New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of American Airlines Group Inc. (we, us, our and similar terms, or AAG) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. AAG’s principal subsidiary is American Airlines, Inc. (American). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results, consisting of normally recurring items, have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant areas of judgment relate to passenger revenue recognition, the loyalty program, deferred tax assets, as well as pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits. (b) Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) COVID-19 has been declared a global health pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions of the world, which has driven the implementation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread. Ongoing global vaccination efforts and the corresponding lifting of government restrictions in and between many markets resulted in a significant and rapid recovery in demand for air travel. The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any increases in infection rates, new variants and renewed governmental action to slow the spread of COVID-19 cannot be estimated. Our capacity (as measured by available seat miles) continues to be reduced compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, with total capacity in the second quarter of 2022 down 8.5% as compared to the second quarter of 2019. Domestic capacity in the second quarter of 2022 was down 6.6% while international capacity was down 12.1% as compared to the second quarter of 2019. While demand for domestic and short-haul international markets has largely recovered to 2019 levels, uncertainty remains regarding the timing of a full recovery. We will continue to match our forward capacity with observed booking trends for future travel and make further adjustments to our capacity as needed.

(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $1.0 billion and $684 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $2.4 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.

Contract Balances Our significant contract liabilities are comprised of (1) outstanding loyalty program mileage credits that may be redeemed for future travel and other non-air travel awards, reported as loyalty program liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and (2) ticket sales for transportation that has not yet been provided, reported as air traffic liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In millions) Loyalty program liability $ 9,254 $ 9,135 Air traffic liability 8,969 6,087 Total $ 18,223 $ 15,222 The balance of the loyalty program liability fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impact the volume of mileage credits issued through travel or sold to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and mileage credits redeemed (recognition of revenue). Changes in loyalty program liability are as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 9,135 Deferral of revenue 1,596 Recognition of revenue (1) (1,477) Balance at June 30, 2022 (2) $ 9,254 (1) Principally relates to revenue recognized from the redemption of mileage credits for both air and non-air travel awards. Mileage credits are combined in one homogenous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of miles that were part of the loyalty program deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as well as miles that were issued during the period. (2) Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as that AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of June 30, 2022, our current loyalty program liability was $3.1 billion and represents our current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical as well as projected trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected to be recognized as revenue in periods thereafter. Given the inherent uncertainty of the current operating environment due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to monitor redemption patterns and may adjust our estimates in the future. The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American and partner airlines, as well as estimated future refunds and exchanges of tickets sold for past travel. The balance in our air traffic liability also fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. Accordingly, any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within 12 months. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $3.6 billion of revenue was recognized in passenger revenue that was included in our air traffic liability at December 31, 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended the contract duration for certain tickets to September 30, 2022, principally those tickets which were issued in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, we extended the contract duration to December 31, 2022 for tickets to certain international destinations. We also have eliminated change fees for most domestic and international tickets providing more flexibility for customers to change travel plans. Given these changes and the uncertainty surrounding the future demand for air travel, our estimates of revenue that will be recognized from the air traffic liability for future flown or unused tickets as well as our estimates of refunds may be subject to variability and differ from historical experience.

American also currently has approximately $70 million of available borrowing base under a cargo receivables facility that was entered into in December 2020 and is set to expire in December 2022. The December 2016 Credit Facilities provide for a revolving credit facility that may be established thereunder in the future. Secured financings, including revolving credit and other facilities, are collateralized by assets, consisting primarily of aircraft, engines, simulators, aircraft spare parts, airport gate leasehold rights, route authorities, airport slots, certain receivables, certain intellectual property and certain loyalty program assets. 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes At June 30, 2022, the if-converted value of the 6.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the Convertible Notes) did not exceed the principal amount.

Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, the holders of the Convertible Notes cannot convert at their option at any time during the quarter ending September 30, 2022. Each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is convertible at a rate of 61.7284 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Notes Indenture. We may settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. 2022 Financing Activities 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs In November 2021, American created two pass-through trusts which issued approximately $960 million aggregate face amount of Series 2021-1 Class A and Class B EETCs (the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs) in connection with the financing of 26 aircraft previously delivered or originally scheduled to be delivered to American through September 2022 (the 2021-1 Aircraft). In 2021, approximately $94 million of the proceeds had been used to purchase equipment notes issued by American in connection with the financing of five aircraft under the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs, all of which was used to repay existing indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately $574 million of proceeds had been used to purchase equipment notes issued by American in connection with the financing of 14 aircraft under the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs. Interest and principal payments on equipment notes issued in connection with the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs are payable semi-annually in January and July of each year, with interest payments scheduled to begin in July 2022 and with principal payments scheduled to begin in January 2023. The remaining proceeds of approximately $292 million as of June 30, 2022 were being held in escrow with a depositary for the benefit of the holders of the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs until such time as American issues additional equipment notes with respect to the remaining 2021-1 Aircraft to the pass-through trusts, which will purchase such additional equipment notes with the escrowed funds. These escrowed funds are not guaranteed by American and are not reported as debt on its condensed consolidated balance sheets because the proceeds held by the depositary for the benefit of the holders of the 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs are not American’s assets. Certain information regarding the 2021-1 Aircraft EETC equipment notes, as of June 30, 2022, is set forth in the table below. 2021-1 Aircraft EETCs Series A Series B Aggregate principal issued $758 million $202 million Remaining escrowed proceeds $231 million $61 million Fixed interest rate per annum 2.875% 3.95% Maturity date July 2034 July 2030 Other Financing Activities During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased $349 million of unsecured notes on the open market.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $17.2 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $3.0 billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $6.9 billion will expire beginning in 2024 if unused and $13.3 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $6.0 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2021, which will expire in taxable years 2021 through 2041 if unused. Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. We provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, which include our NOLs, when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of our deferred tax assets, will not be realized. We consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact our assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond our control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. We presently have a $34 million valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets related to state NOL carryforwards. There can be no assurance that an additional valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required. Such valuation allowance could be material. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $127 million and an income tax benefit of $324 million, respectively.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]
Fair Value Measurements and Other Investments	Fair Value Measurements and Other Investments Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Our short-term investments, restricted cash and restricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions): Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Short-term investments (1), (2) : Money market funds $ 214 $ 214 $ — $ — Corporate obligations 5,859 — 5,859 — Bank notes/certificates of deposit/time deposits 4,633 — 4,633 — Repurchase agreements 1,415 — 1,415 — 12,121 214 11,907 — Restricted cash and short-term investments (1), (3) 997 582 415 — Long-term investments (4) 231 231 — — Total $ 13,349 $ 1,027 $ 12,322 $ — (1) All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at each reporting period. There were no credit losses. (2) Our short-term investments mature in one year or less. (3) Restricted cash and short-term investments primarily include collateral held to support workers' compensation obligations, collateral associated with the payment of interest for the AAdvantage Financing and money market funds to be used to finance a substantial portion of the cost of the renovation and expansion of Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. (4) Long-term investments include our equity investments in China Southern Airlines, GOL and Vertical. These investments are reflected in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair Value of Debt The fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses based on our current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. If our long-term debt was measured at fair value, it would have been classified as Level 2 except for $3.7 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which would have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which would have been classified as Level 2, was $1.0 billion and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including current maturities, were as follows (in millions): June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Long-term debt, including current maturities $ 36,354 $ 33,472 $ 37,323 $ 38,567 Other Investments An important part of our strategy to expand our network has been to initiate or expand our commercial relationships with other airlines, such as by entering into global alliances, joint business and codeshare relationships, and, in certain instances, by making an equity investment in another airline or other companies. GOL In April 2022, we completed our definitive investment agreement with GOL and invested $200 million in 22.2 million of newly issued preferred shares, representing a 5.3% economic interest in GOL. The total consideration of $200 million has been allocated as follows based on relative fair values: $81 million to the preferred shares and $119 million to the indefinite-lived intangible asset derived from the related commercial agreements. The ownership interest is accounted for at fair value based on GOL’s stock price and mark-to-market adjustments are recorded to nonoperating other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]
Fair Value Measurements and Other Investments	Fair Value Measurements and Other Investments Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis American utilizes the market approach to measure the fair value of its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. American’s short-term investments, restricted cash and restricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions): Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Short-term investments (1), (2) : Money market funds $ 212 $ 212 $ — $ — Corporate obligations 5,859 — 5,859 — Bank notes/certificates of deposit/time deposits 4,632 — 4,632 — Repurchase agreements 1,415 — 1,415 — 12,118 212 11,906 — Restricted cash and short-term investments (1), (3) 997 582 415 — Long-term investments (4) 231 231 — — Total $ 13,346 $ 1,025 $ 12,321 $ — (1) All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at each reporting period. There were no credit losses. (2) American’s short-term investments mature in one year or less. (3) Restricted cash and short-term investments primarily include collateral held to support workers' compensation obligations, collateral associated with the payment of interest for the AAdvantage Financing and money market funds to be used to finance a substantial portion of the cost of the renovation and expansion of Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. (4) Long-term investments include American's equity investments in China Southern Airlines, GOL and Vertical. These investments are reflected in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair Value of Debt The fair value of American’s long-term debt was estimated using quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses based on American’s current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. If American’s long-term debt was measured at fair value, it would have been classified as Level 2. The carrying value and estimated fair value of American’s long-term debt, including current maturities, were as follows (in millions): June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Long-term debt, including current maturities $ 31,133 $ 29,544 $ 31,357 $ 32,999 Other Investments An important part of American's strategy to expand its network has been to initiate or expand its commercial relationships with other airlines, such as by entering into global alliances, joint business and codeshare relationships, and, in certain instances, by making an equity investment in another airline or other companies.

Legal Proceedings	Legal Proceedings Private Party Antitrust Action Related to Passenger Capacity. We, along with Delta Air Lines, Inc., Southwest Airlines Co., United Airlines, Inc. and, in the case of litigation filed in Canada, Air Canada, were named as defendants in approximately 100 putative class action lawsuits alleging unlawful agreements with respect to air passenger capacity. The U.S. lawsuits were consolidated in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia (the DC Court). On June 15, 2018, we reached a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the amount of $45 million to resolve all class claims in the U.S. lawsuits. That settlement was approved by the DC Court on May 13, 2019, however three parties who objected to the settlement have appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. We believe these appeals are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them. Private Party Antitrust Action Related to the Merger . On August 6, 2013, a lawsuit captioned Carolyn Fjord, et al., v. AMR Corporation, et al., was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Court). The complaint named as defendants US Airways Group, US Airways, Inc., AMR Corporation and American, alleged that the effect of the merger of US Airways Group and AMR Corporation (the Merger) may be to create a monopoly in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, and sought injunctive relief and/or divestiture. On November 27, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to preliminarily enjoin the Merger. On August 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court denied in part defendants' motion for summary judgment, and fully denied plaintiffs' cross-motion for summary judgment. The parties' evidentiary cases were presented before the Bankruptcy Court in a bench trial in March 2019 and the parties submitted proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and made closing arguments in April 2019. On January 29, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court published its decision finding in our favor. On March 25, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered judgment affirming the Bankruptcy Court's decision. Plaintiffs have appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the plaintiffs' opening brief is due August 2, 2022. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against it, including against any further appeals by plaintiffs. Government Antitrust Action Related to the Northeast Alliance. On September 21, 2021, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), joined by Attorneys General from six states and the District of Columbia, filed an antitrust complaint against American and JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) alleging that American and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust laws in connection with the previously disclosed Northeast Alliance arrangement (NEA). We believe the complaint is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously. Also on September 21, 2021, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) published a Clarification Notice relating to the agreement that had been reached between the DOT, American, and JetBlue in January 2021, at the conclusion of the DOT’s review of the NEA (DOT Agreement). The DOT Clarification Notice stated, among other things, that the DOT Agreement remains in force during the pendency of the DOJ action against the NEA and, while the DOT retains independent statutory authority to prohibit unfair methods of competition in air transportation, the DOT intends to defer to DOJ to resolve the antitrust concerns that DOJ has identified with respect to the NEA. The DOT simultaneously published a Notice Staying Proceeding in relation to a complaint by Spirit Airlines, Inc. regarding the NEA, pending resolution of the DOJ action described above. General . In addition to the specifically identified legal proceedings, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in other legal proceedings from time to time. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. Therefore, although we will vigorously defend ourselves in each of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on us are uncertain but could be material.

Disaggregation of Revenue	The following are the significant categories comprising our operating revenues (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Passenger revenue: Passenger travel $ 11,400 $ 5,995 $ 18,613 $ 8,888 Loyalty revenue - travel (1) 823 550 1,428 836 Total passenger revenue 12,223 6,545 20,041 9,724 Cargo 328 326 692 641 Other: Loyalty revenue - marketing services (2) 740 529 1,336 986 Other revenue 131 78 252 135 Total other revenue 871 607 1,588 1,121 Total operating revenues $ 13,422 $ 7,478 $ 22,321 $ 11,486 (1) Loyalty revenue included in passenger revenue is principally comprised of mileage credit redemptions, which were earned from travel or co-branded credit card and other partners. (2) During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $1.0 billion and $684 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $2.4 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The following is our total passenger revenue by geographic region (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Domestic $ 9,120 $ 5,444 $ 15,180 $ 8,099 Latin America 1,534 936 2,761 1,417 Atlantic 1,481 125 1,947 147 Pacific 88 40 153 61 Total passenger revenue $ 12,223 $ 6,545 $ 20,041 $ 9,724

Changes in loyalty program liability are as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 9,135 Deferral of revenue 1,596 Recognition of revenue (1) (1,477) Balance at June 30, 2022 (2) $ 9,254 (1) Principally relates to revenue recognized from the redemption of mileage credits for both air and non-air travel awards. Mileage credits are combined in one homogenous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of miles that were part of the loyalty program deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as well as miles that were issued during the period. (2) Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as that AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of June 30, 2022, our current loyalty program liability was $3.1 billion and represents our current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical as well as projected trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected to be recognized as revenue in periods thereafter. Given the inherent uncertainty of the current operating environment due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to monitor redemption patterns and may adjust our estimates in the future.
