As of May 2016, American Airlines operates a mainline fleet of 945 aircraft, making it the largest commercial fleet in the world.[citation needed] It primarily operates a mix of Airbus and Boeing (including McDonnell Douglas) narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, as well as one narrow-body variant from Embraer. American is currently in the process of the largest fleet renewal in its history, with over 300 aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing.[1] American Airlines also announced a new livery to be painted on all aircraft. American Airlines expects to be done repainting all aircraft by the end of 2017, and has repainted a majority of its widebody aircraft.[2]

Current fleet

All US Airways airframes were transferred to American Airlines on April 8, 2015 when a Single Operating Certificate was awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration.[3]

American is the largest operator of Airbus A320 family aircraft in the world.[4][n 1] It operates the largest fleet of A321 aircraft, and has the second largest A319 fleet, only behind easyJet.[4] American also operates the fourth largest fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation family aircraft worldwide (behind Ryanair, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines), while having the second largest fleet of the Boeing 737-800 variant (the only Next Generation variant used by American), trailing Ryanair.[5]

The following table represents all American Airlines mainline fleet types and layouts in service (including US Airways airframes) as of May 2016.[6][7]
