AMR - American Airlines DFW, Texas - Publicly Held Corporation Headquarters on Waymarking.com

From AA.com

At the company’s annual meeting in May 1982, stockholders approved a plan of reorganization under which a new holding company, AMR Corporation, was formed and became the parent company of American Airlines. The reorganization took effect on Oct. 1, 1982. The formation of AMR had no effect on day-to-day operations of American, but it did – and still does – provide the company with access to sources of financing that otherwise might not be available. The holding company structure also allows the company to take advantage of appropriate new opportunities. The name “AMR” was taken from the airline’s three-letter New York Stock Exchange trading symbol. It simply stands for “American.”

Today, AMR is the parent company of both American Airlines, Inc. and American Eagle Airlines, Inc., and has a number of businesses and key facilities within its corporate structure. The company is also a founding member of the global oneworld Alliance. All aspects of the airline’s worldwide activities are oveseen from AMR’s Corporate Headquarters campus in Fort Worth, Texas. AMR’s businesses and key facilities include:

Corporate Headquarters Campus
Located in two modern office buildings along Amon Carter Boulevard in Fort Worth’s CentrePort commercial park, AMR’s headquarters occupies a total of about 1.4 million square feet and is home to more than 4,300 employees. The Headquarters was relocated to Fort Worth from New York City in July and August of 1979. Just a few minutes south of DFW International Airport, site of American’s largest connecting hub, the Headquarters is at the heart of the airline’s global route network, an important advantage in managing what is truly a worldwide enterprise.
