For nearly 7 years there have been no direct commercial flights between the U.S. and Venezuela.
Under President Trump we're changing that today. Flights between Miami and Caracas restored.

We’ve been waiting for a moment like this. 💯🎉
To celebrate our 100th anniversary, American trading cards are taking flight.
Starting soon, pilots will be sharing collectible cards featuring some of the aircraft from our current fleet, plus special centennial editions honoring iconic planes like the DC‑3, 707 and MD‑80. Each card includes aircraft specs, diagrams and fascinating facts that make every flight a little more memorable.
Flying with us this summer? Ask your pilot and start collecting. ✈️

What happened at DCA yesterday was not a near miss and not classified under @FAANews NMAC system. Separation was maintained at all times. Let’s not conflate a very serious incident (Midway) with a standard practice

One of the greats – the Boeing 707 – made history today in 1959, when it flew American Airlines first transcontinental jet passenger route in a record-breaking 4-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York. One of the passengers was 89-year-old Gilbert Wright who made his first trip west from Illinois to California by train in 1883 (which took seven days and seven nights!). Sometimes, things seem long ago, but our connections to the past are often quite close.
