Third-quarter and full-year outlook 1. CASM-ex is cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and net special items and is a non-GAAP measure. All adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance excludes the impact of net special items and are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time. 2. Consumption of ~1.13 to 1.15 billion gallons in Q3 2024 and ~4.40 to 4.43 billion gallons in 2024 , based on July 19, 2024 forward fuel curve. 3. The Company’s third-quarter 2024 diluted share count for purposes of computing adjusted earnings per diluted share excludes 61.7m shares attributed to the Company’s 6.5% convertible notes as they are expected to be antidilutive. Such shares are expected to be dilutive for the full-year 2024 adjusted earnings per diluted share calculation. Q3 2024 Total capacity (ASMs) (vs. Q3 2023) ~ +2% to +4% TRASM (vs. Q3 2023) ~ -2.5% to -4.5% CASM-ex1 (vs. Q3 2023) ~ +1% to +3% Fuel ($/gallon)2 ~ $2.55 to $2.75 Adjusted operating margin1 ~ 2% to 4% Adjusted earnings per diluted share1, 3 ~ Breakeven FY 2024 Total capacity (ASMs) (vs. 2023) ~ +5% to +6% TRASM (vs. 2023) ~ -3% to -5% CASM-ex1 (vs. 2023) ~ +1% to +3% Fuel ($/gallon)2 ~ $2.65 to $2.75 Adjusted operating margin1 ~ 3.5% to 5.5% Adjusted earnings per diluted share1, 3 ~ $0.70 to $1.30 11

GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures: - Operating Income (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Income (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Net Income (GAAP measure) to Net Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items allows management an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance. Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non- GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel and net special items allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance. 13

FOOTNOTES: (1) The 2024 six month period mainline operating special items, net principally included $57 million of one-time charges resulting from the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our mainline passenger service team members, including a one-time signing bonus. (2) Principally included charges associated with debt refinancings and extinguishments as well as mark-to-market net unrealized gains and losses associated with certain equity investments. (3) The 2024 three and six month period diluted earnings per share gives effect to, among other things, the Company's outstanding 6.5% senior convertible notes by (a) adding back to earnings $9 million and $22 million of interest expense, respectively, related to such convertible notes, net of estimated profit sharing and tax effects and (b) including in the diluted shares outstanding, 61.7 million shares issuable in respect to such convertible notes. The 2023 three and six month period diluted earnings per share gives effect to, among other things, the Company's outstanding 6.5% senior convertible notes by (a) adding back to earnings $12 million and $23 million of interest expense, respectively, related to such convertible notes, net of estimated profit sharing, short-term incentive and tax effects and (b) including in the diluted shares outstanding, 61.7 million shares issuable in respect to such convertible notes. 15

Free cash flow reconciliation The Company's free cash flow summary is presented in the table below, which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful information to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ability to generate cash from its core operating performance that is available for use to reinvest in the business or to reduce debt. The Company defines free cash flows as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for (1) net purchases of short-term investments and (2) change in restricted cash. We believe that calculating free cash flow as adjusted for these items is more useful for investors because short-term investment activity and restricted cash are not representative of activity core to our operations. This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of free cash flow is not intended, and should not be used, to measure the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because, among other things, it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and certain other non-discretionary expenditures. 6 Months Ended June 30, 2024 (in millions) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 3,308 Adjusted net cash used in investing activities (1) (1,091) Free cash flow $ 2,217 (1) The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (in millions): Net cash used in investing activities $ (1,892) Adjustments: Net purchases of short-term investments 833 Increase in restricted cash (32) Adjusted net cash used in investing activities $ (1,091) 16

Adjusted EBITDAR margin reconciliation The Company's adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDAR margin are presented below, which are non-GAAP measures that management uses to evaluate the Company's current operating performance. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as earnings excluding the impact of net special items before net interest and other nonoperating expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and aircraft rent. 3 Months Ended Adjusted EBITDAR June 30, 2024 (in millions) Operating income as reported $ 1,384 Adjustments: Aircraft rent (1) 316 Depreciation and amortization (1) 553 Adjusted EBITDAR $ 2,253 Calculation of Adjusted EBITDAR Margin Adjusted EBITDAR $ 2,253 Total operating revenues as reported $ 14,334 Adjusted EBITDAR Margin 15.7% (1) Includes amounts associated with regional operations that are reflected in regional expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 17
