American Airlines Group amended three major credit agreements on March 5, 2026, expanding its revolving credit commitments from $3.0 billion to $3.11 billion while extending maturity dates by nearly two years.

The carrier secured the additional $110 million in borrowing capacity across three separate facilities. The 2014 Revolving Facility received $1.295 billion in incremental commitments with $195 million in new letter of credit capacity. The 2013 Revolving Facility added $362.8 million in incremental commitments with $155 million in new letter of credit capacity. The 2023 Revolving Facility increased by $1.451 billion in commitments.

All three facilities now mature on March 5, 2031, an extension from the previous June 4, 2029 maturity date. The amendments were executed through the Eleventh Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement (administered by Citibank), the Eleventh Amendment to the 2013 Credit Agreement (administered by Barclays Bank), and the Fourth Amendment to the 2023 Credit Agreement (administered by Citibank).

The company terminated all pre-existing revolving commitments under the prior agreements and replaced them with substantially similar terms under the amended facilities. The changes represent American Airlines’ effort to shore up its liquidity position and extend its debt maturity profile as the airline industry navigates operational challenges.

Devon E. May, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, signed the filing on behalf of both American Airlines and American Airlines Group on March 9, 2026. The amendments were disclosed in separate exhibits attached to the 8-K filing, with certain provisions redacted in accordance with SEC regulations.
