FOR RELEASE: Monday, Oct. 3, 2005



         AMERICAN AIRLINES REPORTS SEPTEMBER TRAFFIC

     FORT WORTH, Texas - American Airlines, the world's
largest airline, reported a September load factor of 76.2
percent - an increase of 2.8 points compared to the same
period last year.  Traffic grew by 9.1 percent year over
year, on a 5.0 percent capacity increase.
     International traffic and capacity increased 12.4
percent relative to last year.  Domestic traffic increased
7.3 percent year over year, with capacity increasing 1.4
percent.
     American boarded 7.5 million passengers in September.
     Despite improved traffic figures, the effects of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, including soaring jet fuel
prices, have had a significant negative impact on American's
third quarter results.  The company's prior cost and revenue
guidance remains unchanged.
     Detailed traffic and capacity data are on the following
pages:
