Fleet Renewal
American Airlines is taking significant steps to transform and enhance our fleet so that in five years, we will have U.S. airline industry's youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet. Our investment in our fleet is the latest in a series of strategic investments we feel are necessary to enhance the overall customer experience, as well as maintain and grow market share.

These aircraft enhance the customer experience and are much more fuel-efficient than the MD-80s, lowering our operating costs and helping to keep airfares as low as possible for customers.
