In 2024, American Airlines Cargo derived around 15% of its cargo revenue from interline transits, highlighting the significance of strategic partnerships for optimizing its global network, according to President Greg Schwendinger. He noted unique interline partnerships facilitate cargo routing through leisure destinations in Europe and hubs like Honolulu and Tokyo. The airline plans a transatlantic network expansion with 300 additional monthly departures and is investing in digital technologies like AI for efficiency. Despite rising interest in sustainable aviation fuel, cost remains a barrier for many customers. Overall, Schwendinger expressed cautious optimism for continued strong demand.
