FOR RELEASE: Wednesday, Dec. 9, 1998

                 AMERICAN AIRLINES' ACQUISITION OF RENO AIR
                       CLEARS FEDERAL ANTI-TRUST REVIEW

     FORT WORTH, Texas -- American Airlines, Inc., a subsidiary of AMR Corp. 
(NYSE: AMR) and Reno Air, Inc. (NASDAQ: RENO; PCX: RNO) said today that the 
waiting period prescribed under the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 
Improvements Act of 1976, regarding the planned acquisition by American of 
Reno Air, expired at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 1998.

     The condition to the tender offer by American's wholly owned 
subsidiary, Bonanza Acquisitions, Inc., to acquire Reno Air requiring the 
expiration or termination of such waiting period has been satisfied. The 
tender offer remains subject to further conditions.

     The planned acquisition of Reno Air, which was announced by the two 
carriers on Nov. 19, will enhance American's overall network and strengthen 
its presence in the Western United States.

     The merger agreement provides for a cash tender offer to acquire all of 
the outstanding common shares of Reno Air at $7.75 per share. In addition, 
American will also tender for any and all of Reno's outstanding 9 percent 
Series A Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock. The board of 
directors of Reno Air has unanimously recommended that stockholders tender 
their shares pursuant to the offer.
