Air travel has rough year
Like most other airlines, American has been dealing with a downward trend in domestic and international travel and other problems.
On Christmas Eve last year, American temporarily grounded all its flights due to a "technical issue."
In January, an American Airlines flight — which was co-piloted by Jonathan Jay Campos of Ormond Beach — collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., killing 67 people. In July, passengers aboard an American Airlines flight from Denver to Miami were forced to evacuate using the emergency slides after their aircraft experienced a mechanical issue during takeoff. A former American Airlines flight attendant was sentenced to nearly two decades in prison for secretly recording young girls in airport bathrooms.
And in June, the Supreme Court declined to hear the airline's appeal after lower courts ruled against American Airlines' proposed merger with JetBlue Airways.
Traffic at Miami International Airport has also declined in 2025, down an average of 1.4% compared to the first half of 2024, the Miami Herald reported. American Airlines is MIA's largest carrier.

Frontier Airlines CEO Issues Bleak Warning About the Future of Domestic Air Travel — Including Costs and Convenience
NEED TO KNOW Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle warned that domestic airline travel may get less convenient and more expensive for travelers He made the comments during the airline's recent second-quarter earnings call Biffle said domestic flights are not profitable for airlines due to a lack of demand, compared to the supplyFrontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle has issued a bleak warning about the future of affordable airline travel. 'There's going to continue to be reductions in capacity in this industry,' Biffle said during the company's second-quarter earnings call on Aug. 5, per The Economic Times. Biffle added that airlines will likely be forced to cut the number of flights and routes they provide to travelers, as many domestic-focused ones are proving unprofitable, The Street reported. This would ultimately translate to fewer flight options and fewer budget fares for customers. 'I'm talking about domestic fares in the domestic marketplace,' Biffle said on the call. 'We believe that the entire industry is not making money [...] The domestic [side] is not making money. And that's because there is too much supply relative to demand.' While the budget airline made $929 million in profit in their second quarter of 2025, the airline had a net loss of $70 million, the company's public financial records show. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby made similar comments about the lack of profitability of current airline models during the company's second-quarter earnings call as well, per The Street. Kirby said, 'If I dig deeper into it and I look at every airline that's not named United or Delta, I can find at every single one of them, a double-digit percentage of their route network that loses money. And the only way for them to get margins that are anywhere close to their [wholesale acquisition cost] is to stop flying places that lose money. And that is going to ultimately happen.' The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! However, not all airline execs are in agreement over the pessimistic prognosis of the industry. American Airlines CEO Robert Isom addressed Kirby's comments during his company's second-quarter call, stating, per Forbes, 'We don't run our airline based on other airlines' perception of our business." And while Islom acknowledged the 'reluctance of domestic travelers' to get more involved in the more profitable international travel 'game,' he added, 'We think that's going to change." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. These discussions come at a time when the airline industry has been under much public scrutiny. Back in March, CNN reported that the 'fear of flying' had driven down ticket sales in recent months, after several high-profile plane crashes. 'We saw a pretty immediate stall in both corporate travel and bookings,' Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said at the time, per the outlet. 'Consumer confidence and certainty in air travel started to wane a little bit as questions of safety came in.' Several airlines have since implemented strategies to try to entice potential customers and stand out in the competitive market. Frontier Airlines previously announced that it would be offering a new option called "Economy Bundle" through Aug. 18, which includes a 'free carry-on bag, free seat selection, and free flight changes.'

Report – Inter Milan Wouldn't Consider Offers Below €35M For Ex AC Milan Star This Summer
Inter Milan reportedly wouldn't consider offers below €35 million for midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu this summer. This according to Turkish outlet Guerin Sportivo, via FCInterNews. Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu stayed at Inter Milan this summer. He did so in spite of a lot of transfer rumours, though. Galatasaray had reportedly been keen to sign the 31-year-old former AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder. However, the Gazzetta report that the Istanbul giants did not even make Inter an official offer. A deal for Calhanoglu would simply have been out of reach financially for Galatasaray. For one thing, the Turkish international was insisting on a wage increase from the €7.5 million net per season plus add-ons he earns at Inter. And he wanted at least a three-year deal. Then, convincing Inter with an offer would have been no mean feat. Inter Wouldn't Have Sold Hakan Calhanoglu For Less Than €35-40M MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 11: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and Feyenoord at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 11, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) According to Guerin Sportivo, Inter wouldn't have even considered offers below €35-40 million for Calhanoglu. The Turkish international remains an important player for Inter. Furthermore, the Nerazzurri would have to have signed a replacement. And that likely would have required an outlay of at least €50 million. For example, Inter were targeting Ederson as a replacement for Calhanoglu, Guerin Sportivo note. And Atalanta would have wanted around €70 million for the Brazilian.
