The World's Largest: The American Airlines Fleet In 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 май 2024
- American Airlines is currently the biggest carrier in the world! Operating over 900 aircraft, the Dallas-Fort Worth-based carrier also has the top spot for many other measures, including revenue, passengers flown, and passengers-kilometers flown. Despite struggling with financial issues due to the pandemic, the airline has managed to keep a large and diverse fleet while finding solutions to solve its problems. Let’s take a better look at this fleet, as well as what they've planned for the future.

I think removing the TV screens was a big mistake. Glad to see they will have them on the 787s. They should be in every plane in their fleet.
You telling me
Not really, fast charging ports in every seats and fast 4G wifi would be adequate.
It is slightly less nice however studies show passengers largely opt to use their phones/tablets over them. The weight and complexity added by the electronics did not justify their slight convenience. And really the device holders + power plugs make me not even miss them.
@@ericwalker2434 are you AA executive you are wrong
@@ea7654 I wish lol.
They retired the a330 and 767s way too early. It was a knee jerk reaction that is biting them now. With air travel returning, and the delays in the 787 deliveries, AA has to drop or postpone route expansions. Giving up its last flight to Australia is a pretty big blow. AA has almost completly given up everything west of Hawaii. SE Asia is out. They only have South Korea and Tokyo left. I personally think this is a massive mistake.
Yep
Too many pilots retired, and too much maintenance costs coming in the form of overhaul checks made to expensive to keep.
AA employee here. we're returning to Australia in October and have recently launched a new route from jfk to Doha, Qatar. We are also still flying to Beijing.
@@kingonthemoon7044 Aged like sour milk
@@yourlocalyoutubecommenter LMAOOOO. how? all those routes are still in service last I checked
Interesting and perfectly edited 👏🏻
Kind of sad that they're the largest airline, yet United and Delta have much more of a variety of international routes
American has been severely handcuffed by Boeing’s inability to produce the 787s American have on order. As soon as Boeing can fix the production issues and deliver American will be able to greatly increase their international presence.
I used to fly to Europe from the West Coast 1 or 2 times a Year, and I prefer flying American rather than United. I also flew down to Buenos Aires and American was decent.
I love American Airlines
Incredible editing!
Thank you for watching! ✈️😊
In the very long term (because I know the 777-300ER's are still young), I look for AA's widebody fleet to be solely 787.
Due to where I live in Florida and where I usually go, I rarely fly American. Usually it’s Delta. At PBI, my nearest airport, Delta has the more convenient gates and AA means more of a trip to and from parking and some other facilities. But again it depends where I’m going. I don’t go across the continent often.
Will u be doing singapore airlines 2022 fleet? In June I will be flying from Singapore to brisbane Australia 🇸🇬✈️🇦🇺. On their a 350 900 with my mom to visit my family
The original American Airlines filed bankruptcy in 2011 with 600 planes. In 2010 it was the largest airline based on revenue and capacity. The current American Airlines is the result of the smaller US Airways stepping in to merge but keeping the American Airlines brand.
The current American Airlines is the result of America West experiencing the ultimate case of being at the right place at the right time.
You forget to include that American is the largest operator of A319's and A321's. Also, Robert Isom isn't the president anymore, he's now the CEO. Other than that great video.
It is indeed a practical move to order the A321XLRs.
Can you do qantas fleet please?
All E190’s also retired mar 2020 was mainline acft
Going to school in the PHL area, I've been flying American a lot lately. I've been on airbuses a bunch, I had one or two flights on 737-800, and I've been on RJs a few times. Still waiting on my bucket list though is the 737 MAX. I've taxied past them before, but I really would like to experience it in flight. Hopefully one day, soon, I can check it off my bucket list
Why are so excited for the Max? You wanna die
@@emrefifty5281 the max is safe bro. They had an issue, the world realized the FAA weren't being careful enough, and now it's been released and approved by the entire world, not just the FAA. So yes, the max is safer than it has ever been, and it's a beautiful aircraft that I'd like to fly
It’s not all that good unfortunately
For the largest airline in the world, United's and Delta's route map makes them look small
When your flag carrier has as many aircraft in it's full fleet as American has a319s:
Only LAX-MIA is the key transcon route with a 777
I believe it’s great well done to them
You have a map showing all the major hubs for American Airlines. You have one in Houston and none at American Airlines world headquarters at DFW. The Dallas Fort Worth airport is the second largest hub in the world and last year DFW ranked as the second busiest airport in the world.😊
Regan national airport (DCA) is also a (smallish) hub, inherited from their merger with US Airlines...
The 737 MAX and retrofit is only a joy for the pilots bc of the avionics especially in the MAX. For the pax and crew, it's usually a hard NO. Awful tiny lavs but more seats for ya.
Great video and I’m excited with dynamic change with all US airlines. Teaches me about life itself. Be adaptable quickly and simplicity minor diversity
Thank you for watching. 😊✈️ - LR
Can you do Australian Airlines like Qantas jetstar and virgin Australia
We will consider this! Thank you 😊 ✈️
What about the 700's 900's 145's and the 175's I know they say Eagle and are not operated by American but they are still part of their fleet.
I loved the new premium economy product on the 787. However, the regular economy product and experience has become terrible. There is no room to breathe or move. The lavatories in the Max aircraft are so small, I'm suprised humans can actually fit inside.
Yeah they really screwed up the interiors of the Max. Might as well be Spirit.
Agreed. AA has become Spirit/Frontier, but with premium cabins, mixed fleet with wide bodies, and a longhaul network.
I'm curious. With United's recent order of 270 aircraft, by the time it is complete, will they take over as the largest U.S airline or will American still have that title?
And the have the Embraer fleet, also enormous
No they don't those are owned and operated by three of their wholly owned companies and their contractors
What about the crjs and erjs?
Those are owned by their wholly owned companies and contractors
In the United States, the big, three legacy airlines have all done the same thing in the last 25 years. Big airlines in the US have filed for Chapter 11 more than any other industry in my opinion.
I had no idea American had so many aircraft in their fleet.
I hope they are the largest with getting $40 billion in interest-bearing debt. Well A'A did use a lot to buy back stock to get management richer and have better-looking EPS numbers without the need for organic growth to make it happen.
Im surprised that they havent ordered the 777x to replace some of the older 777's in the fleet
@T o The 787 is quite small compared to the 777 though
Anyways, the 777x isnt that big compared to the current ones. The 777-9 is basically 773 with 3 more rows + more efficiency. If thats too big for them, the 778 is also an option.
@T o ok yeah good point i forgot about that
What about the smaller aircrafts American airlines owned ?
Amarican airlines don't own them envoy air owns and operates E175s and E170s and E145s
Piedmont is only E145s
PSA uses CRJs 700-900s
These are AAs wholly owned subsidiary company's
Skywest
Mesa airlines
Republic are AAs contractors
I think American is on the right track by modernizing and consolidating their fleet.
Eventually I do think the A220 would be a good replacement for their A319’s (the A319NEO less efficient as an overweight airframe), as many older ones come from America West and US Airways. For their 777 fleet, I would believe the 787-9 and A350-900 are better replacement as the 777X are larger, allowing American to stay with frequency over capacity.
As a paying passenger in coach, I’d say I hope that they go with the A350 instead of the 787-9 as a replacement for their 777’s, because they insist on doing their 787’s in 9-across. The 350 in 9-across is much nicer.
please do saudia
The only thing I love about American is their route map! Their on board experience has degraded to be no different from spirit or frontier. Cramped, uncomfortable seats, with no entertainment, cold staff, etc.! Really sad to see such a consistently poor experience from our flag carrier. 😞
and united claims to be the flag carrier also
AA used to be the standard now they are the trash of the bottom feeders
Agreed their service just keeps getting worse it seems as though the crew are doing the customer a favor and most of the ground staff are no different. Remove the IFE sear back entertainment was a horrible mistake. What about those that are technically challenged, dunya have their own personal phone, tablet or lap top and the elderly, even very young children.
This was really poor thinking.
If you are looking at it from.saving for maintenance of the IFE and weight restrictions, well not a great budget was done is all I can say.
@@tomAkelife-ff9tf I think thats why Delta, United and American are now called legacy carriers in the US, because they all claim to be the flag carrier.
Airlines like that should clean up their act asap. We do not want Air Walmart
Not sure how the A321 has more capacity than the 757-200 when in a typical 2 class layout they each seat 200pax, & the exit limit of each aircraft is 240pax...& if you want to bring in the 757-300 well then it's no competition.
The 757-300 doesn't matter since it sold so few. Airlines and manufactures have gotten a lot more clever in cramming in more seats. Thinner seats, less pitch, smaller restrooms and gillies etc.
Not a fan of single aisle aircraft on long-haul transatlantic flights.
Correction: American has 47 777-200ER, not 47 777-200 like the video said. Only United and ANA still operate the 777-200, and American has never operated the type.
My suggestion for AA:
787-8 / A321XLR replaces 757-200/767-300ER
787-9 replaces A330-200/300
787-10ER replaces 777-200ER
777-8 used for expansion and to compliment the 777-300ER
777-9 eventually replaces the 777-300ER
The sad sad thing with not just American Airlines is, they squeeze all these extra seats on the planes and shrink the lavatories and in some cases lessen overhead bin space in the very back. And mind you, the average pax is getting larger in size trying to fit into those smaller lavs. $$$$$$$
I'd like to see AA try get B787-10
00:42 it's 910 aircraft not 904. It'a hard to belive that this airline only has 4 widebody aircraft types with a total of 113 widebodies and yes it was this airline has :
47 Boeing 777-200ER
20 Boeing 777-300ER
24 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner (at the moment) and
22 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Out of the big 3 who has the nicest aircraft’s? Delta, United, or American? And if so what would the rankings be? I’m guessing Delta right?
Very subjective.
If you like widebodies, United wins and AA is dead last.
If you like Airbus, Delta wins and United is dead last.
If you like Boeing, other way around.
Delta wins in cabin comfort though. UAL is a smidge better than AA due to their IFE.
what American needs is seat back entertainment on more a321s and 737s
narrow presentation, too many interesting facts left out, there is much much more to it. i guess that's how it's seen from non-insiders trying to explain a complex issue in 9 minutes:), but thanks for the video.
I would love to see AA order the Airbus A220s most definitely i think that the A220-300s would be a good aeroplane for AA
They didn't talk about the American Eagle sub fleet. I think the A220 could fit there.
@@Joe-kk6gf Nope. Pilot scope clauses don't allow the 220 to be flown by regionals. It would have to be mainline if they ever order it.
@@johniii8147 Is that a US thing? Cause in Europe Lufthansa Cityline flies A319 for example
@@heybenjii5544 Yes it’s a pilot scope clause for all major US carriers. Regionals are limited in size and number of aircraft they can operate. Basically limited to no more than 75 seats and an aircraft below a certain weight
@@johniii8147 ohhh ok, so no E 190 and 195?
I think they should hurry up and give me a call for the job I applied for. I had interview with them and got the job but I’m still waiting for the hiring process
If your aren't patient this isn't the job for you.. the hiring process takes time
I think American need add dedicated cargo fleet to their operations I think they will make AA more profitable as airline and like their future fleet plans
That model just doesn't work for US carriers. A vast majority of their flights are dometic already serviced by FedEx and UPS.
I love American Airlines.
Can you make a fleet video on a major chinese airline?
The Chinese probably don't make that information public since they are state owned.
AA should replace their entire fleet of aging B777-200 ER with existing B787-8 fleet . . . ofcourse this will mean acquiring additional B787-10 HGW & B787-9 . . . secondly it's A319 LR fleet needs to be replaced as well with A320-200 Neo . . .
AAL, the largest ULCC in the world!
00:46 446 are Airbus (of 904)
......then wondering why A320 family having large portion on US legacy carrier instead of 737🛫🤓
This airline is technically US Airways. They kept the American name when they purchased them out of bankruptcy. The US Airways fleet was mostly all airbus hence why the planes are so old lol.
Because is more efficient? And is a very good plane :)
why is Delta the only US Airline company with An A350 in it's fleet?
United is scheduled to receive some by 2025
@@deveretempro3869 Actually 2027 at the earliest and it's questionable if they will be taken. They have now pushed off delivery several times and ordered 15 years ago.
@@johniii8147 ok thanks for that update
Because both United and American are being very loyal to Boeing (particularly widebodies). Delta have a very good relationship with Airbus thats why they have a mainly Airbus fleet.
@@MarcusNesbitt4 It has nothing to do with loyalty. It’s all about deals struck at the best terms and current fleet mix. DL largely went with Airbus because they also the MRO engine contract with PW and RR
2:24 those are 777-200ERs. If you put an ER next to the 300 then you need to do it to the 200 as well.
American airlines get brand new a321xlr in 2023?
That's the current schedule yes
yeah!
United has more wide-body aircraft than American, Delta, and Air Canada COMBINED.
Wrong.
UA=200
AA=113
DL=139
AC=50
Combined they have 302
Ouch
I've liked American Airlines ever since the past CEO, Robert Crandall, scolded the CEO of Braniff for charging too little for tickets trying to gain market share, a self defeating tactic.
737 is simply too cramp to fly
I've been on American airlines before...their A321 is much better than the 737
DE-harmonization*
American Airlines is the worst for passengers…. They have a lot of planes and cheap fairs…. Super uncomfortable and lots of scheduling issues and the worst leg room of any major carrier.
Weird, they operate 2 flights a day to my airport while my airline that I work for does 17
I don't really care for American's longhaul fleet; 3-3-3 abreast in economy is brutal if fhe plane is full. When possible, Delta and United's 767s are much better.
You’re talking about their 787 Crampliners ... Their 777’s are 3-4-3, which is also miserable.
When I fly internationally, I use carriers that operate 9-across 777’s, (e.g., Korean Air, Japan Airlines, select Cathay Pacific) or 8-across 787’s (Japan Airlines). Of course, if you must fly a US carrier, which some do, citing safety concerns, Delta flies A350’s which are nice in 9-across, and their 330’s are 2-4-2, which is also relatively spacious. Delta also still operates the 767, which utilized that 2-3-2, which is very nice.
@@sking2173 Crampliners, I will be calling them that from now on.
Yes, disgusting how on the 777 they figured they could squeeze another seat and go 10 abreast, and ran with it.
I remember the 777 2-5-2 configuration, which was better than 3-3-3/ 3-4-3.
My favourite longhaul birds are the A330/A340s and 767s. I opt for those whenever possible. The A350 3-3-3 is also miserable.
@@HplusG - I like the 2-4-2 on the 330/340’s, but the 350’s with 3-3-3 are much more accommodating than the 787 with the same, as the 350 has a wider cabin and can fit wider seats.
Japan Airlines fits some of their 777’s in 2-4-3, which sounds weird, but if you think about it, is more passenger-friendly than the 3-3-3. That would also work with the 350 ...
Edit: The 767 with 2-3-2 is THE BEST of all wide-body configurations.
@@sking2173 The weight and balance calculations would be wierd as heck. But a very nice config for pax. A couple, family of 3 and family of 4 can all get their own row. Not possible on any other aircraft.
Amarican is kinda MID they would be perfect if they had tvs on narrow body’s and much nicer crew
Video ruined by the horrible music, what's going on?
No thanks. I’ll fly the friendlier skies of United Airlines!
To be more Frank I haven't flown with American airlines .....
I still don't like their livery. If they wanted an abstract take on the U.S. flag, they could have just refreshed the flag that US Airways had. That flight symbol they use is also bizarre compared to the eagle used previously. I admire their willingness to commit to something brand new, their new uniforms are divine, but for a brand like American I think they could have done better. It's very good that they have pared down their fleet types. I hope to see American retain its place at the top of the world's airlines. 🦅
Classic short haul Airbus, long haul thin Airbus and long haul “Fat routes” Boeing. It’s a pattern seen elsewhere.
Not really. The 737 is their largest fleet type.
No, Airbus is largest. AA is the largest operator of the A32F in the world with 452 on property. Only 345 737 on property.
Dump the AirBus equipment. The revolutionary Boeing era is about to begin. Blended wing/fuselage aircraft made of NASA/Boeing synthetic materials (1/2 the weight) and next generation fuel efficient engines (-25% burn rate)are about to emerge. Airbus is finally near digging out of their A380 vanity project. What have they been working on since 787???
As a Texas based company, it doesn’t matter what American Airlines does, I will not fly with them.
That’s ridiculous. Opposing a company because of where they’re re from?
Texas sucks!
I guess ypu wont buy a Tesla either.
@@briangasser973 Tesla has some operations in Texas but they are still 100% a California company. Initially, Texas tried to block Tesla from even selling there.
DfW only basically has all AAs
It's just American't . . . .
They shouldn’t have retired the a330….because they’re still young so maybe delta would take them?
I flew in an a330 on Virgin to England a couple years ago. I think they’re still useful. Maybe the engines are relatively inefficient? It was in great shape and reasonably comfortable.
@@markiangooley their age is roughly 12.5 years of age I find it rather offensive that they retired the younger aircrafts but kept the standard 777-200
It was a small fleet for AA so wasn't worth the added complexity to operate. They didn't need the widebody capacity in the current environment anyway. Their strategy is clear to simplify the fleet.
@@johniii8147 - Very true what you say, but I much prefer a 330 over a 787 with American’s 9-across coach seating.
@@sking2173 Fly business class and you don't have the issue
Bring back the wide body aircraft on your 4-5 hour routes. Put the customer first for once you greedy bast$rds
I think they should scrap all 737s and 737 MAX'S. They're terrible, old planes that Boeing needs to stop milking for profits. The A320 series is so much better in so many ways. Especially passenger comfort.
I like the Boeings more than airbuses though
The MAX is brand new and is just fine. I’ve always enjoyed flying on 737s
American is a small step up from Spirit and Frontier. Ghetto
AA stinks. Cramming more seats for more money. Awful.
