Item 8.01 Other Events

American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), as the borrower, and AMR Corporation ("AMR"), as guarantor, previously entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated as of March 27, 2006, with Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and a syndicate of lenders arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers. The remaining loan facility under the Credit Agreement consists of a fully drawn $433 million secured bank term loan facility with a final maturity on December 17, 2010.

The Credit Agreement contains a covenant (the "EBITDAR Covenant") requiring AMR to maintain, for specified periods, a minimum ratio of cash flow (defined as consolidated net income, before dividends, interest expense (less capitalized interest), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and rentals, adjusted for certain gains or losses and non-cash items) to fixed charges (comprising interest expense (less capitalized interest) and rentals). The minimum ratios for the periods ending as of specified dates are currently as set forth below:

Period Minimum Ratio Quarter ending June 30, 2009 0.90:1.00 Two quarters ending September 30, 2009 0.95:1.00 Three quarters ending December 31, 2009 1.00:1.00 Four quarters ending March 31, 2010 1.05:1.00 Four quarters ending June 30, 2010 1.10:1.00 Four quarters ending September 30, 2010 1.15:1.00

American and AMR have obtained the approval by the requisite lenders of an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), pursuant to which (1) compliance with the EBITDAR Covenant will be irrevocably waived for the period ending on June 30, 2009 and (2) the EBITDAR Covenant will be amended to provide that thereafter, AMR will be required to maintain, for each period specified below, a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than the amount specified below for such period:

Period Minimum Ratio Quarter ending September 30, 2009 0.95:1.00 Two quarters ending December 31, 2010 0.95:1.00 Three quarters ending March 31, 2010 0.95:1.00 Four quarters ending June 30, 2010 1.00:1.00 Four quarters ending September 30, 2010 1.05:1.00

Advances under the Credit Agreement currently bear interest at 2.00% per annum over LIBOR, in the case of "Eurodollar Rate Advances" and 1.00% over the "Base Rate" (determined as provided in the Credit Agreement), in the case of "Base Rate Advances". Pursuant to the Amendment, these margins will increase to 4.00% per annum in the case of LIBOR Advances, and 3.00% in the case of Base Rate Advances. In addition, the Amendment will provide that the minimum rate of LIBOR for purposes of determining the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Advances will be 2.50% per annum and that the minimum Base Rate for purposes of determining the interest rate on Base Rate Advances will be 3.50% per annum (the Credit Agreement does not currently provide for fixed minimums of such interest rates).

American will pay certain fees to the lenders who consented to the Amendment, and certain fees and expenses of the administrative agent and the joint lead arrangers. Effectiveness of the Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of certain fees by American, and American and AMR expect that these conditions will be satisfied and the Amendment will become effective on June 26, 2009.
