FOR RELEASE: Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2003

          AMR PRICES SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE 2023

FORT WORTH, Texas - AMR Corp. (NYSE:AMR), the parent company of
American Airlines, Inc., today announced the pricing of a private
placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") of $300
million principal amount of 4.25 percent senior convertible notes
due 2023. The sale of the notes is expected to close on Sept. 23,
2003 subject to customary closing conditions.

Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually in arrears.
Each note will be convertible, under certain circumstances, into
AMR common stock at a conversion ratio of 57.61 shares per $1,000
principal amount of notes. This represents an equivalent
conversion price of $17.36 per share (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances), or a 32 percent premium over the New York
Stock Exchange closing price for the company's common shares of
$13.15 on Sept. 17, 2003.

AMR may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, in cash on or
after Sept. 23, 2008. Up to an additional $50 million principal
amount of the notes may be sold upon the exercise of a 30-day
option granted to the initial purchaser of the notes.

AMR said the notes are to be guaranteed by American Airlines,
Inc. AMR plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation
to buy any of these notes and shall not constitute an offer,
solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale is unlawful.

The notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the
notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration under, or an applicable
exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws.
