Item 2.05 Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On May
21, 2008, AMR Corporation (the "Company") 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.
