American Airlines projected Tuesday that its focus on premium will “begin delivering results in 2026” as the carrier races to catch up to its far more profitable rivals and capitalize on strong demand from high-spending customers.
American posted net income of $99 million, or 15 cents per share, on revenue of $14 billion. Revenue was up 2.5% from last year. Excluding net special items, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of 16 cents.
