List of American Airlines accidents and incidents information
History of American Airlines accidents
As of March 2019, American Airlines has had almost sixty aircraft hull losses, beginning with the crash of an Ford 5-AT-C Trimotor in August 1931.[1][2] Of the hull losses, most were propeller driven aircraft, including three Lockheed L-188 Electra aircraft (of which one, the crash in 1959 of Flight 320, resulted in fatalities).[2] The two accidents with the highest fatalities in both the airline's and U.S. aviation history were Flight 191 in 1979 and Flight 587 in 2001.[3]
Out of the 17 hijackings of American Airlines flights, two aircraft were hijacked and destroyed in the September 11 attacks: Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon.[4] Flight 11, which is responsible for an estimated 1700 deaths, is the deadliest air crash in the history of aviation.
There were two training flight accidents in which the crew was killed and six that resulted in no fatalities.[2] Another four jet aircraft have been written off due to incidents while they were parked between flights or while undergoing maintenance.[2]
