AMR Corporation (OTCQB: AAMRQ) is a commercial aviation business and airline holding company based in Fort Worth, Texas, United States.[2] Formed in 1982, as part of American Airlines's non-bankruptcy reorganization into a Delaware corporation, its name derives from American Airlines's ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition to American Airlines, AMR owns TWA Airlines LLC, (formerly Trans World Airlines) and regional airlines American Eagle Airlines, successor to Simmons Airlines, and Executive Airlines by way of AMR Eagle Holdings Corporation. Chautauqua Airlines flown in conjunction with American Airlines marketing brand, known as AmericanConnection, are independent of AMR Corporation's divisions and subsidiaries, but do operate in conjunction with them in order to provide seamless connections to AMR's two principal airline holdings. AMR's and AA's Chairman, President, and CEO is Thomas W. Horton.[3]
On 29 November 2011, AMR Corporation filed for Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy.[4] The Air Transport Association group said that unofficial research states that AMR was the 100th airline company to go into bankruptcy protection since 1990.[5]
On 2 December 2011, AMR Corporation was replaced by Alaska Air Group in the Dow Jones Transportation Average.
In early February 2012 the company said it will eliminate 13,000 jobs or about 18 percent (including 15 percent management positions) of American's 73,800 employees to cut annual operating costs by 20 percent or $2 billion and boost revenue by $1 billion.[6] Since 2001, accumultive losses of the company was $11 billion.[7]

[edit] Property
AMR Corporation owns a five story townhouse, London Residence LON6526, in Cottesmore Gardens, Kensington, London. As of 2011 it is worth 30 million U.S. dollars. Many large companies own or rent property for use of executives who are working abroad. When AMR Corporation asked for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, LON6526 was one of the eight owned properties the company declared.[14] The airline purchased the complex in 1992 for 6.3 million British pounds ($9.8 million U.S.). Nina Campbell, an interior designer, had renovated the property. Sean Collins, an AMR spokesperson, said that AMR may sell the townhouse.[15] Richard Tilton, a lawyer with specialization in bankruptcy and the director of Sheldon Good & Co., said that the property is "like the corporate jets that the executives at GM and Chrysler were forced to give up during their reorganizations," and "Symbols of corporate suite excess are not likely to survive a Chapter 11 reorganization that is supposed to be fair and equitable."[15]
