American Airlines

American Airlines will reintroduce small fresh "bites" in first class on New York–Chicago flights starting this month, offering choices such as prosciutto and melon, apple cinnamon chia pudding, Thai noodle salad or a mezze plate. The carrier last offered fresh food on these routes in 2019 and had been serving a smaller packaged snack. The move is part of American's effort to win higher-spending customers after falling behind Delta and United in premium offerings and profitability. » Więcej na cnbc.com

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. » Więcej na 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. » Więcej na 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. » Więcej na 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. » Więcej na cbsnews.com
