The recovery in demand is also leaving its mark on the American airline. American Airlines is expected to be in the black in the third quarter.

The bottom line is a profit of 135 to 190 million US dollars, as reported by the aviation portal Aero. But this is not just a result of one's own earnings. The state financial injections to secure jobs have also made a significant contribution to this. Because if you thought away this support, a loss of 620 to 675 million US dollars would be expected.

The slump in business caused by the corona pandemic had plunged American Airlines, like the entire aviation industry, into an existential crisis last year. The US government helped companies with money that they were only allowed to use for the salaries of their employees.
