Statements in this report contain various forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the
Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in this
report, the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates" and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All such statements are
based on information available to the Company on the date of this report. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, regardless of reason. This discussion includes forecasts of costs per
ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel consumption, earnings, and
operational considerations, each of which is a forward-looking statement. There
are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from our forecasts. Such factors include, but are not limited to: general
economic conditions, competitive factors within the airline industry which could
affect the demand for air travel, changes in the Company's business strategy,
changes in commodity prices, the inability to successfully integrate the
operations of TWA into those of American and to improve their profitability,
higher than expected integration costs, and the inability to successfully
integrate the workforce of TWA. For additional information regarding these and
other factors see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
MONTHLY UPDATE
Attached is our monthly guidance on unit cost, fuel, traffic and capacity. As
with recent month's update, we are now including information for TWA LLC and
have included TWA in the AMR unit cost guidance.
As a follow-up to the recent series of aircraft retirement announcements, we
have also attached an updated fleet plan for American and TWA LLC.
Please call if you have additional questions.
