BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about American Airlines
With its many moving parts, the campaign brought exceptional value to all those involved. Our strategic alliances with our travel trade partners (tour operators, airlines, hotels) and top global consumer brands not only raised Hong Kong's profile in a dynamic, evolving marketplace, but also gave American international travelers an easy way to book the destination
said Lillibeth Bishop
I believe this is a testament to the quality, consistency and excellence of the American Airlines service and brand. I am pleased and honored to congratulate such a fine airline on a well-deserved win!

Ever since American Airlines introduced the first frequent flyer rewards program almost 30 years ago, little has changed in appealing to greed as the motivator for joining a rewards program. Savvy&Smart takes the social networking benefit provided by a site like Facebook and makes it as important as the monetary reward a member earns. Savvy & Smart is the new face of loyalty for the digital age.
said Stan Rapp
I do think passengers are seeing improvements out there, not just on American but on most of the airlines.

It is almost too surreal for words ... Next up, I'm guessing, is that American Airlines employees won't be allowed to fly on AA planes -- too damn dangerous.

Hainan Airlines' failure to comply with the court order is perplexing given that they are currently seeking United States Department of Transportation approval to expand their service to additional locations in the United States. The law requires that air carriers who operate in this country respect and comply with orders of American courts

Looking at the U.S. Big Six -- American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United, and US Airways (soon to be the 'Big Five' with the merger of Delta and Northwest), Continental led in most categories, as it did in the 2007 Zagat Airline Survey. It was also deemed the 'best value' among all airlines for international flights.

American Airlines as the only carriers in the world to offer full Internet access.

There are just too many dependencies that American Airlines cannot control, such as the chance that there will be different scanners at different airports, the possibility my phone might go to sleep or reboot right when I am checking in, and the strength of my mobile Internet signal at the airport (which can be sometimes dodgy).

When a government says you can't designate more than two or three airlines to fly from a city in the US to Cancun, the losers are the hotels, the industry in Cancun ... The winners are those protected airlines that are among the selected few that are already in the market. . .As a government official, it's not my business to protect oligopolies. Other [Latin American] governments need to follow the example of Chile [and] the Central American countries [that are] looking at the possibilities of liberalization.
