American Airlines’ operations to and from Mexico will run normally despite the announcement this week that its parent company AMR is seeking chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to significant losses over the last few years.
The filings will have “no direct legal impact on American’s operations outside the United States,” an AMR press release said.
“There won’t be any changes,” said AA’s communications director Martha Pantin, who stressed that the airline is committed to Mexico having added four new routes to Mexico this year.
American currently controls 13 percent of Mexico’s international market share and in October transported 230,000 passengers, 8 percent more than the previous month.
The decision to restructure the airline is the result of stalled negations with unions over the lowering of labor coats.
