American Airlines Flights

American Airlines was founded in April 1926 and its headquarters are located in Forth Worth, Texas (United States) near Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport. The company was born when 82 independent airlines, such as Southern Air Transport, Texas, Southern Air Fast Express (SAFE) and Universal Aviation joined their businesses to create a single company in January 1930. Initially, American Airlines offered routes from Boston, New York, Chicago and Dallas, and a flight from Dallas to Los Angeles.

In 1999, the airline was a founding member of Oneworld alliance, which includes some of the largest airlines in the world, for example, Iberia and British Airways. Today, American Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the world in terms of passengers transported and fleet size (it has over 600 aircraft).

The airline has direct flights to 157 cities and transports more passengers between the United States and Latin America (12.1million in 2004) than any other airline. American Airlines is recognised as a key transcontinental airline given that it offers regular flights to Dublin, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, Zurich, Madrid and Brussels. www aa com
