American Airlines expects deeper 2026 loss on pricier fuel despite record revenue

American Airlines forecast deeper losses this year as record revenue failed to help the airline recover from this year's spike in fuel costs. In July, it forecast earnings of up to 65 cents a share to a loss of as low as 65 cents a share.

American on Thursday said it expects to lose between $1 and $1.60 a share, on an adjusted basis for the full year.
