American Airlines Group has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting record revenue of US$13.7 billion. Despite the strong performance, the airline posted a GAAP net loss of US$114 million, equivalent to US$(0.17) per diluted share.

Excluding net special items, American Airlines reported an adjusted net loss of US$111 million, also US$(0.17) per diluted share. The results reflect continued cost pressures and operational challenges, though these were partly offset by solid travel demand and improved efficiency.

For the fourth quarter, the carrier expects adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to range between US$0.45 and US$0.75. Full-year adjusted EPS is projected between US$0.65 and US$0.95.

The airline also anticipates generating more than US$1 billion in free cash flow for the full year, highlighting its stable liquidity and ongoing efforts to strengthen its balance sheet.

American Airlines said it remains focused on cost management, network optimisation, and enhancing the customer experience as it operates in a competitive post-pandemic market. The company expressed confidence in its long-term strategy to increase profitability and deliver sustainable value to shareholders.
