AMERICAN AIRLINES AND THE ALLIED PILOTS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCE
AGREEMENT ON EXTENDED LONG-HAUL FLYING
FORT WORTH, Texas – As part of their shared goal to position American Airlines to
compete effectively in the global air travel market, American and the Allied Pilots
Association (APA), the union representing American’s pilots, today announced they have
reached an Agreement to allow American Airlines to begin non-stop flights between
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Indira Gandhi International Airport

is a big step towards that goal.”
