Capacity Purchase Agreements with Third-Party Regional Airlines

During 2012, American entered into capacity purchase agreements with SkyWest Airlines, Inc. (SkyWest) and with ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. (ExpressJet), both wholly owned subsidiaries of SkyWest, Inc., to provide 50-seat regional jet feed. Both airlines operate the services under the American Eagle^® brand. SkyWest began service from Los Angeles International Airport on November 15, 2012, and ExpressJet began service from Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport on February 14, 2013. In addition, Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. (Chautauqua) continues to operate under the brand AmericanConnection^®under a capacity purchase agreement with American.

On January 23, 2013, American entered into a 12-year capacity purchase agreement with Republic Airlines Inc. (Republic), a subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, to provide large regional jet flying. Through the agreement, Republic will acquire 47 Embraer E-175 aircraft featuring a two-class cabin with 12 first class seats and 64 seats in the main cabin. The aircraft, which will fly under the American Eagle^® brand, began phasing into operation at approximately two to three aircraft per month beginning in August 2013. All 47 aircraft are expected to be in operation by the first quarter of 2015.

As of September 30, 2013, American's minimum fixed obligations under its capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional airlines were as follows (approximately, in millions):



	Remainder of 2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018 and Beyond		Total
Minimum fixed obligations under its capacity purchase agreements with third-party regional airlines ⁽¹⁾	$	67	$	521	$	670	$	676	$	520	$	4,360	$	6,814

(1)

These obligations contemplate minimum levels of flying by the third-party airlines under the respective agreements and also reflect assumptions regarding certain costs associated with the minimum levels of flying such as the cost of fuel, insurance, catering, property tax and landing fees. Accordingly, actual payments under these agreements could differ materially from the minimum fixed obligations set forth above.

Other

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, attempts to prosecute, collect, secure or enforce remedies with respect to prepetition claims against the Debtors are subject to the automatic stay provisions of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, except in such cases where the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order modifying or lifting the automatic stay. Notwithstanding the general application of the automatic stay described above, governmental authorities, both domestic and foreign, may determine to continue actions brought under their regulatory powers. Therefore, the automatic stay may have no effect on certain matters, and the Debtors cannot predict the impact, if any, that its Chapter 11 Cases might have on its commitments and obligations.
