AMR Corp.'s (AMR) American Airlines said it's bidding to become the sole provider of maintenance for North American companies that buy Boeing Co. (BA) 787 aircraft with a service program.
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has an order backlog of 377 planes valued at more than $60 billion, which the company says is its most successful aircraft introduction.
Since late 2004, American, the world's largest airline, has focused on winning third-party maintenance contracts to boost revenue, help stem losses and preserve jobs. The approach differs from most other U.S. carriers, which in recent years have increased use of contractors outside the United States to cut costs.
