American Airlines customers donate more than $1 million to Maui relief
American Airlines customers have donated more than $1.2 million to support relief efforts in Maui.
The contributions will help the Red Cross assist those affected by the Hawaii wildfires.
In turn, American has distributed more than 12 million AAdvantage miles to customers for their contributions.
The airline continues to support evacuation and relief efforts on Maui.
American’s focus has been to provide critical aid to the island in partnership with the American Red Cross.
Through August 31, AAdvantage members can continue to earn 10 AAdvantage bonus miles for every dollar they donate with a minimum donation of $25.
“The generosity from our AAdvantage members has been on full display the past few weeks,” said Ron DeFeo, American’s CMO.
“We are grateful to our customers who have contributed and to our partners at the Red Cross for the important work they are doing on Maui.”
American is a member of the Annual Disaster Giving Program with the Red Cross.
The American Airlines Family Fund is also assisting team members stationed on the island.
The Family Fund is supported through donations by team members and goes to help colleagues who are facing financial hardship.
