American Airlines

The past week has been challenging for the airline industry, including the #AATeam and our customers. Despite difficult circumstances, our team members have stepped up to take care of our customers throughout the shutdown-related travel disruptions. I’m proud of how our team has responded and remain truly grateful for the federal aviation workers who faced challenging conditions for weeks without pay, all to get travelers where they needed to go safely. Our priorities have been to take care of our customers and limit disruption to their travel plans as much as possible. That's the same approach we’ll take as we return to normal operations, which will mean predictability for our customers and our team. Because of our planning and work to minimize customer impacts throughout this period, we’re ready for business and expect to deliver a strong Thanksgiving operation. We look forward to welcoming you on board an American Airlines flight.

American is proud to support those who have served on this #VeteransDay and every day. Through our Military and Veterans Initiatives program, our team supports the military community throughout the year using the resources of an airline with the colors of our nation on our tails. From special charter flights to impactful partnerships with more than 50 military-related nonprofit organizations, including the Gary Sinise Foundation, USO and the Medal of Honor Foundation, the #AATeam is honored to give back to those who serve and sacrifice. It's because of them that we can fly freely around the world. #AAHeroes

Per FAA requirements, we have reduced flight schedules by 4% at 40 airports Friday, Nov. 7, through Monday, Nov. 10, amounting to about 220 flights canceled each day. Even with these cancellations, we plan to operate around 6,000 daily flights. We’re deeply grateful to federal aviation workers who continue working without pay to keep our skies safe. We encourage everyone to check their flight status on the American app or aa.com. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our newsroom: News.aa.com.

The final Soaring Valor flight on Sept. 5 marked the end of a remarkable partnership between American, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the National WWII Museum. Since 2015, the Soaring Valor program has honored more than 1,500 World War II veterans with charter flights to New Orleans, pairing them with high school students to preserve their stories and build intergenerational bonds. These journeys were more than flights — they were tributes to courage, sacrifice and the enduring impact of service. We’re proud of the team members and partners who made each mission unforgettable. Though the final flight has landed, the legacy of Soaring Valor will continue to inspire. #SoaringValor #Veterans #AAHeroes
