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 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, the impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and
the initiatives announced on August 13, 2002 referred to below, and
asset impairment and other charges 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 and the resulting
effect on the economy and the air transportation industry. In
addition, on April 9, 2001, Trans World Airlines LLC (TWA LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation) purchased substantially
all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Trans World
Airlines, Inc. (TWA). Accordingly, the operating results of TWA LLC
are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002 whereas for 2001 the results of TWA LLC were included only for
the period April 10, 2001 through September 30, 2001. When utilized
in this report, all references to American Airlines, Inc. include the
operations of TWA LLC since April 10, 2001 (collectively, American).
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002
presentation. 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 AMR Corporation (AMR
or the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001 ("2001 Form 10-K").

2.On August 13, 2002, the Company announced a series of initiatives
to reduce its costs, reduce capacity, simplify its aircraft fleet, and
enhance productivity. These initiatives include, among other things,
de-peaking of the Company's Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
hub; gradually phasing out operation of its Fokker aircraft fleet by
2005; and reducing capacity in the fourth quarter of 2002. In
addition, the Company announced that it would reduce an estimated
7,000 jobs by March 2003 to realign its workforce with the planned
capacity reductions, fleet simplification, and hub restructurings.

On September 11, 2001, two American Airlines aircraft were hijacked
and destroyed in terrorist attacks on The World Trade Center in New
York City and the Pentagon in northern Virginia. On the same day,
two United Air Lines aircraft were also hijacked and used in
terrorist attacks. In addition to the loss of life on board the
aircraft, these attacks resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries
to persons on the ground and massive property damage. In response
to those terrorist attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration
issued a federal ground stop order on September 11, 2001,
prohibiting all flights to, from, and within the United States.
Airports did not reopen until September 13, 2001 (except for
Washington Reagan Airport, which was partially reopened on October
4, 2001). The Company was able to operate only a portion of its
scheduled flights for several days thereafter. When flights were
permitted to resume, passenger traffic and yields on the Company's
flights were significantly lower than prior to the attacks. As a
result, following these attacks, the Company reduced its operating
schedule to approximately 80 percent of the schedule it flew prior
to September 11, 2001. In addition, as a result of its schedule
reduction and the sharp fall off in passenger traffic, the Company
eliminated approximately 20,000 jobs.

On September 22, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Air
Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (the Act). Under
the airline compensation provisions of the Act, each air carrier was
entitled to receive the lesser of: (i) its direct and incremental
losses for the period September 11, 2001 to December 31, 2001 or
(ii) its proportional available seat mile allocation of the $5
billion compensation available under the Act. The Company received
its final compensation from the U.S. Government under the Act during
the third quarter of 2002. The Company received a total of $866
million from the U.S. Government under the Act. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded
approximately $10 million and $809 million, respectively, as
compensation under the Act, which is included in Special charges -
net of U.S. Government grant, on the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.

Aircraft Charges

In connection with the Company's August 13, 2002 announcement and
related revisions to its fleet plan to accelerate the retirement of
its owned Fokker 100, Saab 340, and ATR 42 aircraft, the Company
determined that these aircraft are impaired under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144). As a
result of this determination, during the third quarter of 2002, the
Company recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $370
million reflecting the diminution in the fair value of these
aircraft and related rotables, the write-down of certain related
inventory to realizable value, and the accrual of certain other
costs. Cash outlays are estimated to be approximately $12 million
and will extend through 2008.

Furthermore, the Company accelerated the retirement of nine
operating leased Boeing 767-300 aircraft to the fourth quarter of
2002 (previously scheduled to be retired by May 2003), and its four
operating leased Fokker 100 aircraft to 2004 (previously scheduled
to be retired by 2010). As a result, during the third quarter of
2002, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $189 million
related primarily to future lease commitments on these aircraft past
the dates they will be removed from service, lease return costs, the
write-down of excess Boeing 767-300 related inventory and rotables
to realizable value, and the accrual of certain other costs. Cash
outlays are estimated to be approximately $159 million and will
occur over the remaining lease terms, which extend through 2014.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2002, as a result of
revisions to its fleet plan, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $99 million related primarily to contract cancellation
costs and other costs related to discontinued aircraft
modifications.

During the second quarter of 2001, in conjunction with the
acquisition of certain assets from TWA, coupled with revisions to
the Company's fleet plan to accelerate the retirement dates of its
owned Fokker 100, Saab 340 and ATR 42 aircraft, the Company
determined these aircraft were impaired. As a result, during the
second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an asset impairment
charge of approximately $685 million relating to the write-down of
the carrying value of these aircraft and related rotables to their
estimated fair values.

Furthermore, during the third quarter of 2001, following the events
of September 11, 2001 and decisions by other carriers to ground
their Fokker 100 fleets, the Company determined that its Fokker 100,
Saab 340, and ATR 42 aircraft were further impaired. Therefore,
during the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded an additional
charge of approximately $423 million reflecting the diminution in
the estimated fair value of these aircraft and related rotables.

AMR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)

In September 2001, the Company announced that it would accelerate
the retirement of its remaining 50 owned Boeing 727-200 aircraft to
early 2002, ground all McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (DC9) aircraft by the
end of October 2001, and immediately ground eight McDonnell Douglas
MD-80 (MD80) aircraft. As a result, during the third quarter of
2001, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $73 million
related primarily to future lease commitments on the DC9 and MD80
operating leased aircraft past the dates they were removed from
service, lease return and storage costs, and the write-down of one
owned MD80 aircraft to its estimated fair value. Cash outlays
during 2002 related to the accelerated retirement of these operating
leased DC9 and MD80 aircraft total $17 million.

In determining the asset impairment charges described above,
management estimated the undiscounted future cash flows utilizing
models used by the Company in making fleet and scheduling decisions.
In determining the fair value of these aircraft, the Company
considered outside third party appraisals and recent transactions
involving sales of similar aircraft. In 2002, the Company also
considered internal valuation models in determining the fair value
of these aircraft, and with respect to the Fokker 100 aircraft,
incorporated the fact that with this grounding, no major airline
will operate this fleet type. As a result of the write-down of
these aircraft to fair value, as well as the acceleration of the
retirement dates and changes in salvage values, depreciation and
amortization will decrease from the amounts recognized in the third
quarter of 2002 by approximately $20 million on an annualized basis.

Facility exit costs

In response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Company
announced that it would discontinue service at Dallas Love Field and
discontinue or reduce service on several of its international
routes. In addition, the Company announced it would close six
Admiral's Clubs, five airport Platinum Service Centers and
approximately 105 off-airport Travel Centers in 37 cities, all
effective September 28, 2001. As a result of these announcements,
during the third quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a $61 million
charge related primarily to future lease commitments and the write-
off of leasehold improvements and fixed assets. Cash outlays during
2002 related to these accruals total $3 million.

Employee charges

On August 13, 2002, the Company announced that it would reduce an
estimated 7,000 jobs by March 2003 to realign its workforce with the
planned capacity reductions, fleet simplification, and hub
restructurings. This reduction in workforce, which will affect all
work groups (pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, fleet service
clerks, agents, management and support staff personnel), will be
accomplished through various measures, including limited voluntary
programs, leaves of absence, part-time work schedules, furloughs in
accordance with collective bargaining agreements, and permanent
layoffs. As a result, during the third quarter of 2002, the Company
recorded an employee charge of approximately $57 million primarily
related to voluntary programs in accordance with collective
bargaining agreements with its pilot and flight attendant work
groups. Cash outlays for the employee charge will be incurred over
a period of up to twelve months and will approximate the amount of
the charge recorded. In addition, the Company expects to incur
additional employee charges related to this reduction in workforce
in the fourth quarter of 2002.

On September 19, 2001, the Company announced that it would be forced
to reduce its workforce by approximately 20,000 jobs across all work
groups. This reduction in workforce, which the Company accomplished
through various measures, including leaves of absence, job sharing,
elimination of open positions, furloughs in accordance with
collective bargaining agreements, and permanent layoffs, resulted
from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the Company's
subsequent reduction of its operating schedule by approximately 20
percent. In connection therewith, during the third quarter of 2001,
the Company recorded a charge of approximately $55 million for
employee termination benefits. Cash outlays for the employee
charges were incurred substantially during the fourth quarter of
2001.

3.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 AMR, 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. During the third quarter of 2002,
the Company completed its impairment analysis related to its $1.4
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 AMR 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 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 $988 million ($6.36 per share,
net of a tax benefit of $363 million) to write-off all of AMR'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.

The following table provides information relating to the Company's
amortized intangible assets as of September 30, 2002 (in millions):

Accumulated Net Book
Cost Amortization Value
Amortized intangible assets:
Airport operating rights $ 516 $ 173 $ 343
Gate lease rights 204 77 127
Total $ 720 $ 250 $ 470

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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, the
Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $7 million
and $22 million, respectively, related to these intangible assets.
The Company expects to record annual amortization expense of
approximately $29 million in each of the next five years related to
these intangible assets.

The pro forma effect of discontinuing amortization of goodwill and
route acquisition costs under SFAS 142 - assuming the Company had
adopted this standard as of January 1, 2001 - results in an adjusted
net loss of approximately $404 million, or $2.62 per share, and
approximately $936 million, or $6.07 per share, respectively, for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001.

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.

4.Accumulated depreciation of owned equipment and property at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $8.2 billion and $8.9
billion, respectively. Accumulated amortization of equipment and
property under capital leases at September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001 was approximately $945 million and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Receivables, net at September 30, 2002 includes a receivable from
the U.S. Government of $567 million as a result of a provision in
the recently passed economic stimulus package regarding net
operating loss carrybacks.

5.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):

Nine Months Ended

Operating revenues $ 16,026

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been

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.

6.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 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, 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.

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.

7.As of September 30, 2002, the Company had commitments to acquire
the following aircraft: 47 Boeing 737-800s, 11 Boeing 777-200ERs, 9
Boeing 767-300ERs, 102 Embraer regional jets and 20 Bombardier CRJ-
700s. Deliveries of these aircraft are scheduled to continue through
2010. Payments for these aircraft are expected to be approximately
$209 million during the remainder of 2002, $1.1 billion in 2003, $696
million in 2004 and an aggregate of approximately $3.3 billion in 2005
through 2010. These commitments and cash flows reflect agreements the
Company has with Boeing to defer 34 of its 2003 through 2005
deliveries to 2007 and beyond.

AMR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In addition to these deferrals, Boeing has agreed to provide backstop
financing for certain aircraft deliveries in 2003. In return,
American has agreed to grant Boeing a security interest in certain
advance payments previously made and in certain rights under
the aircraft purchase agreement between American and Boeing.

Approximately $740 million of special facility revenue bonds, issued by
local municipalities to purchase equipment and improve facilities that are
leased to American under operating lease agreements, contain mandatory tender
provisions that require American to repurchase the bonds at various times
through 2008, including $200 million in November 2003. These special
facility revenue bonds are guaranteed by American, AMR or both. Although
American has the right to remarket the bonds there can be no assurance
that these bonds will be successfully remarketed. Any payments to
purchase bonds that are not remarketed would be considered prepaid
facility rentals and would reduce future operating lease commitments.

8.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 Company has recorded the total
amount of the issuance of $284 million (net of $13 million discount)
as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of
September 30, 2002. These obligations bear interest at fixed rates,
with an average effective rate of 7.88 percent, and mature over
various periods of time, with a final maturity in 2024. The Company
has received approximately $237 million in reimbursements of facility
construction costs and other items through September 30, 2002. The
remaining $47 million of the bond issuance proceeds not yet received,
classified as Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets, are held by the trustee and will be available to the Company
in the future.

In July 2002, the New York City Industrial Development Agency issued
facilities sublease revenue bonds at the John F. Kennedy
International Airport to provide reimbursement to American for
certain facility construction costs. The Company has recorded the
total amount of the issuance of $475 million (net of $25 million
discount) as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets as of September 30, 2002. These obligations bear interest at
fixed rates, with an average effective rate of 8.97 percent, and
mature in 2012 and 2028. The Company has received approximately
$372 million in reimbursements of facility construction costs and
other items through September 30, 2002. The remaining $103 million
of the bond issuance proceeds not yet received, classified as Other
assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are held by the
trustee and will be available to the Company in the future.

In September 2002, American issued $617 million of enhanced
equipment trust certificates secured by aircraft, with interest
based on London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread and
maturities over various periods, with a final maturity in 2007.

In addition, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002,
American and AMR Eagle borrowed approximately $915 million under
various debt agreements which are secured by aircraft. Effective
interest rates on these agreements are fixed or variable based on
LIBOR plus a spread and mature over various periods of time through
2017. At September 30, 2002, the effective interest rates on these
debt agreements and the enhanced equipment trust certificates
described above ranged up to 3.89 percent.

Including the impact of the above transactions, the Company's
maturities of total long-term debt (including sinking fund
requirements) for the next five years are: remainder of 2002 - $106
million; 2003 - $562 million; 2004 - $471 million; 2005 - $1.3
billion; 2006 - $1.0 billion.

9.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 loss. For the three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive loss was $897
million and $511 million, respectively. In addition, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive loss was
$2,881 million and $990 million, respectively. The difference between
net loss and comprehensive loss is due primarily to the accounting for
the Company's derivative financial instruments under SFAS 133. In
addition, the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 includes the
cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 133.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company discontinued entering
into new foreign exchange currency put option agreements. All
remaining foreign currency put option agreements expired on or
before September 30, 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

Summary AMR Corporation's (AMR or the Company) net loss during the
third quarter of 2002 was $924 million, or $5.93 per share, as
compared to a net loss of $414 million, or $2.68 per share for the
same period in 2001. AMR's operating loss of $1,321 million increased
by $763 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 and the resulting effect on the economy and the
air transportation industry. On August 13, 2002, the Company
announced a series of initiatives to reduce its costs, reduce
capacity, simplify its aircraft fleet, and enhance productivity.
These initiatives include, among other things, de-peaking of the
Company's Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport hub; gradually
phasing out operation of its Fokker aircraft fleet; reducing capacity
in the fourth quarter of 2002; and reducing an estimated 7,000 jobs by
March 2003. As a result, during the third quarter of 2002, the
Company recorded approximately $718 million of charges relating to
this announcement and related revisions to the Company's fleet plan.
On September 11, 2001, two of American's aircraft were hijacked and
destroyed in terrorist attacks on The World Trade Center in New York
City and the Pentagon in northern Virginia. On the same day, two
United Air Lines aircraft were also hijacked and used in terrorist
attacks. In response to the terrorist attacks, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) issued a federal ground stop order on September
11, 2001, prohibiting all flights to, from, and within the United
States. Airports did not reopen until September 13, 2001 (except for
Washington Reagan National Airport, which was partially reopened on
October 4, 2001). The Company was able to operate only a portion of
its scheduled flights for several days thereafter. When flights were
permitted to resume, passenger traffic and yields on the Company's
flights were significantly lower than prior to the attacks. As a
result, the Company announced that it would reduce its operating
schedule to approximately 80 percent of the schedule it flew prior to
September 11, 2001. Therefore, during the third quarter of 2001, the
Company recorded approximately $632 million of charges related to the
events of September 11, 2001. In addition, during the third quarter
of 2001, the Company recorded an $809 million benefit recognized for
the reimbursement from the U.S. Government under the Air
Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (the Act). For
additional information related to the August 13, 2002 announcement and
the events of September 11, 2001, see Note 2 in the condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Although traffic has continued to increase on significantly reduced
capacity since the events of September 11, 2001, the Company's third
quarter 2002 revenues were down quarter-over-quarter. 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, the geographic distribution of the Company's
network and reduced fares. In total, the Company's revenues decreased
$322 million, or 6.7 percent, in the third quarter of 2002 as compared
to the same period last year. American's passenger revenues decreased
by 6.9 percent, or $277 million in the third quarter of 2002 from the
same period in 2001. American's domestic revenue per available seat
mile (RASM) decreased 6.2 percent, to 7.79 cents, on a capacity
decrease of .7 percent, to 32.9 billion available seat miles (ASMs).
International RASM decreased to 9.15 cents, or 1.5 percent, on a
capacity decrease of 5.5 percent. The decrease in international RASM
was due to a 9.3 percent decrease in Latin American RASM, offset by a
6.6 percent and 5.6 percent increase in Pacific and European RASM,
respectively. The decrease in international capacity was driven by a
17.4 percent and 9.3 percent reduction in Pacific and European ASMs,
respectively, slightly offset by a 1.0 percent increase in Latin
American ASMs,

AMR Eagle's passenger revenues increased 1.2 percent, or $4 million.
AMR Eagle's traffic increased 11.2 percent while capacity remained
flat at approximately 1.7 billion ASMs.

Cargo revenues decreased $19 million, or 12.0 percent, primarily due
to the same reasons as noted above.

Other revenues decreased 10.4 percent, or $30 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.

-11-
14
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company's operating expenses increased 8.2 percent, or $441
million. American's cost per ASM decreased 6.0 percent to 10.38
cents, excluding the impact of the 2002 and 2001 Special charges - net
of U.S. Government grant. Wages, salaries and benefits decreased 0.6
percent, or $12 million reflecting (i) a decrease in the average
number of equivalent employees, somewhat offset by higher salaries,
and (ii) increases in the Company's pension and health insurance
costs, the latter reflecting rapidly rising medical care and
prescription drug costs. Aircraft fuel expense decreased 10.2
percent, or $79 million, due primarily to a 6.3 percent decrease in
the Company's fuel consumption and a 4.1 percent decrease in the
Company's average price per gallon of fuel. Maintenance, materials
and repairs decreased 13.0 percent, or $43 million, due primarily to a
decrease in airframe and engine volumes at the Company's maintenance
bases. Food service decreased 9.6 percent, or $20 million, due
primarily to the Company's reduced operating schedule and change in
level of food service. Commissions to agents decreased 48.3 percent,
or $100 million, due primarily to a 6.2 percent decrease in passenger
revenues and commission structure changes implemented in March 2002.
Special charges - net of U.S. Government grant for the third quarter
2002 include: (i) approximately $658 million related to aircraft
charges, including a charge of $370 million related to aircraft
impairments, (ii) approximately $57 million in employee charges and $3
million in other charges, and (iii) a $10 million benefit recognized
for the reimbursement from the U.S. Government under the Act.
Comparatively, the third quarter 2001 amounts include: (i)
approximately $496 million related to aircraft impairments and
groundings, (ii) $61 million in facility exit costs, approximately $55
million in employee charges, $20 million in other charges, and (iii)
an $809 million benefit recognized for the reimbursement from the U.S.
Government under the Act. For additional information, see Note 2 in
the condensed consolidated financial statements. Other operating
expenses decreased 13.6 percent, or $132 million, due primarily to
decreases in contract maintenance work that American performs for
other airlines, and decreases in travel and incidental costs, credit
card and booking fees, advertising and promotion costs, and data
processing expenses, which were partially offset by higher insurance
and security costs.

Other income (expense) increased $50 million due primarily to the
following: Interest expense increased $49 million, or 40.2 percent,
resulting primarily from the increase in the Company's long-term debt.
Interest capitalized decreased $14 million, or 37.8 percent, due
primarily to a decrease in purchase deposits for flight equipment.
Miscellaneous-net increased $11 million, due primarily to earnings on
equity investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

Summary AMR's loss before cumulative effect of accounting change for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.0 billion, or $12.83
per share, as compared to a net loss of $964 million, or $6.26 per
share, for the same period in 2001. AMR's operating loss for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.7 billion, compared to an
operating loss of $1.3 billion for the same period in 2001. The
Company's 2002 results continue to be adversely impacted by the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the resulting effect on the
economy and the air transportation industry. On April 9, 2001, Trans
World Airlines LLC (TWA LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR)
purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA). Accordingly, the
operating results of TWA LLC are included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2002 whereas for 2001 the results of TWA LLC were
included only for the period April 10, 2001 through September 30,
2001. All references to American Airlines, Inc. include the
operations of TWA LLC since April 10, 2001 (collectively, American).
On August 13, 2002, the Company announced a series of initiatives to
reduce its costs, reduce capacity, simplify its aircraft fleet, and
enhance productivity. These initiatives include, among other things,
de-peaking of the Company's Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
hub; gradually phasing out operation of its Fokker aircraft fleet;
reducing capacity in the fourth quarter of 2002; and reducing an
estimated 7,000 jobs by March 2003. As a result, during 2002, the
Company recorded approximately $718 million of charges relating to
this announcement and related revisions to the Company's fleet plan.
In addition, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $988
million (net of tax), effective January 1, 2002, reflected as a
cumulative effect of accounting change, to write-off all of AMR's
goodwill. On September 11, 2001, two of American's aircraft were
hijacked and destroyed in terrorist attacks on The World Trade Center
in New York City and the Pentagon in northern Virginia. On the same
day, two United Air Lines aircraft were also hijacked and used in
terrorist attacks. In response to the terrorist attacks, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a federal ground stop order on
September 11, 2001, prohibiting all flights to, from, and within the
United States. Airports did not reopen until September 13, 2001
(except for Washington Reagan National Airport, which was partially
reopened on October 4, 2001). The Company was able to operate only a
portion of its scheduled flights for several days thereafter. When
flights were permitted to resume, passenger traffic and yields on the
Company's flights were significantly lower than prior to the attacks.
As a result, the Company announced that it would reduce its operating
schedule to approximately 80 percent of the schedule it flew prior to
September 11, 2001. Therefore, the Company's 2001 results include
approximately $632 million of charges related to the events of
September 11, 2001. In addition, the Company's 2001 results include
an $809 million benefit recognized for the reimbursement from the U.S.
Government under the Act, a $685 million asset impairment charge
(recorded in the second quarter of 2001) and a $45 million dollar gain
(recorded in the second quarter of 2001) from the settlement of a
legal matter related to the Company's 1999 labor disruption. For
additional information related to the August 13, 2002 announcement,
the events of September 11, 2001, and the second quarter 2001 asset
impairment charge, see Note 2 in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

Although traffic has continued to increase on significantly reduced
capacity since the events of September 11, 2001, the Company's 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, the geographic distribution of the Company's
network and reduced fares. In total, the Company's revenues decreased
$2,050 million, or 13.5 percent, in 2002 versus the same period in
2001. American's passenger revenues decreased by 12.9 percent, or
$1,626 million in 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
American's domestic RASM decreased 11.1 percent, to 8.30 cents, on a
capacity decrease of 0.5 percent, to 94.3 billion ASMs. International
RASM decreased to 8.84 cents, or 5.5 percent, on a capacity decrease
of 11.1 percent. The decrease in international RASM was due to a 9.8
percent and 3.0 percent decrease in Latin American and European RASM,
respectively, slightly offset by a 6.0 percent increase in Pacific
RASM. The decrease in international capacity was driven by a 29.9
percent, 13.1 percent and 5.2 percent reduction in Pacific, European
and Latin American ASMs, respectively.

AMR Eagle's passenger revenues decreased 10.0 percent, or $110
million. AMR Eagle's traffic increased 6.9 percent while capacity
decreased 2.1 percent, to approximately 4.8 billion ASMs. As with
American, the decrease in AMR Eagle's revenues was due primarily to
the continued impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and
the economic slowdown.

-14-
17
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Cargo revenues decreased $109 million, or 20.8 percent, primarily due
to the same reasons as noted above.

Other revenues decreased 22.2 percent, or $205 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 decreased 4.4 percent, or
approximately $721 million. American's cost per ASM decreased by 1.7
percent to 10.80 cents, excluding the impact of 2002 and 2001 special
charges - net of U.S. Government grant. Wages, salaries and benefits
increased 5.4 percent, or $322 million, reflecting (i) a decrease in
the average number of equivalent employees, somewhat offset by higher
salaries, and (ii) increases in the Company's pension and health
insurance costs, the latter reflecting rapidly rising medical care and
prescription drug costs. Aircraft fuel expense decreased 19.1
percent, or $445 million, due primarily to an 11.9 percent decrease in
the Company's average price per gallon of fuel and a 6.5 percent
decrease in the Company's fuel consumption. Aircraft rentals
increased $46 million, or 7.6 percent, due primarily the addition of
TWA aircraft. Food service decreased 11.8 percent, or $72 million,
due primarily to the Company's reduced operating schedule and change
in level of food service. Commissions to agents decreased 38.8
percent, or $268 million, due primarily to a 12.7 percent decrease in
passenger revenues and commission structure changes implemented in
March 2002. Special charges - net of U.S. Government grant for 2002
include: (i) approximately $658 million related to aircraft charges,
including a charge of $370 million related to aircraft impairments,
(ii) approximately $57 million in employee charges and $3 million in
other charges, and (iii) a $10 million benefit recognized for the
reimbursement from the U.S. Government under the Act. Comparatively,
the 2001 amounts include: (i) a $685 million asset impairment charge
recorded in the second quarter of 2001 related to the write-down of
the carrying value of its Fokker 100, Saab 340 and ATR-42 aircraft and
related rotables; (ii) third quarter 2001 charges including
approximately $496 million related to aircraft impairments and
groundings, (ii) $61 million in facility exit costs, approximately $55
million in employee charges, $20 million in other charges, and (iii)
an $809 million benefit recognized for the reimbursement from the U.S.
Government under the Act. For additional information, see Note 2 in
the condensed consolidated financial statements. Other operating
expenses decreased 14.8 percent, or $428 million, due primarily to
decreases in contract maintenance work that American performs for
other airlines, and decreases in travel and incidental costs, credit
card and booking fees, advertising and promotion costs, and data
processing expenses, which were partially offset by higher insurance
and security costs.

Other income (expense) increased $217 million due to the following:
Interest income decreased 32.5 percent, or $26 million, due primarily
to decreases in interest rates. Interest expense increased $128
million, or 34.3 percent, resulting primarily from the increase in the
Company's long-term debt. Interest capitalized decreased $49 million,
or 42.2 percent, due primarily to a decrease in purchase deposits for
flight equipment. Miscellaneous-net decreased $14 million due
primarily to a $45 million gain recorded during the second quarter of
2001 from the settlement of a legal matter related to the Company's
1999 labor disruption and the write-down of certain investments held
by the Company during the first quarter of 2001.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
was impacted by a $57 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used by operating activities in the nine month period ended
September 30, 2002 was $472 million, compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $1.3 billion for the same period in 2001, a
decrease of $1.8 billion, due primarily to an increase in the
Company's net loss. Included in net cash provided by operating
activities during the first nine months of 2002 was approximately $658
million received by the Company as a result of the utilization of its
2001 NOL's. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2002
were $1.5 billion, and included the acquisition of seven Boeing 757-
200s, three Boeing 777-200ERs, 22 Embraer 140s and four Bombardier CRJ-
700 aircraft. These capital expenditures were financed primarily
through secured mortgage and debt agreements. Proceeds from the sale
of equipment and property of $193 million include the proceeds
received upon delivery of three McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft to
FedEx.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had commitments to acquire the
following aircraft: 47 Boeing 737-800s, 11 Boeing 777-200ERs, 9 Boeing
767-300ERs, 102 Embraer regional jets and 20 Bombardier CRJ-700s.
Deliveries of these aircraft are scheduled to continue through 2010.
Payments for these aircraft are expected to be approximately $209
million during the remainder of 2002, $1.1 billion in 2003, $696
million in 2004 and an aggregate of approximately $3.3 billion in 2005
through 2010. These commitments and cash flows reflect agreements the
Company has with Boeing to defer 34 of its 2003 through 2005
deliveries to 2007 and beyond.

In addition to these deferrals, Boeing has agreed to provide backstop
financing for certain aircraft deliveries in 2003. In return, American
has agreed to grant Boeing a security interest in certain advance payments
previously made and in certain rights under the aircraft purchase agreement
between American and Boeing.

In June 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded the credit ratings of AMR
and American, and the credit ratings of a number of other major
airlines. The long-term credit ratings of AMR and American were
removed from Standard & Poor's Credit Watch with negative implications
and were given a negative outlook. Furthermore, in September 2002,
Moody's downgraded the unsecured credit ratings of both AMR and
American and has a negative outlook on these ratings. These
reductions in the Company's credit ratings have increased its
borrowing costs. Any additional reductions in AMR's or American's
credit ratings could further increase its borrowing costs and might
limit the availability of future financing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

In the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, the Company has
raised substantial amounts of funding to finance capital commitments
and day-to-day operations. The Company expects that it will continue
to need to raise significant additional financing in the future to
cover its liquidity needs. In addition to the Company's approximately
$2.8 billion in cash and short-term investments as of September 30,
2002, the Company has available a variety of future financing sources,
including, but not limited to: (i) additional secured aircraft debt,
(ii) sale-leaseback transactions of owned property, including aircraft
and real estate, (iii) the recovery of a $567 million receivable from
the U.S. Government related to a provision in the recently passed
economic stimulus package regarding NOL carrybacks, (iv) tax-exempt
borrowings for airport facilities, (v) securitization of future
operating receipts, (vi) unsecured borrowings, and (vii) the potential
sale of certain non-core assets. No assurance can be given that any
of these financing sources will be available or will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company. However, the Company believes it
will meet its current financing needs.

During 2002, American issued $617 million of enhanced equipment trust
certificates secured by aircraft, with interest based on London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread and maturities over
various periods, with a final maturity in 2007. Upon the completion
of this financing, a $1 billion credit facility, established in late
2001 to serve as a bridge for this financing, expired undrawn on
September 30, 2002. Also during 2002, the Company entered into
approximately $915 million of various debt agreements secured by
aircraft. Effective rates on these agreements are fixed or variable
based on LIBOR plus a spread and mature over various periods of time
through 2017. At September 30, 2002, the effective interest rates on
these debt agreements and the enhanced equipment trust certificates
described above ranged up to 3.89 percent.

During 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 Company has recorded the total
amount of the issuance of $284 million (net of $13 million discount)
as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of
September 30, 2002. These obligations bear interest at fixed rates,
with an average effective rate of 7.88 percent, and mature over
various periods of time, with a final maturity in 2024. The Company
has received approximately $237 million in reimbursements of facility
construction costs and other items through September 30, 2002. The
remaining $47 million of the bond issuance proceeds not yet received,
classified as Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets, are held by the trustee and will be available to the Company
in the future. In addition, in July 2002, the New York City
Industrial Development Agency issued facilities sublease revenue bonds
at the John F. Kennedy International Airport to provide reimbursement
to American for certain facility construction costs. The Company has
recorded the total amount of the issuance of $475 million (net of $25
million discount) as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets as of September 30, 2002. These obligations bear
interest at fixed rates, with an average effective rate of 8.97
percent, and mature in 2012 and 2028. The Company has received
approximately $372 million in reimbursements of facility construction
costs and other items through September 30, 2002. The remaining $103
million of the bond issuance proceeds not yet received, classified as
Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are held by
the trustee and will be available to the Company in the future.

Pursuant to the Act, the Government made available to air carriers,
subject to certain conditions, up to $10 billion in federal government
guarantees of certain loans. American did not seek such loan
guarantees.

OTHER INFORMATION

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 December 15, 2002 with a third party liability
policy to cover losses to persons other than employees or passengers.
In the event the commercial insurance carriers reduce further the
amount of insurance coverage available to the Company or further
significantly increase the cost of aviation insurance, or if the
Government fails to renew the war-risk insurance that it provides, the
Company's operations and/or financial position and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected.

OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)

As discussed in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K, a provision in the
current Allied Pilots Association (APA) contract freezes the number of
ASMs and block hours flown under American's two letter marketing code
(AA) by American's regional carrier partners when American pilots are
on furlough (the ASM cap). As AMR Eagle continues to accept
previously ordered regional jets, this ASM cap was reached in 2002,
necessitating actions to insure compliance with the ASM cap. These
actions as well as additional potential actions in respect to the ASM
cap are discussed in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K. In addition,
American has removed its code from some flights of the
AmericanConnection carriers, which are independent carriers that
provide feed to American's St. Louis hub, and will continue to remove
its codes from additional flights of the carriers as warranted.
American believes that the combination of these actions will enable
it to continue to comply with this ASM cap through 2002 and for
sometime beyond.

In addition, another provision in the current APA contract limits the
total number of regional jets with more than 44 seats flown under the
American code by American's regional carrier partners to 67 aircraft.
Similar to the above, as AMR Eagle continues to accept previously
ordered Bombardier CRJ aircraft, this cap would be reached in early
2003. In order to ensure American remains in compliance with this
provision, AMR Eagle has reached an agreement in principle to dispose
of 14 Embraer 145 aircraft. Ultimately, these airplanes will be
acquired by Trans States Airlines, an AmericanConnection carrier.
Trans States Airlines will operate these aircraft under its two letter
airline code (AX) and expects to deploy these aircraft at its St.
Louis hub where it feeds American. The potential transaction still
requires the consent of certain third parties, including the companies
financing these aircraft, and is subject to the negotiation of final
documentation.

The Company believes that if actual investment returns continue at
current levels and interest rates remain unchanged through the rest of
the year, it will be required to record a significant minimum pension
liability as of December 31, 2002. The minimum pension liability would
reflect the amount that the pension plans' accumulated benefit
obligation exceeds the plans' assets in excess of amounts previously
accrued for pension costs. A large portion of the charge would be
recorded as a reduction to stockholders' equity, as a component of
accumulated comprehensive loss, net of any available tax benefit.
Although the exact amount of the charge to stockholders' equity is not
known at this time, it will likely exceed $1 billion (before tax). As
of December 31, 2001, the Company's minimum pension liability reduced
stockholders' equity by approximately $172 million (before tax). This
charge to stockholders' equity will not affect the Company's financial
covenants in any of its credit agreements.

Furthermore, given the Company's current financial situation, a
deferred tax asset valuation allowance may be necessary. In
determining whether a deferred tax asset valuation allowance is
necessary, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the Company's deferred tax assets will not
be realized. Although a valuation allowance is not necessary as of
September 30, 2002, due to the existence of available deferred tax
liabilities, it is likely that beginning late in the fourth quarter of
2002 or early in the first quarter of 2003 a valuation allowance will
be necessary. In effect the Company would not be able to recognize a
tax benefit of losses incurred, resulting in larger reported net
losses.

21
FOURTH QUARTER OUTLOOK

Capacity for American is expected to be up approximately six percent
in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to last year's fourth quarter
levels, and down 13 percent from the fourth quarter of 2000.
AMR Eagle's fourth quarter capacity will be up about ten percent from
last year's levels, and down one percent from the fourth quarter of
2000. For the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company expects traffic to
be up approximately thirteen percent from last year's fourth quarter
levels, and down 15 percent from the fourth quarter of 2000. Pressure
to reduce costs will continue, although the Company will continue to
see higher benefit and security costs, increased insurance premiums,
and greater interest expense. In addition, the Company expects to see
a 23 percent increase in fuel prices as compared to the fourth quarter
of 2001 and a continued decline in commission expense due to the
commission changes implemented earlier in 2002. In total, American's
unit costs, excluding special charges, for the fourth quarter of 2002
are expected to be down approximately three percent from last year's
fourth quarter level. Notwithstanding the expected decrease in unit
costs however, given the revenue pressures expected to continue into
the fourth quarter and the current level of fuel prices, the Company
expects to incur a significant loss in the fourth quarter, likely in
excess of the third quarter loss excluding special charges.

In response to these financial challenges, the Company is continuing
its comprehensive review of its business to better align its cost
structure with the current revenue environment, aimed at improving
productivity, simplifying operations and reducing costs.

In addition, on August 13, 2002, the Company announced a series of
short- and long- term initiatives to reduce its costs, reduce
capacity, simplify its aircraft fleet, and enhance productivity.
These initiatives include, among other things, de-peaking of the
Company's Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport hub (following the
de-peaking of its Chicago hub in April 2002) by scheduling flights
into and out of the hub more continuously, with flights spread out
more evenly through the day; gradually phasing out operation of its
Fokker aircraft fleet by 2005; and reducing capacity in the fourth
quarter of 2002. By de-peaking its Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago hubs
the Company believes it can more productively use its employees,
gates, and aircraft. In addition, the Company announced that it would
reduce an estimated 7,000 jobs by March 2003 to realign its workforce
with the planned capacity reductions, fleet simplification, and hub
restructurings. American subsequently announced that it expects full
year capacity for 2003 to be down about three percent from 2002,
giving effect to the capacity reduction described above. Although
American expects these initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce
operating costs, there can be no assurance that these initiatives will
be successful or sufficient.

OTHER RISK FACTORS

As a result of weak domestic and international economic conditions,
reduced fares, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the
airline industry as a whole suffered substantial losses in 2001, and
is expected to suffer significant losses for 2002. Many airlines, in
addition to American, have announced reductions in capacity, service
and workforce in response to the industry-wide reductions in passenger
demand and yields. In addition, since September 11, 2001 several air
carriers have sought to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code, including US Airways, Inc. (US Airways), the
seventh largest domestic air carrier. More recently, United Air
Lines, Inc. (United), the second largest domestic air carrier, has
publicly stated that, if it is not able to realize substantial cost
savings from its current cost savings initiatives, it may be forced to
reorganize under the Bankruptcy Code. Successful completion of such
reorganizations could present American with competitors with
significantly lower operating costs derived from labor, supply, and
financing contracts renegotiated under the protection of the
Bankruptcy Code. In addition, historically, air carriers involved in
reorganizations have undertaken substantial fare discounting in order
to maintain cash flows and to enhance continued customer loyalty.
Such fare discounting could further lower yields for all carriers,
including American. Further, the market value of aircraft would
likely be negatively impacted if a number of air carriers, including
US Airways and United, seek to reduce capacity by eliminating aircraft
from their fleets.

Moreover, the increased threat of U.S. military involvement in
overseas operations (including, for example, the hostilities in
Afghanistan and the threat of war with Iraq) could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's business, financial position
(including access to capital markets) and results of operations and on
the airline industry in general.

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 money 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, and on September 23, 2002, the
parties presented oral arguments to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals,
which has not yet issued its decision. 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 (see above description). 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.

24
Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued)

On May 17, 2002, the named plaintiffs in Hall, et al. v. United
Airlines, et al., pending in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina, filed an amended complaint
alleging that between 1995 and the present, American and over 15 other
defendant airlines conspired to reduce commissions paid to U.S.-based
travel agents in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The court
granted class action certification to the plaintiff on September 17,
2002, defining the plaintiff class as all travel agents in the United
States, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands, who, at any
time from October 1, 1997, to the present, issued tickets,
miscellaneous change orders, or prepaid ticket advices for travel on
any of the defendant airlines. American is vigorously defending the
lawsuit. Trial is set for April 29, 2003. A final adverse court
decision awarding substantial money damages or placing restrictions on
the Company's commission policies or practices would have an adverse
impact on the Company.

On April 26, 2002, six travel agencies filed Albany Travel Co., et al.
v. Orbitz, LLC, et al., in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California against American, United Air Lines,
Delta Air Lines, and Orbitz, LLC, alleging that American and the other
defendants: (i) conspired to prevent travel agents from acting as
effective competitors in the distribution of airline tickets to
passengers in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act; and
(ii) conspired to monopolize the distribution of common carrier air
travel between airports in the United States in violation of Section 2
of the Sherman Act. The named plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide
class of travel agents, but no class has yet been certified. American
is vigorously defending the lawsuit, which is set for trial July 9,
2003. A final adverse court decision awarding substantial money
damages or placing restrictions on the Company's distribution
practices would have an adverse impact on the Company.

On April 25, 2002, a collection of 38 Quebec travel agencies filed
Voyages Montambault (1989), Inc. v. International Air Transport
Association, et al., seeking a declaratory judgment of the Superior
Court in Montreal, Canada that American and the other airline
defendants owe a "fair and reasonable commission" to the agencies, and
that American and the other airline defendants breached alleged
contracts with these agencies by adopting policies of not paying base
commissions. The defendants are the International Air Transport
Association, the Air Transport Association, Air Canada, American,
America West, Delta Air Lines, Grupo TACA, Northwest Airlines/KLM
Airlines, United Air Lines, US Airways, and Continental Airlines.
American is vigorously defending the lawsuit. A final adverse court
decision granting declaratory relief could expose the Company to
claims for substantial money damages or force the Company to pay
agency commissions, either of which would have an adverse impact
on the Company.

On May 13, 2002, the named plaintiffs in Always Travel, et. al. v. Air
Canada, et. al., pending in the Federal Court of Canada, Trial
Division, Montreal, filed a statement of claim alleging that between
1995 and the present, American, the other defendant airlines, and the
International Air Transport Association conspired to reduce
commissions paid to Canada-based travel agents in violation of
Section 45 of the Competition Act of Canada. The named plaintiffs
seek 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 or
placing restrictions on the Company's commission policies would have
an adverse impact on the Company.

On August 14, 2002, a class action lawsuit was filed against American
Airlines, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, Western Division (All World Professional
Travel Services, Inc. v. American Airlines, Inc.). The lawsuit
alleges that requiring travel agencies to pay debit memos for
refunding tickets after September 11, 2001: (1) breaches the Agent
Reporting Agreement between American and plaintiff; (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 or will be required to pay
moneys to American for an "administrative service charge," "penalty
fee," or other fee for processing refunds on behalf of passengers who
were unable to use their tickets in the days immediately following the
tragedies on September 11, 2001. The plaintiff seeks to enjoin
American from collecting the debit memos and to recover the amounts
paid for the 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.

-22-
25
Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued)

On August 19, 2002, a U.S. travel agency filed Power Travel
International, Inc. v. American Airlines, Inc., et al., in New York
state court against American, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines,
JetBlue Airways, United Air Lines, and Northwest Airlines, alleging
that American and the other defendants breached their contracts with
the agency as well as the duty of good faith and fair dealing when
these carriers at various times reduced base commissions to zero. The
plaintiff seeks to certify a nationwide class of travel agents, but no
class has yet been certified. The plaintiff dismissed JetBlue from the
lawsuit, and the remaining defendants removed the lawsuit to the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
American is vigorously defending the lawsuit. A final adverse court
decision awarding substantial money damages or forcing the Company to
pay agency commissions would have an adverse impact on the Company.

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.
