| American Airlines History |
American Airlines developed from a conglomeration of about 82 small airlines through a series of corporate acquisitions and reorganizations. Initially, the name American Airways was used as a common brand by a number of independent air carriers. These included Southern Air Transport in Texas, Southern Air Fast Express (SAFE) in the western US, Universal Aviation in the Midwest, which operated a transcontinental air/rail route in 1929, and Colonial Air Transport in the Northeast.
On January 25, 1930, American Airways was incorporated as a single company, with routes from Boston, New York and Chicago, Illinois to Dallas, and a transcontinental route from Dallas to Los Angeles. The airline operated its routes with all-metal Fokker Trimotors and Ford Trimotors. In 1934 American began flying Curtiss Condor biplanes fitted with sleeping berths. |
