Due to the prolonged government shutdown, the FAA has directed all U.S. airlines, including American Airlines, to reduce flight schedules at select airports beginning Friday, November 7.

International long-haul flights are not impacted, and we’re working to ensure minimal impact to our cargo customers, while continuing to support essential travel and freight movement across both domestic and international markets.

Our teams are working proactively to ensure continuity for our cargo customers. If any shipment is affected, our Customer Experience team will notify you directly and provide alternative solutions. No action is required on your part at this time.

We deeply appreciate your continued partnership and patience. Our teams, both on the ground and in the air, are focused on delivering reliable service and safeguarding the transport of goods across the globe.

We remain grateful to the air traffic controllers, TSA officers, CBP officers and other federal employees who are working right now without pay, all to ensure our customers get where they need to be safely, as well as our American Airlines team members who always work to take the best care of our customers.

Thank you for choosing American Airlines Cargo.

• American Airlines Cargo does not accept shipments classified as munitions of war on transatlantic flights operated by American. This includes:

• • Military weapons and ammunition
• • Parts of, or specifically designed for, such weapons and ammunition

This policy aligns with international regulations and reflects our commitment to safe and compliant cargo operations.

This restriction does not apply to components of military equipment and vehicles (e.g. aircraft engines, landing gear) that are not weapons or designed to deliver or enable combat effects.

All bookings that may overfly European airspace are subject to the restriction, including flights between the U.S. and the U.K., EU, and Middle East.

We are reviewing system updates, policy and process revisions that may enable more precise booking controls in the future.

American Airlines is committed to complying with all applicable rules and regulations. Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your business and continued support.
