AAL

American Airlines Group Inc.

One of the world's largest airlines, American Airlines flies to more than 350 destinations from hubs in nine U.S. cities, operating mainline jets alongside its American Eagle regional partners. It was born in 1930 when about 80 small carriers, including one where Charles Lindbergh once flew airmail, were consolidated as American Airways before taking its current name in 1934. Its AAdvantage program, launched in 1981, is widely credited as the first modern frequent-flyer program, and it is a founding member of the oneworld Alliance.
