AMR Corporation refers to the former parent company of American Airlines, one of the major airlines in the United States. Operating as a holding company, AMR Corporation encompassed several subsidiaries involved in different aspects of the aviation industry. The company was headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
AMR Corporation played a significant role in the airline industry, particularly through its primary subsidiary American Airlines. As one of the largest airlines globally, American Airlines operated an extensive network of domestic and international flights.
The corporation provided various services and products related to air transportation, including passenger and cargo services. American Airlines served numerous destinations worldwide, offering a range of travel choices to passengers.
AMR Corporation's activities extended beyond American Airlines. It also held ownership of other aviation-related businesses, such as American Eagle Airlines, which functioned as a regional carrier for American Airlines.
However, it is essential to note that AMR Corporation no longer exists in its original form. In 2012, the company filed for bankruptcy protection due to financial challenges, and as a result, underwent a significant restructuring process. Ultimately, in 2013, the corporation merged with US Airways Group to form the new entity, American Airlines Group Inc., bringing AMR Corporation's operations to a close.
