AMERICANWAY

American Insight T HIS DECEMBER marks the one-year anniversary of the close of the merger between American Airlines and US Airways, a significant moment in the airlines' rich, combined history. Since then, we have worked to align operations and bring together more than 100,000 employees for an important purpose: you, our valued customer. Several milestones highlight our progress over the past year: We announced reciprocal elite benefits in January 2014, allowing travelers with elite sta- tus on either airline to enjoy the perks they've earned on our expanded network. Later that month, the first US Airways air- craft painted in the American Airlines livery took to the skies, a markedly visual represen- tation of the airlines' combining efforts. American and US Airways established the world's largest codeshare in February 2014, providing travelers access to our vast com- bined network of nearly 6,500 daily flights to more than 275 destinations. US Airways joined the oneworld ® network on March 31, 2014, which added 50 destina- tions to the oneworld alliance and connected US Airways travelers with nearly 950 destina- tions in more than 150 countries via 15 of the world's leading airlines. On July 8, 2014, we broke ground on the Robert W. Baker Integrated Operations Center in Fort Worth, Texas, a facility that will bring together employees from both operations centers to oversee our entire network. At the end of October, we announced a combined frequent-flyer loyalty program that will bring AAdvantage ® and Dividend Miles® members together under the AAdvantage program in the second quarter of 2015. In just one year, we've aligned opera- tions at more than 80 airports, streamlining processes and making it easier for travelers on both airlines to find their way. This is just the beginning of our work toward restoring American as the greatest airline in the world. We're glad you're joining us on the journey.

We're excited to announce the return of four daily nonstop, round-trip flights between New York LaGuardia International (LGA) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL). More access to New York means more access to our strong domestic network out of LGA , which includes an hourly shuttle service on weekdays to Boston Logan International (BOS) and Washington Reagan International (DCA). In Atlanta, flying out of Concourse T allows travelers access to their gates without taking a train, and American ticket counters and check-in kiosks are close to dedicated T concourse North Terminal TSA Security Checkpoints.
