What travelers should know about flight cancelations as American Airlines works to resume operations slowed by difficult winter storm conditions.

American Airlines, which trails competitors in profits, had 10,000 cancellations due to Winter Storm Fern. Now some unions want CEO Robert Isom to step down

“The last 48 hours have been incredibly challenging,” the airline’s customer chief wrote in a letter to fliers.

American Airlines isn’t wasting any time in seeking to win back gates it lost last year at O’Hare International Airport. The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier notified Chicago aviation officials that it wants to start the annual process of re-allocating the gates that airlines use to park aircraft while passengers board and disembark.

American Airlines was recovering slowly from winter storm Fern on Tuesday, as crews could not reach airplanes and Dallas remained "a skating rink."

American expects to earn 7% to 10% more revenue in the first three months of 2026.

American Airlines said Winter Storm Fern resulted in over 9,000 flight cancellations, the "largest weather-related" disruption in its history.

The carrier’s cost-cutting and outsourcing moves left flight attendants sleeping on airport floors for days.

American Airlines Chief Customer Officer has issued an apology to the thousands of passengers impacted by the winter storm.
