American Airlines will increase the annual fee on the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard from $99 to $150 and raise the fee on the Citi AAdvantage Business Mastercard to $150, effective Jan. 24. The cards gain new benefits including 3x AAdvantage miles on hotels booked via American's portal, up to $120 every four years for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and a $100 annual in-flight purchase statement credit. The move, the first fee hike for these cards since 2018, follows similar increases by rival airlines and card issuers as rewards cards remain a major revenue source for carriers. » Mere på cnbc.com

American Airlines expects an adjusted loss per share of $1.00 to $1.60 due to sharply higher jet fuel prices and a fourth-quarter loss of up to $1.10. The airline issued its third profit warning of the year and expects roughly $2.8 billion higher fuel costs in Q4 year‑on‑year. Despite operating revenue rising to $16.3 billion in the third quarter, results fell as fuel costs increased to $4.6 billion and the quarterly loss widened from $114 million to $269 million. » Mere på finanzen.net

American Airlines expects a full-year adjusted loss of $1.00 to $1.60 per share for 2026, citing a spike in fuel costs that offset record revenue. The carrier reported third-quarter revenue of $16.34 billion, beating estimates, and an adjusted loss per share of $0.28 versus $0.35 expected. Management said commercial investments drove strong revenue growth but fuel headwinds will deepen the annual loss forecast. » Mere på cnbc.com

American Airlines will allow AAdvantage members to combine cash and miles to pay for domestic tickets (excludes Alaska and Hawaii) via its website and app, using an interactive slider to set the cash/miles split. The feature will roll out in the coming weeks and mirrors options already offered by Delta and United. The carrier also launched an Instant Status Pass promotion for flyers with competing status as it faces rising jet fuel-driven fares this season. » Mere på cbsnews.com

CEO Robert Isom said persistently high jet fuel—averaging $4.53 per gallon and up about 80% year‑over‑year amid Mideast tensions—may require adjustments to American Airlines' capacity planning and could lead to more route cancellations. The carrier has already scaled back several domestic and Middle Eastern routes, with significant reductions at LAX. Isom still expects third‑quarter revenue to rise 16–19% and highlighted that premium, high‑fare seats have driven a disproportionate share of revenue, while other major carriers echoed similar concerns about fuel‑driven capacity trimming and eventual fare increases. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
