Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are foundational to the American Airlines culture and are embedded into the fabric of who we are as a company. We are the global leader in commercial aviation, and therefore must carry the banner around the world for DEI. We will lead the industry in DEI by:

  • Hiring, engaging and retaining the best and brightest talent for growth
  • Delivering excellence in our operations to serve and expand our global markets
  • Ensuring the diversity of our team reflects the diversity of our global customer base
  • Driving industry innovation to build competitive advantages

Creating a workplace for all

EBRG icon

From the team members we hire to the customers we serve, diversity, equity and inclusion is a way of life at American Airlines. Every day, our team members work to make American a place where people of all generations, races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, gender identity, disabilities, religious affiliations and backgrounds feel welcome and valued.

Our Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs) connect team members to customers, communities and global mission to have a positive impact. Learn more about EBRGs from the DEI Fact Sheet and about our team members from the environmental, social and governance (ESG) report.
