Item 8.01 Other Events
American Airlines, Inc. (American), AMR Corporation’s principal subsidiary, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Sabre to continue providing travel agencies with access to the same full fare and schedule content that they currently receive from American via the Sabre Global Distribution System. The agreement is effective immediately and remains in effect until 14 days after American’s antitrust claims now pending against Sabre in Texas state court have been resolved. No trial date in that lawsuit has yet been set, but American expects that those legal proceedings could last well into 2012. In addition, American intends to continue to work with Sabre to define the basis of their future relationship.
