Extensive overview of American Airlines airplanes current and historic
This article is about the mainline American Airlines fleet, including the historical fleet. For information about the fleet of American's regional operations, see American Eagle (airline brand) § Fleet.
American Airbus A320 family aircraft at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
As of April 2024[update], the American Airlines fleet consists of 960 mainline aircraft, making it the second-largest commercial airline fleet in the world.[1][2][3] American Airlines operates aircraft manufactured by Boeing and Airbus.
Over 80% of American's aircraft are narrow-bodies from the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 737 family. It is the largest A320 family aircraft operator in the world, as well as the largest operator of the A319 and A321 variants.[4]
American's wide-body aircraft are all Boeing airliners; however, the majority of the airline’s total fleet consists of Airbus aircraft. American Airlines is the world's largest operator of the 787-8, the smallest variant of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.[5]
American exclusively ordered Boeing aircraft throughout the 2000s.[6] This strategy shifted on July 20, 2011, when American announced the largest combined aircraft order in history for 460 narrow-body jets: 260 aircraft from the Airbus A320 family and 200 Boeing 737s, consisting of 100 Boeing 737NG, 100 737 MAX, 130 Airbus A320ceo family and 130 A320neo family.[7][8] Additional Airbus aircraft joined the fleet in 2013 after the merger with US Airways, which operated a nearly all Airbus fleet.[9] As of March 2024, American has 331 aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing.
