American preps for over 12 million Christmas fliers
American Airlines is expecting to carry nearly 12.7 million fliers over the Christmas and New Year period.
It will operate 118,000 flights from Dec. 18, 2024, to Jan. 6, 2025.
“American delivered industry-leading operational performance over Thanksgiving, and I’d like to thank our team members for their hard work,” said David Seymour, American’s COO.
“We look forward to continuing that momentum as millions once again take to the skies for holiday gatherings and winter vacations.”
American’s operation has been fully ‘winterized’ to safely and successfully operate this winter.
The airline’s deicing operation is also ready and is already well underway at many cold-weather airports.
During the 2024 Thanksgiving travel period, American canceled the fewest mainline flights compared to its major network competitors.
The busiest day will be Friday, Dec. 27, followed by Friday, Dec. 20.
Around 1,500 mainline and regional aircraft will travel more than 102 million miles during the travel period.
