivatives. The impact of aircraft fuel derivative instruments (all cash flow hedges) on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the impact of offsetting aircraft fuel derivative instruments, is depicted below (in millions):
The Company is also exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these financial instruments, and although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements. To manage credit risks, the Company selects counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines, and monitors the market position of the program and its relative market position with each counterparty. The Company also maintains industry-standard security agreements with a number of its counterparties which may require the Company or the counterparty to post collateral if the value of selected instruments exceeds specified mark-to-market thresholds or upon certain changes in credit ratings. The amount of collateral required to be posted from time to time may be substantial. |

Legal Proceedings | Legal Proceedings Chapter 11 Cases. As previously disclosed, on the Petition Date, November 29, 2011, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. On October 21, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order approving and confirming the Debtors' Plan. On the Effective Date, December 9, 2013, the Debtors consummated their reorganization pursuant to the Plan, principally through the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into US Airways Group, with US Airways Group surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAG. From the Petition Date through the Effective Date, pursuant to automatic stay provisions under the Bankruptcy Code and orders granted by the Bankruptcy Court, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date as well as all pending litigation against the Debtors generally were stayed. Following the Effective Date, actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of liabilities preceding the Petition Date, generally have been permanently enjoined. Any unresolved claims will continue to be subject to the claims reconciliation process under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. However, certain pending litigation related to pre-petition liabilities may proceed in courts other than the Bankruptcy Court to the extent the parties to such litigation have obtained relief from the permanent injunction. Pursuant to rulings of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan has established a disputed claims reserve to hold shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock and AAG Common Stock reserved for issuance to disputed claimholders that ultimately become allowed Single-Dip general unsecured claimholders after emergence. The shares provided for under the Plan are determined based upon a disputed claims reserve amount of approximately $755 million. As disputed claims are resolved, the claimants will receive distributions of shares from the reserve on the same basis as if such distributions had been made on or about the Effective Date. To the extent that any of the reserved shares remain undistributed upon resolution of the remaining disputed claims, such shares will not be returned to AAG but rather will be distributed by priority first, if necessary, to satisfy unsecured claims or labor-related obligations, and then to former AMR shareholders as of the Effective Date. AAG is not required to distribute additional shares above the limits contemplated by the Plan, even if the shares remaining for distribution are not sufficient to fully pay all allowed unsecured claims. However, resolution of disputed claims could have a material effect on Single-Dip creditor recoveries under the Plan and the amount of additional share distributions, if any, that are made to former AMR shareholders as the total number of shares of AAG Common Stock that remain available for distribution upon resolution of disputed claims is limited pursuant to the Plan. There is also pending in the Bankruptcy Court an adversary proceeding relating to an action brought by American to seek a determination that certain non-pension, post-employee benefits are not vested benefits and thus may be modified or terminated without liability to American. On April 18, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted American's motion for summary judgment with respect to certain non-union employees, concluding that their benefits were not vested and could be terminated. The summary judgment motion was denied with respect to all other retirees. The Bankruptcy Court has not yet scheduled a trial on the merits concerning whether those retirees' benefits are vested, and American cannot predict whether it will receive relief from obligations to provide benefits to any of those retirees. The Company's financial statements presently reflect these retirement programs without giving effect to any modification or termination of benefits that may ultimately be implemented based upon the outcome of this proceeding. Government Antitrust Actions. On August 13, 2013, the U.S. government, along with the States of Arizona, Florida, Tennessee and Texas, the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the District of Columbia (collectively, the plaintiff states), filed a complaint against US Airways Group and AMR in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the proposed Merger would substantially lessen competition in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act and sought to permanently enjoin the transaction. On September 5, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, adding the State of Michigan as a plaintiff. On October 1, 2013, the State of Texas entered into an agreement with US Airways Group and AMR that resolved that state’s objections to the Merger, and its claims were dismissed with prejudice on October 7, 2013. On November 11, 2013, US Airways and American entered into agreements with the U.S. government and the plaintiff states resolving all claims in the litigation. The agreement with the U.S. government requires the carriers to divest assets at certain airports and remains subject to public comment and court approval. In the agreement with the United States government, among other things, we agreed to divest and not reacquire for 10 years certain rights and assets consisting of 52 slot pairs at DCA, and 17 slot pairs at LaGuardia Airport, in each case together with associated gates and related ground facilities necessary to operate those slot pairs, and two gates at each of Boston Logan International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles International Airport and Miami International Airport. The agreement with the plaintiff states, which was entered by the court on November 12, 2013, requires American and US Airways, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, to maintain certain hub operations in a manner generally consistent with historical operations and to continue to provide scheduled daily service to certain specified communities, both for limited periods of time. In addition, the Company entered into a related settlement with the DOT related to small community service from DCA. Merger Class Action. On March 1, 2013, a complaint captioned Plumbers & Steamfitters Local Union No. 248 Pension Fund v. US Airways Group, Inc., et al., No. CV2013-051605, was filed as a putative class action on behalf of the stockholders of US Airways Group in the Superior Court for Maricopa County, Arizona. On July 3, 2013, an amended complaint, captioned Dennis Palkon, et al. v. US Airways Group, Inc., et al., No. CV2013-051605, was filed with the same court. The amended complaint names as defendants US Airways Group and the members of its board of directors, and alleges that the directors failed to maximize the value of US Airways Group in connection with the Merger and that US Airways Group aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. The relief sought in the amended complaint includes an injunction against the Merger, or rescission in the event it has been consummated. The court in the above-referenced action denied the plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining order that had sought to enjoin the US Airways Group Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The above-referenced action was stayed pending the outcome of the antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. government and various states on August 13, 2013 (described above). This stay has now been lifted and a motion to dismiss this action filed by US Airways Group is pending before the court. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. Private Party Antitrust Action. On July 2, 2013, a lawsuit captioned Carolyn Fjord, et al., v. US Airways Group, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint names as defendants US Airways Group and US Airways, and alleges that the effect of the Merger may be to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act. The relief sought in the complaint includes an injunction against the Merger, or divestiture. On August 6, 2013, the plaintiffs re-filed their complaint in the Bankruptcy Court, adding AMR and American as defendants, and on October 2, 2013, dismissed the initial California action. The Bankruptcy Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to preliminarily enjoin the Merger. On January 10, 2014, the plaintiffs moved to amend their complaint to add additional factual allegations, a claim for money damages and a request for preliminary injunctive relief requiring the carriers to hold separate their assets. On March 14, 2014, the Court allowed plaintiffs to add certain allegations but denied plaintiffs' requests to add a damages claim or seek preliminary injunctive relief requiring the carriers to hold separate their assets. There is currently no trial date set. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. US Airways Sabre Matter. On April 21, 2011, US Airways filed an antitrust lawsuit against Sabre Holdings Corporation, Sabre Inc. and Sabre Travel International Limited (collectively, Sabre) in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit, as amended to date, alleges, among other things, that Sabre has engaged in anticompetitive practices to preserve its market power by restricting the Company's ability to distribute its products to its customers. The lawsuit also alleges that these actions have permitted Sabre to charge supracompetitive booking fees and to use technologies that are not as robust and as efficient as alternatives in a competitive market. The lawsuit seeks both injunctive relief and money damages. Sabre filed a motion to dismiss the case, which the court denied in part and granted in part in September 2011, allowing two of the four counts in the complaint to proceed. On April 1, 2014, Sabre filed motions for summary judgment that are pending before the court. The Company intends to pursue its claims against Sabre vigorously, but there can be no assurance of the outcome of this litigation. General. The Company 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 the control of the Company. Therefore, although the Company will vigorously defend itself in each of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on the Company are uncertain. |

Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-guarantor Subsidiaries | Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-guarantor Subsidiaries There are various cross-guarantees among the Company, American, US Airways Group and US Airways with respect to publicly held debt securities. In connection with the Merger, the Company and American entered into a second supplemental indenture under which they jointly and severally guaranteed the payment of obligations associated with US Airways Group's 6.125% senior notes. The Company also entered into a second supplemental indenture under which the Company guaranteed the payment of obligations of US Airways Group's 7.25% convertible notes and which also provides for the conversion of the 7.25% convertible notes into AAG Common Stock rather than into US Airways Group common stock. In addition, in March 2014, the Company, US Airways Group and US Airways entered into amended and restated guarantees of the payment obligations of US Airways under the equipment notes relating to each of its Series 2010-1, 2011-1, 2012-1, 2012-2 and 2013-1 Pass Through Certificates the result of which was to add AAG as a guarantor of such equipment notes on a joint and several basis with US Airways Group. In connection with the issuance of these guarantees, in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and Rule 12h-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, US Airways Group and US Airways discontinued filing separate periodic and current reports with the SEC. As a result, in accordance with Rule 3-10, the Company is required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information for the periods after Merger close for American Airlines Group Parent, American, US Airways Group Parent, US Airways and all other non-guarantor subsidiaries, together with the consolidating adjustments necessary to present the Company’s results on a consolidated basis.

Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Conversions of shares of AAG Series A Preferred Stock into shares of AAG Common Stock subsequent to the reporting date consisted of the remaining optional and mandatory conversions through April 8, 2014. These conversions are presented in the table below (in thousands):
On April 8, 2014, the Company satisfied all of the AAG Series A Preferred Stock obligations, the Single-Dip equity obligations and the majority of the labor related deemed claim. After the April 8, 2014 distribution date, the Company had an obligation recorded related to the accrued Disputed Claims Reserve of approximately $335 million, which includes an amount expected to be issued to labor assuming the fully accrued Disputed Claims Reserve is allowed by the court and distributed. Allowed claims will receive 30.7553 shares, subject to reduction for expenses of the Disputed Claims Reserve, including tax liabilities, for each $1,000 of allowed claims. Accordingly, increases in the trading price of AAG Common Stock after March 31, 2014 could cause an increase in the value of the Disputed Claims Reserve, and vice-versa. Shares distributed as of April 8, 2014, in settlement of the Company's bankruptcy settlement obligations, are presented in the table below (in thousands):

Basis of Presentation - Consolidation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AAG should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in AAG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Principal subsidiaries include American and, effective December 9, 2013, US Airways Group. Because the Merger did not occur until December 2013, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented do not include the accounts of US Airways Group for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation as described below. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results, consisting of normally recurring items, have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived and intangible assets, the frequent traveler programs, pensions and retiree medical and other benefits and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. |
Chapter 11 Matters | Chapter 11 Matters In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Debtors (as defined in Note 2 below) applied ASC 852 "Reorganizations" (ASC 852) in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined in Note 2 below). ASC 852 requires that the financial statements distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain revenues, expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases for the 2013 period are recorded in Reorganization items, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
