American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) will retire its fleet of twenty E190s in 2020, Managing Director of Fleet Planning and Analysis, Ryan Travis, has said.
According to an internal company letter seen by Airways Magazine, the Embraer Regional Jets will likely be placed with another carrier. The aircraft currently average almost 11 years of age and are all owned and operated by the carrier itself.
In the same letter, Travis also stated that American's remaining fleet of McDonnell Douglas twinjets - now down to two MD-82s and thirty-two MD-83s - “are due to retire next year” i.e. 2019. These aircraft could potentially be replaced with second-hand A319-100s.
