American Airlines has made this announcement:

On September 4, 2019 American Airlines will retire its last 26 McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft. The MD-80, also known as the Super 80 (DC-9-82 and DC-9-83), was the workhorse of the airlineโs fleet throughout the 1980s and beyond, providing customers and team members with heartfelt memories on adventures ranging from family vacations to key business trips. Itโs a bittersweet but well-earned retirement as American celebrates the aircraftโs history while modernizing itsย fleet.
