In advance, American Airlines announced that it is retiring its aircraft fleets Boeing 757, 767, Airbus 330 and embraer 190.
Last month, American Airlines announced plans to accelerate the retirement of some older, less fuel-efficient aircraft from its fleet earlier than originally planned. As scheduling and aircraft needs adjust during this period of record low demand for the coronavirus, American will take the unique step of retiring a total of five aircraft types.
American retires its Boeing 757, 767, Airbus 330 and embraer 190
American officially retired the fleets Embraer E190 and Boeing 767, which were originally scheduled to retire at the end of 2020. The airline has also accelerated the withdrawal of its Boeing 757 y Airbus A330-300. What's more, American is withdrawing 19 Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft operated by PSA Airlines.
These changes remove operational complexity and will bring cost savings and efficiencies associated with operating fewer aircraft types.. It will also help the American focus on flying more advanced aircraft as we continue to receive new deliveries from the Airbus A321neo and the family Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 787.
American's narrow-body fleet is also streamlined with just two cab types: the Airbus A320 and Boeing families 737. This benefits American's operational performance through training efficiency and optimized maintenance..
American continues to evaluate its itinerary and remains committed to taking care of its customers.. These changes will help continue to provide a trusted travel experience around the world., even during these uncertain times.

Enzo, sharklets are only called aircraft of the Airbus A320 family. Boeing aircraft such as the B757, B767 son winglets.
what a pity for the boeing 757, I always thought it was a fantastic plane, leaving aside its cons, it was perfect for operating on short runways, your sharklets save you fuel, and it is suitable for long flights, without forgetting its characteristic sound that always marked presence, we will have to settle (when do flights resume) with the 757 of Delta and the 757 F de dhl.
