American Airlines, Inc. /s/ Charles D. MarLett Charles D. MarLett Corporate Secretary Dated: December 20, 2002 4 AMR EAGLE EYE December 20, 2002 Statements in this report contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in this report, the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All such statements are based on information available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, regardless of reason. This discussion includes forecasts of costs per ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel consumption, and demand, each of which is a forward-looking statement. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forecasts. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuing impact of the events of September 11, 2001 on the Company, the impact of the recent bankruptcies of United Airlines and US Airways, general economic conditions, competitive factors within the airline industry which could affect the demand for air travel, changes in the Company's business strategy, and changes in commodity prices. For additional information regarding these and other factors see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Monthly Update This Eagle Eye update includes actual unit cost, fuel, traffic and capacity results for the month of November 2002, along with our current expectations for the month of December 2002 and the full fourth quarter. I've also attached a new fleet plan, which reflects our recent decision to accelerate the F100 retirement schedule to 2004 from 2005. Apart from this change, the fleet plan remains unchanged from last month. As a reminder AMR will report it's fourth quarter 2002 and full year financial results on Wednesday January 22nd. A conference call for members of the financial community and the media will take place as usual at 2pm Eastern Time, 1pm Central. Please call if you have questions.
