American Airlines has applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the right to fly new United States-Brazil services beginning this year and in 2014.

If the DOT approves the application, American Airlines would use the authorizations to add a new daily round-trip service from each of its Los Angeles and Chicago hubs to São Paulo, expanding the airline’s Latin American network.


On January 17, 2013, American Airlines unveiled a new logo and livery for itself and sister carrier American Eagle. The change came more than four decades after American's last livery change, which produced the iconic 'silver bird' look and red-and-blue 'AA' tail logo which also featured a stylized eagle. That logo represented the evolution of American's logo dating all the way back to the 1930s
