FOR RELEASE: Friday, December 6, 2013
AMR CORPORATION REPORTS NOVEMBER 2013 REVENUE AND TRAFFIC RESULTS
Consolidated Traffic Decreased 1.1 Percent
FORT WORTH, Texas - AMR Corporation today reported November 2013 consolidated revenue and traffic results for its principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, AMR Eagle Holding Corporation.
November's consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increased an estimated 1.0 percent versus the same period last year. The year-over-year PRASM comparison was impacted by approximately 3.3 percentage points from reduced revenues in November 2012 associated with weather-related and operational disruptions that impacted bookings last year.
Consolidated traffic decreased 1.1 percent on a 1.8 percent increase in capacity year-over-year, resulting in a consolidated load factor of 78.4 percent, 2.3 points lower than the same period last year.
Domestic traffic was 3.6 percent lower year-over-year on 0.5 percent less capacity, resulting in a domestic load factor of 80.2 percent, 2.6 points lower compared to the same period last year.
International load factor of 76.8 percent was 2.1 points lower year-over-year, as traffic increased 1.9 percent on 4.8 percent more capacity. The Latin entity recorded the highest load factor of 77.4 percent, a decrease of 1.0 points versus November 2012.
On a consolidated basis, the company boarded 8.4 million passengers in November.
