SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
herein and therein contain various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights basic information about us and this offering. Because it is a summary, it does not
contain all of the information that you should consider before investing. You should read this entire prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this
prospectus supplement, as well as the materials filed with the SEC that are considered to be a part of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision. See "Where
You Can Find More Information" in the accompanying prospectus.
The Company
AMR Corporation was incorporated in October 1982. AMR's operations fall almost entirely in the airline
industry. AMR's principal subsidiary, American Airlines, Inc., was founded in 1934. On April 9, 2001, American
Airlines, Inc. (through a wholly owned subsidiary, TWA Airlines LLC ("TWA LLC")) purchased substantially all
of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA"), the eighth largest U.S. carrier.
American Airlines, Inc., including TWA LLC (collectively, "American"), is the largest scheduled passenger
airline in the world. At the end of 2003, American provided scheduled jet service to approximately 150
destinations throughout North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and the Pacific. American is also
one of the largest scheduled air freight carriers in the world, providing a wide range of freight and mail services
to shippers throughout its system.
In addition, AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR, owns two regional airlines
which do business as "American Eagle" -- American Eagle Airlines, Inc. and Executive Airlines, Inc.. In
addition, American contracts with two independently owned regional airlines which do business as the
"AmericanConnection". We refer to the American Eagle and AmericanConnection carriers as our Regional
Affiliates. The Regional Affiliates provide connecting service from eight of American's high-traffic cities to
smaller markets throughout the United States, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
AMR Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR, is responsible for the investment and
oversight of the assets of AMR's defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as its short-term
investments.
The postal address for AMR's and American's principal executive offices is P.O. Box 619616, Dallas/Fort
Worth Airport, Texas 75261-9616 (Telephone: 817-963-1234). AMR's Internet address is http://www.amrcorp.
com. Information on AMR's website is not incorporated into this prospectus supplement and is not a part of this
prospectus supplement.
Recent Developments
Results. We had a net loss of $111 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, or $0.70 per share. This compares
with last year's fourth quarter loss of $529 million, or $3.39 per share. For the full year 2003, we had a net loss of
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/6201/000095013404001552/d12292bbe424b2.htm (8 of 159)2/11/04 12:18:36 PM


e424b2
$1.2 billion, or $7.76 per share, compared to our full year net loss in 2002 of $3.5 billion, or $22.57 per share.
For the fourth quarter of 2003, we had an operating loss of $227 million, which reflected $330 million of
special charges, of which $302 million were aircraft charges. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we had an operating
loss of $679 million, with no special charges. Our results improved during the fourth quarter of 2003 mainly due
to increased revenues and decreased unit costs. Our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2003 increased 3.9% to
$4.4 billion. American's capacity was 41.3 billion available seat miles, a decrease of 2.1% from the fourth
quarter of 2002. American's load factor in the fourth quarter of 2003 was 71.6%, an increase from 69.8% in
fourth quarter of 2002. American's passenger revenue yield per passenger mile increased as well, to 12.13 cents
per mile in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to 11.72 cents in the fourth quarter of 2002. American's unit
costs, as measured by operating expenses per available seat mile (excluding Regional Affiliates), declined to
10.25 cents in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to 10.73 cents in the fourth quarter of 2002. Our unit costs
were adversely affected in the fourth quarter of 2003 by higher fuel costs and special charges. See "Recent
Operating Results" in this prospectus supplement.

Turnaround Plan. In May 2003, we announced a Turnaround Plan consisting of four tenets: Lower Costs To
Compete; Fly Smart, Give Customers What They Value; Pull Together, Win Together; and Build a Financial
Foundation For The Future. In announcing our fourth quarter 2003 earnings, we summarized some of our
progress in implementing the Turnaround Plan:

· Lower Costs To Compete: One of our critical goals is to reduce costs by $4 billion annually, including
$2 billion from strategic initiatives, $1.8 billion from labor cost savings and $200 million from vendors,
suppliers and creditors. Progress toward this goal helped us achieve a significant year-over-year decline
in costs per available seat mile in the fourth quarter of 2003 and in 2003 as a whole. If not for rising fuel
prices, our progress would have been even more significant. To further reduce costs, we have returned
underused gate space, consolidated terminal space, de-peaked our Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth hub
schedules (with our Miami hub to be de-peaked in 2004), closed a reservations center, reduced the size of
our St. Louis hub, accelerated the retirement of TWA LLC aircraft, and improved aircraft utilization
across our fleet. Our goal is to improve our unit costs by 17% in the first quarter of 2004, compared to
the first quarter of 2003, and by 9% for the full year 2004, compared to 2003. We cannot assure that we
will be able to meet these goals, given the risks involved in our business. See "Risk Factors" in this
prospectus supplement.

· Fly Smart, Give Customers What They Value: This tenet focuses on customer service and revenue
production, with emphasis on improving our relative revenue performance compared to others in the
airline industry. Actions in this area include adding seats to American's Boeing 757 and Airbus A300
fleets and restructuring our hubs at Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth and St. Louis (with our Miami hub to be
restructured in 2004). Another step is expanding alliances. Our progress includes a domestic codeshare
with Alaska Airlines, governmental approval of codesharing with British Airways, the addition of
SWISS International to the oneworld alliance, and our recently announced codeshare linkage with
Mexicana (which, subject to governmental approvals, will be launched in April 2004).

· Pull Together, Win Together: Fostering greater cooperation than ever with our employees, we have
launched an unprecedented level of openness with employee groups and labor unions. Our President and
Chief Executive Officer holds regular "Town Hall"-style meetings with employees and our Chief
Financial Officer meets monthly with union leaders to discuss our financial results with them in much the
same way as he briefs our Board of Directors. In addition, we have engaged a firm that works to bring
union groups and management together, to help to promote a philosophy of active involvement. Our
employees have significant ownership in our company, having been granted 37.1 million stock options in
April 2003.
