American Airlines is the air carrier which has such a remarkable feature. It is the largest passenger air carrier in the world - and totally the second largest airline in the world after KLM-Air France, including other transportation services.
From the moment of creating in 1934, American Airlines fleet now has a plenty of Airbus and Boeing aircrafts with a great deal of McDonnell Douglas MD-80 planes, which are mainly used on domestic routes.
Boeing models used by American Airlines are 737s, 757s, 767s and 777s, while Airbus production is represented here by A300 planes. Being rather old, this fleet is well-maintained by American Airlines engineers, old aircrafts are replaced in time with new ones, like Boeing 737s and 757s recently were put to domestic routes, usually served by old 727 aircrafts. The original way of maintain improving was also realized by American Airways with specializing certain hub cities on certain aircraft, so you can meet American Airlines MD-80s more often than Boeing 757, which is a regular guest of Miami Airport, or A300 planes, whose maintaining base is JFK International Airport.
American Airlines offers you a great choice of tours across the United States, Canada and Mexico, covering almost every piece of North American continent territory. It also can bring you to the Caribbean or Bermudas, when you decide to spend your vacation time there, or to provide you with a great oportunity to travel to Central and South American countries with their special sunny-spiced atmosphere.
