American Airlines is the world’s largest airline when measured by both daily flights and total passengers carried. It also operates one of the world’s largest commercial fleets, totaling just over 1,000 aircraft. Among the carrier’s most important widebodies is the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which has been part of its fleet since 2016. The airline first introduced the 787-9 on international routes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD) and São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), and since then, the aircraft has been deployed across the globe, supporting American Airlines’ extensive transatlantic and transpacific operations.
