     Statements  in  this report contain various  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of  the  Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended, and Section 21E  of  the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the  Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  When  used  in
this  document,  the  words  "expects",  "plans,"  "anticipates,"
"indicates,"  "believes," "forecast," "guidance,"  "outlook"  and
similar  expressions  are  intended to  identify  forward-looking
statements.    Forward-looking   statements   include,    without
limitation, the Company's expectations concerning operations  and
financial conditions, including changes in capacity, revenues and
costs,   future  financing  plans  and  needs,  overall  economic
conditions, plans and objectives for future operations,  and  the
impact  on  the  Company of its results of operations  in  recent
years  and  the sufficiency of its financial resources to  absorb
that  impact. Other forward-looking statements include statements
which  do not relate solely to historical facts, such as, without
limitation, statements which discuss the possible future  effects
of  current known trends or uncertainties or which indicate  that
the  future  effects of known trends or uncertainties  cannot  be
predicted, guaranteed or assured.  All forward-looking statements
in  this report are based on information available to the Company
on  the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation
to  publicly  update  or  revise any  forward-looking  statement,
whether  as  a  result  of  new  information,  future  events  or
otherwise.   This document includes forecasts of  unit  cost  and
revenue  performance, fuel prices and fuel hedging, capacity  and
traffic estimates, other income/expense estimates, and statements
regarding  the Company's liquidity, each of which is  a  forward-
looking statement.  Forward-looking statements are subject  to  a
number  of factors that could cause the Company's actual  results
to  differ  materially  from  the  Company's  expectations.   The
following  factors,  in addition to other  possible  factors  not
listed,  could  cause  the  Company's actual  results  to  differ
materially  from  those expressed in forward-looking  statements:
changes  in  economic,  business and  financial  conditions;  the
Company's  substantial indebtedness; continued high  fuel  prices
and  the availability of fuel; further increases in the price  of
fuel; the impact of events in Iraq; conflicts in the Middle  East
or  elsewhere; the highly competitive business environment  faced
by  the Company, characterized by increasing pricing transparency
and competition from low cost carriers and financially distressed
carriers;  historically low fare levels and  fare  simplification
initiatives   (both   of  which  could  result   in   a   further
deterioration  of the revenue environment); the  ability  of  the
Company  to reduce its costs further without adversely  affecting
operational  performance and service levels;  uncertainties  with
respect to the Company's international operations; changes in the
Company's   business  strategy;  actions  by  U.S.   or   foreign
government   agencies;  the  possible  occurrence  of  additional
terrorist attacks; another outbreak of a disease (such  as  SARS)
that  affects travel behavior; uncertainties with respect to  the
Company's  relationships with unionized and other  employee  work
groups;   the  inability  of  the  Company  to  satisfy  existing
financial or other covenants in certain of its credit agreements;
the  availability and terms of future financing; the  ability  of
the  Company  to reach acceptable agreements with third  parties;
and  increased  insurance  costs  and  potential  reductions   of
available  insurance coverage.  Additional information concerning
these  and other factors is contained in the Company's Securities
and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31, 2004.

This Eagle Eye provides updated guidance for the third quarter
and the full year 2005.

Performance Update

Costs:  Unit cost forecasts are attached.  Changes in unit costs
from prior guidance are primarily attributed to higher fuel prices
and less capacity.

Special Items:  In the third quarter, AMR expects to incur a one-
time charge of $80.4 million dollars for a contract termination.
This is expected to be somewhat offset by a one-time credit of $22.1
million related to the reversal of an insurance reserve, following
a favorable legal decision.

Revenue:  Third quarter mainline unit revenue is expected to
increase between 11.5% and 12.5% year over year.  Consolidated
third quarter unit revenue is expected to increase between 10.5%
and 11.5% year over year.

Liquidity:   We expect to end the third quarter with a  cash  and
short-term  investment balance well over $3.5 billion,  including
approximately  $500  million in restricted  cash  and  short-term
investments.

Below the Line Income/Expenses

    Total Other Income/(Expense) is estimated at ($205) million
    in the third quarter of 2005

1/ Data is as reported and includes a net charge of $58 million
   in September and 3Q05, reflecting a contract termination and
   the reversal of an insurance  reserve, following a favorable
   legal decision.
   2005 data also includes a $55 million special fuel tax credit
   received in 1Q05.
   
2/ The company believes that unit costs excluding fuel and
   special items are useful to investors in monitoring
   the performance of the company's costs excluding the
   volatility of fuel and one-time items.  Reconciliation to
   GAAP follows:
