At American Airlines, sustainability means delivering the benefits of air travel while protecting the planet. We’re the first U.S. airline with a clear path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Climate change is a pressing global challenge, and we’re committed to doing our part to address it. We’ve worked to increase our fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help plan a low-carbon future.
As the first airline to receive validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its intermediate carbon emissions reduction goal, American is actively incorporating sustainability at every level of the business. American operates the youngest, simplest, most efficient fleet among U.S. network carriers and is an industry leader in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) consumption.
At American, we believe in putting our extensive resources to good use by contributing to the communities we touch. Through our philanthropic efforts and local presence, we’re working to better the lives of those around us.
