A:American Airlines and US Airways combine two complementary networks, creating easier access to the best destinations throughout the U.S. and around the globe. With continued membership in theoneworld® alliance, the new American's customers will have access to an even greater range of destinations, airline choices, and mileage earning and redemption opportunities.
Q:What does the merger mean for the joint business relationship American has with British Airways, Iberia, Japan Airlines and Qantas?
A:American remains fully committed to its joint business agreements with British Airways and Iberia, Japan Airlines and Qantas. The new combined American Airlines will be a stronger airline with a broader route network bringing even greater benefits to the joint business relationships.
Q:Will you discontinue any of existing relationships with AAdvantage business partners?
A:At this time, American and US Airways will remain separate companies and each company will maintain its current loyalty program. There is no impact to the AAdvantage program and at this time we do not have any plans to discontinue any of our existing relationships.
Once the merger is complete, the new American will evaluate how best to structure its loyalty program. Ultimately, the combined company is expected to offer members more opportunities to earn and burn miles from an expanded global network of routes and partnerships, unmatched redemption options including flights, hotels, car rentals, vacation packages, one-way awards and lounge memberships, and much more. We expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2013, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions, and will keep you updated throughout the process.
