American Airlines flight 590 from Tampa to Phoenix was preparing to take off this morning when tires on the right main gear burst. The pilots rejected takeoff at a speed of around 150 knots and vacated the runway at the last turnoff. A fire ensued and after several minutes fire crew responded.
A passenger off of Saturday’s American Airliens flight 2213 from Los Cabos, Mexico to Dallas – Fort Worth shared that as they deplaned the aircraft on arrival, they were allowed to walk straight into the terminal – rather than being diverted to immigration and customs as you’d suspect arriving off of an international flight.

Data from Aviation analytics company Cirium shows that American Airlines offers the most seats of any airline this summer. Using schedule data for this month, they edge out Southwest Airlines as the largest carrier by the measure. Both American and Southwest have a heavily domestic-focused network, and don’t fly their seats as far as United Airlines (or Delta).
Overall domestic scheduled seats are up 6% year-over-year despite aircraft delivery delays, especially by Boeing. Seats are up 7.8% across the Atlantic this month with Delta just a hair’s breadth behind United Airlines.

I haven’t written about Bask Bank since last summer, even though it’s one of the best ways to earn miles without actually spending money.
The Bask Mileage Savings Account awards 2.5 American Airlines AAdvantage®️ Bonus Miles per dollar saved annually. It’s a savings account that awards miles instead of money. This is one of the highest returns possible, and there are attractive tax reasons to like this as well.
American Airlines flight 3921 from Chicago O’Hare to Manchester, New Hampshire near Boston diverted to Buffalo on Wednesday when a passenger urinated in the aisle of the Embraer E-170 aircraft operated by wholly-owned regional carrier Envoy Air.
A United Airlines passenger thought he was having a horrible travel day. He didn’t know how good he had it – because he was flying United.
The man was connecting. His first flight was delayed for maintenance, but he made it through the airport while his next flight was still boarding.
Three years ago American Airlines promoted a hypothetical maybe order for electric aircraft using taxpayer bailout funds. Now they’re promoting a hypothetical maybe order for hydrogen-fueled aircraft while positioning themselves as unable to afford higher wages for flight attendants.
