American Airlines reported a first-quarter loss and withdrew its full-year financial guidance, as rising costs and uneven travel demand weighed on performance during the early months of 2026.
The Fort Worth-based carrier posted a net loss of $312 million, or 48 cents per share, compared with a profit during the same period last year, while adjusted losses came in narrower than Wall Street expected, according to its earnings release published Thursday by CNBC. Revenue reached $12.57 billion, slightly above analyst estimates, but margins were pressured by higher labor and maintenance expenses.
