FOR RELEASE: Tuesday, February 8, 2000

              AMR DECLARES STOCK DIVIDEND AND SETS
                   TIMELINE FOR SABRE SPIN-OFF

     FORT  WORTH, Texas -- AMR Corp., parent company of  American
Airlines,  Inc. announced today that its Board of  Directors  has
set the timeline for the previously announced spin-off of its 83%
interest  in  Sabre Holdings Corporation (Sabre).  Sabre  is  the
global  leader  in  the  travel  and  transportation  information
technology  business, and the parent company of  Travelocity.com,
one of the largest online travel sites on the internet.
     AMR shareholders of record at the close of business on March
1,  2000 will receive approximately 0.7 shares of Sabre for  each
share  of  AMR  owned on that date.  The stock dividend  will  be
distributed after close of business on March 15, 2000.   The  New
York Stock Exchange is expected to begin trading in shares of AMR
- -- minus its ownership in Sabre -- on a when-issued basis in late
February.
     AMR  will distribute approximately 107 million common shares
of  Sabre.   Approximately 23 million Sabre shares  are  publicly
traded  currently.  AMR has received a ruling from  the  Internal
Revenue  Service that the spin-off of Sabre will be  tax-free  to
AMR and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
     In a related announcement, Sabre announced that its Board of
Directors  had  declared a one-time $675 million  cash  dividend,
payable on February 18, 2000 to holders of record of Sabre common
stock  on  February  15,  2000.  AMR  will  receive  proceeds  of
approximately  $560  million.  AMR expects to  use  the  dividend
proceeds to enhance its already strong balance sheet.  Over time,
it  will also enable AMR to pursue options to invest in its  core
airline business.
