NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods indicated. The Company's 2002 results continue to
be adversely impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In
addition, on April 9, 2001, American Airlines, Inc. (a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMR Corporation (AMR)) purchased substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Trans World Airlines, Inc.
(TWA). Accordingly, the operating results of TWA are included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2002 but not for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2001. When utilized in this report, all
references to American Airlines, Inc. include TWA (collectively,
American or the Company). Results of operations for the periods
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of
operations for the entire year. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001 ("2001 Form 10-K"). Certain amounts from 2001 have been
reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation.
2. Accumulated depreciation of owned equipment and property at March 31,
2002 and December 31, 2001 was $8.2 billion. Accumulated amortization
of equipment and property under capital leases at March 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 was $1.0 billion.
3. The following table provides unaudited pro forma consolidated results
of operations, assuming the acquisition of TWA had occurred as of
January 1, 2001 (in millions, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2001
------------------
Operating revenues $ 5,160
Net loss (88)
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been
prepared for comparative purposes only. These amounts are not
indicative of the combined results that would have occurred had the
transaction actually been consummated on the date indicated above and
are not indicative of the consolidated results of operations which may
occur in the future.
4. As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K, Miami-Dade County (the
County) is currently investigating and remediating various
environmental conditions at the Miami International Airport (MIA) and
funding the remediation costs through landing fees and various cost
recovery methods. American has been named as potentially responsible
party (PRP) for the contamination at MIA. During the second quarter of
2001, the County filed a lawsuit against 17 defendants, including
American, in an attempt to recover its past and future cleanup costs
(Miami-Dade County, Florida v. Advance Cargo Services, Inc., et al. in
the Florida Circuit Court). In addition to the 17 defendants named in
the lawsuit, 243 other agencies and companies were also named as PRPs
and contributors to the contamination. American's portion of the
cleanup costs cannot be reasonably estimated due to various factors,
including the unknown extent of the remedial actions that may be
required, the proportion of the cost that will ultimately be recovered
from the responsible parties, and uncertainties regarding the
environmental agencies that will ultimately supervise the remedial
activities and the nature of that supervision. In addition, the Company
is subject to environmental issues at various other airport and
non-airport locations. Management believes, after considering a number
of factors, that the ultimate disposition of these environmental issues
is not expected to materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Amounts
recorded for environmental issues are based on the Company's current
assessments of the ultimate outcome and, accordingly, could increase or
decrease as these assessments change.

5. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had commitments to acquire the
following aircraft: 47 Boeing 737-800s, 12 Boeing 777-200ERs, nine
Boeing 767-300ERs and one Boeing 757-200 aircraft. Deliveries of these
aircraft are scheduled to continue through 2008. Payments for these
aircraft are expected to be approximately $375 million during the
remainder of 2002, $1 billion in 2003, $500 million in 2004 and an
aggregate of approximately $1.3 billion in 2005 through 2008.
6. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, American borrowed
approximately $225 million under various debt agreements which are
secured by aircraft. Effective interest rates on these agreements are
based on London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread and mature in
2012.
In March 2002, the Regional Airports Improvement Corporation issued
facilities sublease revenue bonds at the Los Angeles International
Airport to provide reimbursement to American for certain facility
construction costs. The proceeds of approximately $215 million provided
to American have been recorded as long-term debt on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. These obligations bear interest at fixed
rates, with an average rate of 7.88 percent, and mature over various
periods of time, with a final maturity in 2024.
7. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
(SFAS 142). SFAS 142 requires the Company to test goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets (for American, route acquisition
costs) for impairment rather than amortize them. During the first
quarter of 2002, the Company completed its impairment analysis for
route acquisition costs in accordance with SFAS 142. The analysis did
not result in an impairment charge. In addition, the Company completed
its impairment analysis related to its $1.3 billion of goodwill and
determined the Company's entire goodwill balance was impaired. In
arriving at this conclusion, the Company's net book value was
determined to be in excess of the Company's fair value at January 1,
2002, using American as the reporting unit for purposes of the fair
value determination. The Company determined its fair value as of
January 1, 2002 using various valuation methods, ultimately utilizing
an allocation of AMR's fair value, which was determined using market
capitalization as the primary indicator of fair value. As a result,
the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge, effective January 1,
2002, of $889 million (net of a tax benefit of $363 million) to
write-off all of American's goodwill. This charge is nonoperational in
nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting change in
the consolidated statements of operations. This charge does not affect
the Company's financial covenants in any of its credit agreements.
In addition, effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended (SFAS 133). SFAS 133
required the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair
value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are
either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair
value is immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of SFAS 133
did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment being recorded to net
income for the change in accounting. However, the Company recorded a
transition adjustment of approximately $64 million in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the first quarter of 2001.

The following table provides information relating to the Company's
amortized intangible assets as of March 31, 2002 (in millions):
Accumulated
Cost Amortization
------------ ------------
AMORTIZED INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Airport operating rights $ 449 $ 132
Gate lease rights 209 75
------------ ------------
Total $ 658 $ 207
============ ============
Airport operating and gate lease rights are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 25 years to a zero residual value. For the
three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded
amortization expense of approximately $8 million related to these
intangible assets. The Company expects to record annual amortization
expense of approximately $26 million in each of the next five years
related to these intangible assets.
The pro forma effect of SFAS 142 - assuming the Company had adopted
this standard as of January 1, 2001 - is immaterial to the Company's
net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001.
8. The Company includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities, changes in minimum pension liabilities and changes in the
fair value of certain derivative financial instruments that qualify for
hedge accounting in comprehensive income (loss). For the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive income (loss) was $(1,357)
million and $40 million, respectively. The difference between net loss
and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is due
primarily to the accounting for the Company's derivative financial
instruments under SFAS 133. The difference between net loss and
comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was due
primarily to the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 133 and the
accounting for the Company's derivative financial instruments under
SFAS 133.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
SUMMARY American Airlines, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation)
recorded a LOSS BEFORE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 of $542 million. This compares to a net loss of $34
million for the first quarter of 2001. American Airlines, Inc. OPERATING LOSS of
$722 million increased $710 million compared to the same period in 2001. The
Company's 2002 results continue to be adversely impacted by the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks. In addition, on April 9, 2001, American Airlines, Inc.
purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA). Accordingly, the operating results of TWA are
included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2002 but not for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2001. All references to American Airlines, Inc. include TWA
(collectively, American or the Company). In addition, the Company recorded a
one-time, non-cash charge of $889 million (net of tax), reflected as a
cumulative effect of accounting change, to write-off American's goodwill.
Although traffic has continued to increase on significantly reduced capacity
since the events of September 11, 2001, the Company's first quarter 2002
revenues were down significantly year-over-year. In addition to the residual
effects of September 11, the Company's revenues continue to be negatively
impacted by the economic slowdown -- seen largely in business travel declines--
and an increase in fare sale activity. In total, the Company's REVENUES
decreased $570 million, or 13 percent, in the first quarter of 2002 from the
same period last year. American's PASSENGER REVENUES decreased by 11.5 percent,
or $451 million in the first three months of 2002 from the same period in 2001.
American's domestic revenue per available seat mile (RASM) decreased 15.4
percent, to 8.7 cents, on a capacity increase of 9.4 percent, to 29.3 billion
available seat miles (ASMs). International RASM decreased to 8.66 cents, or 10.6
percent, on a capacity decrease of 11.4 percent. The decrease in international
RASM was due to a 14.1 percent decrease and 11.9 percent decrease in European
and Latin American RASM, respectively, slightly offset by a 9 percent increase
in Pacific RASM. The decrease in international capacity was driven by a 39.5
percent, 13.9 percent and 4 percent reduction in Pacific, European and Latin
American ASMs, respectively.
Cargo REVENUES decreased $41 million, or 23.6 percent, due primarily to the
continued impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the economic
slowdown.
OTHER REVENUES decreased 29 percent, or $78 million, due primarily to decreases
in contract maintenance work that American performs for other airlines, and
decreases in codeshare revenue and employee travel service charges.
The Company's OPERATING EXPENSES increased 3.2 percent, or $140 million.
American's cost per ASM increased 0.4 percent to 11.30 cents. WAGES, SALARIES
AND BENEFITS increased 20.8 percent, or $340 million, primarily due to
contractual wage rate and seniority increases that are built into the Company's
labor contracts. In addition, the Company experienced increases in its pension
and health insurance costs, the latter reflecting rapidly rising medical care
and prescription drug costs. AIRCRAFT FUEL expense decreased 25.8 percent, or
$173 million, due primarily to a 23.3 percent decrease in the Company's average
price per gallon of fuel. OTHER RENTALS AND LANDING FEES increased 13.6 percent,
or $32 million, due to higher facilities rent and landing fees across American's
system. AIRCRAFT RENTALS increased $79 million, or 56.4 percent, due primarily
to the addition of TWA aircraft. COMMISSIONS TO AGENTS decreased 28.8 percent,
or $61 million, due primarily to an 11.5 percent decrease in passenger revenues
and a decrease in the percentage of commissionable transactions. OTHER OPERATING
EXPENSES decreased 10.8 percent, or $87 million, due primarily to decreases in
contract maintenance work that American performs for other airlines, and
decreases in travel and incidental costs, advertising and promotion costs, and
credit card fees, which were partially offset by higher insurance and security
costs.
-7-
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), historically a net expense, increased $60 million due to
the following: INTEREST INCOME decreased 18.2 percent, or $4 million, due
primarily to decreases in interest rates. INTEREST EXPENSE increased $51
million, or 67.1 percent, resulting primarily from the increase in the Company's
long-term debt. INTEREST CAPITALIZED decreased $19 million, or 48.7 percent, due
primarily to a decrease in purchase deposits for flight equipment. RELATED PARTY
INTEREST - NET decreased $16 million due primarily to higher receivable balances
from affiliated entities versus the first quarter of 2001.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was impacted by
a $27 million charge resulting from a provision in Congress' economic stimulus
package that changes the period for carrybacks of net operating losses (NOLs).
This change allows the Company to carry back 2001 and 2002 NOLs for five years,
rather than two years under the existing law, allowing the Company to more
quickly recover its NOLs. The extended NOL carryback did, however, result in the
displacement of foreign tax credits taken in prior years. These credits are now
expected to expire before being utilized by the Company, resulting in this
charge.
AIRCRAFT INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2002, the Company had commitments to acquire the following
aircraft: 47 Boeing 737-800s, 12 Boeing 777-200ERs, nine Boeing 767-300ERs and
one Boeing 757-200 aircraft. Deliveries of these aircraft are scheduled to
continue through 2008. Payments for these aircraft are expected to be
approximately $375 million during the remainder of 2002, $1 billion in 2003,
$500 million in 2004 and an aggregate of approximately $1.3 billion in 2005
through 2008.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the Company's approximately $2.3 billion in cash and short-term
investments as of March 31, 2002, the Company has available a variety of future
financing sources, including, but not limited to: (i) the receipt of the
remainder of the U.S. Government grant authorized by the Air Transportation
Safety and System Stabilization Act (the Act), which is estimated to be in
excess of $100 million, (ii) additional secured aircraft debt, (iii) the
availability of the Company's $1 billion credit facility, (iv) sale-leaseback
transactions of owned property, including aircraft and real estate, (v) the
recovery of past federal income taxes paid as a result of a provision in the
recently passed economic stimulus package regarding NOL carrybacks (in April
2002, AMR Corporation received approximately $393 million related to the
utilization of its remaining 2001 NOL), (vi) tax-exempt borrowings for airport
facilities, (vii) securitization of future operating receipts, (viii) unsecured
borrowings, and (ix) borrowings backed by federal loan guarantees as provided
under the Act. No assurance can be given that any of these financing sources
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. However, the Company
believes it will meet its current financing needs.
As a result of the September 11, 2001 events, aviation insurers have
significantly reduced the maximum amount of insurance coverage available to
commercial air carriers for liability to persons other than employees or
passengers for claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war or similar events
(war-risk coverage). At the same time, they significantly increased the premiums
for such coverage as well as for aviation insurance in general. Pursuant to
authority granted in the Act, the Government has supplemented the commercial
war-risk insurance until May 19, 2002 with a third party liability policy to
cover losses to persons other than employees or passengers for renewable 60-day
periods. In the event the insurance carriers reduce further the amount of
insurance coverage available or the Government fails to renew war-risk
insurance, the Company's operations and/or financial position, results of
operations or cash flows would be adversely impacted.
As discussed in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K, a provision in the current Allied
Pilots Association contract further limits the number of ASMs and block hours
flown by American's regional carrier partners when American pilots are on
furlough. As AMR Eagle continues to accept previously ordered regional jets,
this will cause the ASM cap to be reached sometime in the first half of 2002,
necessitating actions to comply with that cap. American is working with its
regional partners to ensure that it is in compliance with this provision.
Actions currently being taken and considered by AMR Eagle to reduce its capacity
are discussed in AMR Corporation's 2001 Form 10-K. In addition, American is
removing its code from flights of the American Connection carriers, which are
independent carriers that provide feed to American's St. Louis hub. American
believes that the combination of all these actions will enable it to comply with
the ASM cap through 2002 and for sometime beyond.
-8-
OUTLOOK
Capacity for American is expected to be down approximately 11 percent in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to last year's second quarter levels. For the
second quarter of 2002, the Company expects traffic to be lower by approximately
11 percent as compared to last year's second quarter levels. Pressure to reduce
costs will continue, although the Company will continue to see higher wages,
salaries and benefit costs, higher security costs and insurance premiums, and
greater interest expense. Although the Company expects to see an increase in
fuel prices as compared to the first quarter of 2002, fuel prices are expected
to remain lower in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to last year's second
quarter prices. Further, the Company expects to see a benefit in commission
expense due to the domestic base commission changes implemented in March 2002.
In total however, American's unit costs for the second quarter of 2002 are
expected to be two to three percent higher than last year's second quarter.
Given this higher unit cost, coupled with the revenue pressures seen in the
first quarter and expected to continue into the second quarter, the Company
expects to incur a loss in the second quarter (although the Company does not
expect this loss to be of the same magnitude as the Company's first quarter
loss), and will likely incur a loss for 2002.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
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

in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of the
Company's 2001 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of

Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days before the filing

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 26, 1999, a class action lawsuit was filed, and in November 1999 an
amended complaint was filed, against AMR Corporation, American Airlines, Inc.,
AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, Airlines Reporting Corporation, and the Sabre
Group Holdings, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, Western Division (Westways World Travel, Inc. v. AMR
Corp., et al.). The lawsuit alleges that requiring travel agencies to pay debit
memos to American for violations of American's fare rules (by customers of the
agencies) (1) breaches the Agent Reporting Agreement between American and AMR
Eagle and the plaintiffs, (2) constitutes unjust enrichment, and (3) violates
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 (RICO). The as
yet uncertified class includes all travel agencies who have been or will be
required to pay monies to American for debit memos for fare rules violations
from July 26, 1995 to the present. The plaintiffs seek to enjoin American from
enforcing the pricing rules in question and to recover the amounts paid for
debit memos, plus treble damages, attorneys' fees, and costs. The Company
intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. Although the Company believes that the
litigation is without merit, an adverse court decision could impose restrictions
on the Company's relationships with travel agencies which restrictions could
have an adverse impact on the Company.
On May 13, 1999, the United States (through the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice) sued AMR Corporation, American Airlines, Inc., and AMR
Eagle Holding Corporation in federal court in Wichita, Kansas. The lawsuit
alleges that American unlawfully monopolized or attempted to monopolize airline
passenger service to and from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) by
increasing service when new competitors began flying to DFW, and by matching
these new competitors' fares. The Department of Justice seeks to enjoin American
from engaging in the alleged improper conduct and to impose restraints on
American to remedy the alleged effects of its past conduct. On April 27, 2001,
the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas granted American's motion for
summary judgment. On June 26, 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice appealed the
granting of American's motion for summary judgment. The parties have submitted
briefs to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. No date has been set for oral
argument. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. A final adverse
court decision imposing restrictions on the Company's ability to respond to
competitors would have an adverse impact on the Company.
Between May 14, 1999 and June 7, 1999, seven class action lawsuits were filed
against AMR Corporation, American Airlines, Inc., and AMR Eagle Holding
Corporation in the United States District Court in Wichita, Kansas seeking
treble damages under federal and state antitrust laws, as well as injunctive
relief and attorneys' fees (King v. AMR Corp., et al.; Smith v. AMR Corp., et
al.; Team Electric v. AMR Corp., et al.; Warren v. AMR Corp., et al.; Whittier
v. AMR Corp., et al.; Wright v. AMR Corp., et al.; and Youngdahl v. AMR Corp.,
et al.). Collectively, these lawsuits allege that American unlawfully
monopolized or attempted to monopolize airline passenger service to and from DFW
by increasing service when new competitors began flying to DFW, and by matching
these new competitors' fares. Two of the suits (Smith and Wright) also allege
that American unlawfully monopolized or attempted to monopolize airline
passenger service to and from DFW by offering discounted fares to corporate
purchasers, by offering a frequent flyer program, by imposing certain conditions
on the use and availability of certain fares, and by offering override
commissions to travel agents. The suits propose to certify several classes of
consumers, the broadest of which is all persons who purchased tickets for air
travel on American into or out of DFW from 1995 to the present. On November 10,
1999, the District Court stayed all of these actions pending developments in the
case brought by the Department of Justice. As a result, to date no class has
been certified. The Company intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously. One or
more final adverse court decisions imposing restrictions on the Company's
ability to respond to competitors or awarding substantial money damages would
have an adverse impact on the Company.
On January 30, 2002, the named plaintiff in Hall v. United Airlines, et al., No.
7:00 CV 123-BR(1), pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, filed an amended complaint alleging that between
1997 and the present, American and the other defendant airlines conspired to
reduce commissions paid to U.S.-based travel agents in violation of Section 1 of
the Sherman Act. The named plaintiff seeks to certify a nationwide class of
travel agents, but no class has yet been certified. American is vigorously
defending the lawsuit. A final adverse court decision awarding substantial money
damages would have an adverse impact on the Company.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)
Miami-Dade County (the County) is currently investigating and remediating
various environmental conditions at the Miami International Airport (MIA) and
funding the remediation costs through landing fees and various cost recovery
methods. American Airlines, Inc. and AMR Eagle have been named as potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) for the contamination at MIA. During the second
quarter of 2001, the County filed a lawsuit against 17 defendants, including
American Airlines, Inc., in an attempt to recover its past and future cleanup
costs (Miami-Dade County, Florida v. Advance Cargo Services, Inc., et al. in the
Florida Circuit Court). In addition to the 17 defendants named in the lawsuit,
243 other agencies and companies were also named as PRPs and contributors to the
contamination. American's and AMR Eagle's portion of the cleanup costs cannot be
reasonably estimated due to various factors, including the unknown extent of the
remedial actions that may be required, the proportion of the cost that will
ultimately be recovered from the responsible parties, and uncertainties
regarding the environmental agencies that will ultimately supervise the remedial
activities and the nature of that supervision. The Company is vigorously
defending the lawsuit.
