Welcome!

At American, we know that part of flying responsibly is ensuring that we minimize the environmental impacts associated with our operations—from pre-flight planning to well after our aircraft have delivered customers to their destinations.

On these webpages, you can read about the many steps we're taking to conserve energy, lower emissions, reduce and recycle waste, and work with our communities to preserve our planet's valuable resources.

We encourage you to explore the site and keep an eye out for new articles in the months to come. We also welcome your comments and invite your suggestions as to how we can further improve our environmental performance! Email us at Corporate.Environmental@aa.com.
