ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION


During  August 1995, American Airlines, Inc. (American) and  the
Transport  Workers Union (TWU) reached a tentative agreement  on
eight  separate  labor  contracts covering approximately  27,000
ground  support personnel.  Although it has not been  officially
notified  by  the  TWU,  as  of  September  27,  1995,  American
understands seven of the eight contracts (covering approximately
13,000  personnel) may have been ratified by TWU  members.   The
contracts, if declared by the TWU to have been ratified, include
provisions for early retirement which are expected to result  in
a  substantial charge to American's earnings during the  quarter
ending  December  31,  1995.   This  charge,  which  cannot   be
reasonably  estimated at this time, is not expected  to  have  a
significant  impact on the financial position  or  liquidity  of
American.  American is currently awaiting notification from  the
TWU as to the status of the contracts.
