For businesses that plan to ship frequently
1Apply for an account
Since we’re a passenger airline, it’s important that any business shipping goods with us be designated as a Known Shipper in coordination with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Once your business has an account with us as a Known Shipper, you can work with your sales representative to get rates and book capacity for your shipments on American Airlines aircraft.

Once you've been assigned a PAL number, you will need to complete our Company Agreement form to request a User ID and Password that will give you access to the services available on our website. This is where you can even assign a Super Administrator and designate who's allowed access to sensitive information.
