American Airlines

American Airlines is an airline based in the state of Texas in the United States, operating scheduled domestic and international services.

History
American Airlines was started in 1930 via a union of more than eighty small airlines.

American Airlines absorbed Trans World Airlines (TWA) in 2004 and US Airways in 2015.

American Airlines in British Columbia
American Airlines operates flights between Vancouver and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, Los Angeles, California, Phoenix, Arizona, and St Louis, Missouri; the latter was inaugurated by TWA in 1979. It also operates a non-stop service between Victoria and New York City. TWA also operated a Victoria–St Louis service, but this was discontinued by American in 2006.

Although American was never a direct customer of De Havilland BC, through the absorption of TWA it acquired six DHBC-7 Trident 7D and twenty DHBC-7 Trident 8 airliners. The six Trident 7D were retired in 2005 and 2007 (three each year); the Trident 8s were retired between 2006 and 2015.
