AAL 2019 Proxy Statement
Communications with the Board of Directors and Non-Management Directors The Board of Directors has approved procedures to facilitate communications between the directors and employees, stockholders and other interested third parties. Pursuant to these procedures, a person who desires to contact the Board of Directors, a standing committee of the Board of Directors or a director may do so in writing to the following address:
American Airlines Group Inc. The Board of Directors P.O. Box 619616, MD 5675 Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Texas 75261
We will review the communications with the directors, a standing committee of the Board of Directors or an officer, in each case depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also reviews with senior management the nature of the communications and our responses to them. Any communication relating to a stockholder nominee for a position on the Board of Directors or a stockholder proposal for business to be considered at any annual meeting of stockholders or included in any proxy statement will be sent to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. As provided in our Governance Guidelines, our Lead Independent Director, Mr. Cahill, has been designated as the primary director representative for consultation and direct communication with our stockholders. Sustaining our Business Sustainability is at the core of our business strategy and our Board has reviewed and is committed to our efforts. At American Airlines, we are thinking creatively about how we can best contribute to a vibrant future for our company, our industry and all our stakeholders. This includes delivering the right future products, in cooperation with the right partners, through the most connected network. As the world’s largest airline, we are committed to doing our part to sustain the planet for future generations of travelers. Since the merger with US Airways, we have made significant commitments to the future by substantially completing our integration, making significant investments in our team and our product, improving the efficiency of our fleet of aircraft, retiring and refinancing higher cost debt, and returning capital to our investors. We have been leading an unprecedented fleet renewal program that is keeping our fleet the youngest among U.S. network airlines. These efforts as well as other operational improvements have helped us to continue to reduce emissions associated with each passenger and each pound of cargo we carry. Over the last four years our fleet emitted almost 7.4 million metric tons of CO2 less than it would have if its fuel efficiency had remained at its 2014 level. We have also been using renewable energy in several of our North Texas facilities since 2015. As of October 2017, 100 percent of electricity purchased at our headquarters campus and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport terminals and facilities is from renewable sources. At the end of 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that we ranked 46th on its list of the largest Fortune 500 company green power users. Our commitment to the sustainability of our business is guided by these objectives: One Team, One Plan 2019 • Make Culture a Competitive Advantage: Taking care of team members translates into better customer care. Our culture reflects our emphasis on providing the right tools, training and care for our frontline team members. •
Create a World-Class Customer Experience: We have invested more than $25 billion in our team, product and fleet over the past five years—the largest investment of any carrier in commercial aviation history in such a short time. We continue to make large strides in delivering a world-class experience for our customers. • Build American Airlines to Thrive Forever : We are building a company that we expect to be profitable today and into the future, making decisions to ensure it is financially strong and forward-thinking.
