     FORT WORTH, Texas - American Airlines today named a 12-year
veteran of the company, Jeffrey C. Campbell, 41, as its new Senior
Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer.  Campbell
replaces Thomas W. Horton, 41, who will leave the company to become
Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
AT&T.
     "Jeff Campbell brings a keen intellect and sound judgment to
this new assignment," said Don Carty, Chairman and CEO.  "In
addition, he has a breadth of finance, planning and operational
experience, all of which are critical as we go through an
exhaustive review of every aspect of our business."
     Campbell joined the company in 1990.  He has managed a wide
range of functions at American, including corporate finance and
banking, corporate development, international planning, airline
management services, tax services, financial planning, aircraft
fleet transactions, corporate insurance and risk management, and
European operations.  In addition, he supervised strategic
transactions for AMR Corporation, the parent of American.
     Campbell has served as American's Vice President-Europe since
January 2000.  He previously served as the company's Vice President-
Corporate Development and Treasurer.

     "During the past 30 months, Jeff has gained invaluable
experience as head of our European division, overseeing all aspects
of our European
operations in eight countries, and building on many of the
strategic alliances he initially helped negotiate, " Carty added.
"The Board of Directors and I have enormous confidence in his
capabilities."
     Campbell received a B. A. Degree in Economics from Stanford
University in 1985 and a Master's in Business Administration from
Harvard University in 1990.  He and his wife have a daughter and
two sons.
     Carty said American was sorry to see Horton leave the company,
but wished him well on his departure.
     "We thank Tom for 17 years of exceptional service to our
company and we congratulate him on this next phase of his career,"
Carty said.
     Horton joined American in 1985 as a financial analyst and
served in a number of senior positions in finance, treasury and
accounting - as well as Vice President-Europe - before being named
Senior Vice President-Finance and CFO in January 2000.
