In many ways, the Boeing 737-800 is the workhorse of American’s short-haul fleet. This dynamic aircraft was among the most efficient aircraft to hit the market in the late 1990s, and the plane has remained in service with 
American Airlines up until the present day. For flights that involve nonstop services between middle-market destinations and American’s major hubs, there is almost no aircraft better suited to handle the capacity and operational requirements of these routes.
