Superior Value for Our Stakeholders and Investors

The merger of American Airlines and US Airways brings together two highly complementary networks and gives us an even stronger platform from which to pursue our goal of providing the most connected, comfortable travel experience available.  The operational and financial strength of the combined airline is expected to enable continued investment in new products and technologies and will create exciting new opportunities for our people, even as we deliver strong cash flow and sustainable profitability. 

Merging US Airways with American Airlines will create significant value for American Airlines stakeholders and is projected to be significantly accretive to EPS for US Airways shareholders in 2014, who will each benefit from the substantial upside potential of the new combined airline.

With 72 percent and 28 percent ownership of the combined company, respectively, American Airlines stakeholders and US Airways shareholders will realize substantial gains from more than
$1 billion in annual net synergies in 2015, including $900 million in network revenue synergies.

Importantly, this is a merger based on growth: these synergies would be derived predominantly from increased passenger traffic taking advantage of the combined carrier’s improved schedule and connectivity; an improved mix of high-yield business; and the redeployment of the combined fleet to better match capacity to customer demand.

The combined company will retain American Airlines’ globally recognized brand. The company will be headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth and maintain a significant corporate and operational presence in Phoenix.
