Notes to Financial Statements
1. American Airlines, Inc. (American) is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of AMR Corporation (AMR). In the opinion of management, these
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature except as disclosed. These financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes contained in American's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
2. Passenger revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1994,
include a $49 million favorable adjustment ($29 million after
tax) produced by a change in the Company's estimate of the usage
patterns of miles sold to participating companies in American's
AAdvantage frequent flyer program. Passenger Revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 1993, reflect a $115 million
favorable adjustment ($67 million net of related commission
expense and taxes) resulting from a change in estimate relating
to certain earned passenger revenues.
3. Included in Miscellaneous - net for the nine months ended
September 30, 1993, is a $125 million charge ($79 million after
tax) related to the retirement of 31 DC-10 aircraft. The charge
represents the Company's best estimate of the expected loss
based upon the anticipated method of disposition. However,
should the ultimate method of disposition differ, the actual
loss could be different than the amount estimated.
4. Accumulated depreciation of owned equipment and property at
September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, was $5.1 billion and
$4.7 billion, respectively. Accumulated amortization of
equipment and property under capital leases at September 30,
1994 and December 31, 1993, was $793 million and $707 million,
respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
American's results for the nine months ended September 30, 1994,
reflected the improved performance of the Company's Passenger and
SABRE Travel Information Network (STIN) divisions. The Company's
plan to maximize Passenger division revenue per available seat mile
(ASM) by reducing capacity and optimizing the deployment of flight
assets resulted in a 1.1 percent reduction in passenger traffic on a
6.3 percent decline in ASMs. As a result, passenger load factor
increased 3.4 points and revenue per ASM improved by 2.7 percent.
Average stage length increased approximately 6.3 percent,
contributing to a decline in Passenger division yield since fares on
longer trips tend to be lower on a per ASM basis. In addition,
yields continued to be hampered by competitive fare actions and the
impact of low fare carriers in certain domestic markets. STIN's
improved performance resulted from increased booking volumes and an
increase in the average fee per booking.
Operating costs decreased 4.4 percent, driven primarily by the
impact of reduced capacity and a decline in fuel prices.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, include a
$49 million favorable adjustment ($29 million after tax) to
passenger revenues produced by a change in the Company's estimate of
the usage patterns of miles sold to participating companies in
American's AAdvantage frequent flyer program.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, included a
$125 million charge ($79 million after tax) for the retirement of 31
McDonnell Douglas DC10 aircraft and a positive $115 million
adjustment ($67 million net of related commission expense and taxes)
to passenger revenues for a change in estimate related to certain
earned passenger revenues.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
American recorded net earnings of $389 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994. For the same period in 1993, American
recorded net earnings of $190 million. Operating income was $948
million in the 1994 nine months compared to $739 million in the 1993
nine months.
Passenger revenues decreased 3.9 percent, $393 million, in the first
nine months of 1994. Passenger revenue yield per passenger mile
decreased 2.8 percent to 13.09 cents in 1994.. Domestic yields
dropped 4.2 percent while international yields increased 1.1
percent. Revenue passenger miles decreased 1.1 percent while
available seat miles (ASMs) fell 6.3 percent, resulting in an
improvement of 3.4 points in the passenger load factor. As a
result, passenger revenue per available seat mile increased by 2.7
percent.
The decrease in ASMs is the result of retiring 56 aircraft (23
McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and 33 Boeing 727 aircraft) and leasing two
McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft, partially offset by the addition
of 27 new aircraft (17 Fokker F100, seven Boeing 757, and three
Boeing 767 aircraft) since September 30, 1993.
For the first nine months of 1994 compared to the same period in
1993, domestic traffic decreased 2.6 percent on capacity reductions
of 7.1 percent and international traffic grew 2.7 percent on a
capacity reduction of 4.3 percent. The change in international
traffic was driven by a 7.4 percent growth in Latin America with
capacity decrease of 0.1 percent, offset by a 1.1 percent decrease
in traffic to Europe primarily driven by a capacity reduction of 9.0
percent.
Cargo revenues increased 2.4 percent, $11 million, reflecting an 8.5
percent increase in cargo ton miles offset by a 6.0 percent decrease
in revenue yield per ton mile. Growth in cargo ton miles is
primarily attributable to our Europe and Latin America markets,
combined with steady increases in postal volumes.
Other revenues increased 12.9 percent, $116 million primarily as a
result of the improved performance of STIN and increased revenues
from aircraft rental and maintenance contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Capacity or available passenger seat miles (ASMs) decreased 6.3
percent to 114.4 billion miles in the first nine months of 1994.
Operating expenses decreased 4.4 percent, $475 million from the nine
months ended September 30, 1993, to the same period in 1994.
Passenger division cost per ASM increased 1.5 percent to 8.36 cents.
Wages, salaries and benefits rose 2.1 percent, $77 million,
resulting from salary adjustments for existing employees offset by
headcount reductions. Aircraft fuel expense decreased 16.7 percent,
$232 million, due to an 8.4 percent decrease in gallons consumed and
an 8.9 percent decrease in American's average price per gallon.
Commissions to agents decreased 9.9 percent, $106 million, due
principally to decreased passenger revenues and a reduction in the
percentage of revenues subject to commissions. Additions of new
aircraft and the acquisitions of other capital equipment raised
depreciation and amortization 2.9 percent, $24 million. Maintenance
materials and repairs costs decreased 18.0 percent, $75 million
reflecting the retirement of older jet aircraft and increased
operational efficiencies as well as a more vigorous maintenance
warranty recovery effort. Other operating expenses decreased 5.7
percent, $96 million primarily due to the decrease in capacity.
Interest expense decreased 4.1 percent, $13 million due primarily to
a decrease in rates on external debt and a decrease in the
outstanding balance of intercompany debt due to parent partially
offset by an increase in rates on variable rate debt. Included in
Miscellaneous - net for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, is
a charge of $125 million related to the retirement of 31 McDonnell
Douglas DC10 aircraft.
