As American Airlines marks its centennial year, the airline today unveiled a special America250 commemorative aircraft, celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and honoring the nation’s enduring spirit of innovation, resilience and connection. The aircraft will service American’s inaugural flight from Miami to Caracas, Venezuela, on April 30.

The aircraft was revealed during a special event at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), attended by American Airlines CEO Robert Isom, Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, America250 Executive Vice President Jen Condon, and American Airlines leadership and frontline team members who power the airline’s operations every day. Together, they marked a milestone moment that celebrates two historic anniversaries — 250 years of American independence and 100 years of American Airlines connecting the nation and the world.

The America250 aircraft reflects American’s role as an official partner of America250, the national nonpartisan organization charged by Congress with leading the nation’s Semiquincentennial commemoration. In addition to servicing the inaugural flight to Venezuela, the aircraft will fly across American’s global network, serving as a traveling tribute to the nation’s past, present and future — and to the communities American has proudly served for 100 years.

American will also serve as the Official Airline of America Innovates, a traveling showcase of the nation’s ingenuity that will highlight the creativity, progress and pioneering spirit that have defined the United States for 250 years. Additional details about American’s centennial activities and its partnership with America250 will be shared in the months ahead.
