ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION


The   Transport  Workers  Union  ("TWU")  has  informed  American
Airlines,  Inc. ("American") that its members have  ratified  the
contract covering fleet service workers on which American and the
TWU  reached  tentative  agreement in early  October  1995.   The
contract  includes a one-time early retirement program  which  is
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.
