AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, has received approval from a bankruptcy court in New York yesterday to continue normal business operations during its planned restructuring process.
The company said that, as expected, American continued normal operations yesterday, with flights, reservations, baggage handling, customer service and other functions unaffected by the company’s filing for bankruptcy protection.
“American continues to make progress on our path to a successful future,” said Tom Horton, the new chairman, president & chief executive officer of AMR and American Airlines. “The court’s immediate approval of key motions ensures that customers around the world can continue to rely on American and [domestic carrier] American Eagle for safe, reliable and convenient air travel. As American’s employees have continued to demonstrate, we are committed to our customers and we are confident in our future.”
