Item 2.05 Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On May
21, 2008, AMR Corporation (the "Company"), parent company of American Airlines,
Inc. (“American”) issued a press release announcing capacity reductions and
related matters as described in the press release. The Company made its
determination to implement these capacity reductions in light of unprecedented
high fuel costs and the other challenges facing the industry.
In
connection with these capacity reductions, the Company anticipates that it will
record non-cash accounting charges, including aircraft impairments and
impairments to certain related long-lived assets, and other disposal and
associated costs. The Company is not able at this time to estimate the amount
and timing of these charges.
