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 revenue, 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, 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
Attached is our updated monthly guidance on unit cost, fuel,
traffic and capacity for the months of May through August 2002.
American continues to expect unit revenue performance to under-
perform the industry for the second quarter of this year. Key
drivers of this unit revenue performance remain: an above average
exposure to domestic and South American markets which are showing
greater year-over-year revenue declines for the industry as a
whole and limited capacity in Asia where unit revenues are up
significantly from last year's levels; a disappointing rate of
recovery in business travel demand; a sizeable exposure to flow
traffic; as well as continued aggressive pricing actions
undertaken by the competition. These factors contributed to
mainline system unit revenue declines year-over-year of 13% in
April and 9% in May.
Please call if you have additional questions.
