FOR RELEASE:  Thursday, April 6, 2006

      AMR CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ITS 4.25 PERCENT SENIOR
   CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE 2023 HAVE BECOME CONVERTIBLE INTO
                 SHARES OF AMR COMMON STOCK


          FORT WORTH, Texas -- AMR Corporation today

announced that its 4.25 percent Senior Convertible Notes due

2023 have become convertible into shares of AMR common stock.

As provided in the indenture under which the Notes were

issued, the Notes have become convertible because the sale

price of AMR's common stock for at least 20 trading days in a

period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last

trading day of the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2006, was

greater than 120 percent of the conversion price per share of

AMR common stock on such last trading day.



     The Notes are convertible into Common Stock at the

conversion rate specified in, and otherwise in accordance

with the terms of, the Notes and the indenture under which

the Notes were issued, and they will remain convertible for

so long as they are outstanding.
