These small airlines included Southern Air Transport in Texas, Southern Air Fast Express (SAFE) in the western US, Universal Aviation in the Midwest, and Colonial Air Transport in the Northeast.

By January 25, 1930, American Airways was incorporated as a single company. It was based in New York and had routes from Boston to Chicago, Illinois to Dallas, and a route from Dallas to Los Angeles. Then in 1934, E.L. Cord, who renamed the company "American Air Lines", acquired American Airways Company. Throughout its history, along with the history of the United States, American Airlines had to go through many changes and developments in order to serve more and more customers around the world.

Today, American Airlines serves 260 cities with a fleet of 670 aircraft. AA carries 12.1 million passengers between the U.S. and Latin America, which is the most than any other airline. It is also strong in the trans/inter/intra/continental market. The company also has five hubs: Dallas/Fort Worth (the airline's largest hub), Chicago, Miami, St. Louis and San Juan. Furthermore, Los Angeles, New York City-Kennedy, New York City-LaGuardia, Boston and Raleigh Airports all serve as focus cities and international gateways.

In recent years, American has begun to expand its network in Asia with introductions and a re-introduction of non-stop flight. The flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Osaka, which had been discontinued after the September 11th terrorist attacks was re-introduced in 2005 but then discontinued just a year later. The launching of non-stop service from Chicago to Nagoya was also introduced but ended within a year. The introduction of services from Chicago to Delhi and from Chicago to Shanghai, is becoming profitable.
