When most people think of American Airlines, they think of American Eagle. This is because American Airlines is the only airline that exclusively uses the American Eagle name. American Eagle is the brand name of American Airlines’ regional airline subsidiary, American Eagle Airlines.
The American Eagle name is used to market American Airlines’ services to smaller and medium-sized communities. American Eagle Airlines is the fourth largest airline in the United States, behind American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines.
American Eagle Airlines was founded in 1993. Prior to its founding, American Airlines used the name American Airlines Express. American Eagle Airlines was founded to provide air service to small and medium-sized communities that were not able to be served by American Airlines or its subsidiaries.
American Eagle Airlines first operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, but it was later spun off into its own company. American Eagle Airlines is now a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, which is a subsidiary of American Airlines Group.
American Eagle Airlines has a fleet of 38 aircraft. American Eagle Airlines services include scheduled passenger and cargo flights, charter flights, and air ambulance services.
American Eagle Airlines is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
