One year on from one of the largest corporate mergers in aviation history, American Airlines is promising passengers great improvements for the future.
“Now that we have the network to compete globally, we’re going to deliver a product that’s better than our competitors,” said Doug Parker, American Airlines chairman and CEO.
“Refreshed cabins and clubs, modernised ticket counters, improved technology and new aircraft are further examples of how American is ‘going for great’ – providing our outstanding team members the tools they need to deliver a great experience for our customers.”
These capital investments include fully lie-flat seats, international Wi-Fi, more in-flight entertainment options, a new design for Admirals Club lounges worldwide, and an upgraded assortment of complimentary healthy food and beverage options.
American closed the merger with US Airways on 9 December 2013, and has made significant progress in combining the two airlines.
Customers now have full access to the combined network thanks to the world’s largest codeshare. They can also earn and redeem miles on flights operated by American and US Airways and receive reciprocal access to clubs and upgrades.
Meanwhile, American has posted consistent profits and has begun returning cash to shareholders through a stock buyback and dividend program implemented earlier this year.
