Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
            Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
            of the Registrant.

     On  November  8,  2005, the New York  City  Industrial
Development  Agency  (the "IDA") issued $800 million  of  special
facility revenue bonds on behalf of American Airlines, Inc.  (the
"Company").  Proceeds from the bonds generally will  be  used  to
finance  or reimburse the Company for certain construction  costs
related  to  the  Company's  new  terminal  at  John  F.  Kennedy
International  Airport.   The Company  is  responsible  for  debt
service  on  the  bonds  and will consolidate  the  debt  in  its
financial  statements.   The bonds are  guaranteed  by  both  the
Company  and  AMR  Corporation  ("AMR"),  the  Company's   parent
corporation.   The  Company's  and  AMR's obligations under these
guaranties are secured by a mortgage of its interest in its lease
of the terminal  and  related property from the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey.

     The  bonds  were  issued in different  maturities  and  bear
interest as follows:

                         Maturity
                           Date
      Amount            (August 1)          Interest Rate
    $59,290,000            2011                7.125%
    $90,040,000            2016                7.500%
   $230,700,000            2025                7.625%
   $118,020,000            2028                8.000%
   $301,950,000            2031                7.750%

     The  bonds, in aggregate, priced at approximately 97% of par
value;  thus, net of original issue discount, proceeds  from  the
offering  were approximately $775 million.  Of that amount,  $206
million was placed in escrow to reimburse the Company for  future
remaining construction costs between now and the end of 2007.  An
additional  $77  million was escrowed for debt service  reserves,
ultimately  offsetting some of the Company's future debt  service
obligation through 2031.  After these items, and issuance fees of
approximately  $20  million, the Company,  at  closing,  received
approximately $470 million as reimbursement of construction costs
incurred to date.

     The  bonds  maturing  after August 1, 2016  are  subject  to
optional redemption during specified periods.  The bonds maturing
prior  to  August 1, 2016 are not subject to optional redemption.
The  bonds of each maturity are subject to mandatory sinking fund
redemption  at  specified  dates.  In  addition,  the  bonds  are
subject  to  mandatory redemption if the lease  under  which  the
Company  leases the terminal to the IDA is terminated  (including
by  reason  of  the  termination of the Company's  lease  of  the
terminal  from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey)  or
if interest on the bonds is determined to be taxable.

     Amounts payable with respect to the bonds can be accelerated
upon  the  occurrence  of certain events  of  default,  including
failure to pay principal and interest when due and the occurrence
of certain bankruptcy events with respect to the Company or AMR.
