1 Certain special facility revenue bonds issued by municipalities - which are supported by
operating leases executed by American - are guaranteed by AMR and/or American.
The special facility revenue bonds with mandatory tender provisions discussed above
are included in this table under their ultimate maturity date rather than their mandatory
tender provision date. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
2 As of December 31, 2006, the Company had commitments to acquire an aggregate of
47 Boeing 737-800s and seven Boeing 777-200ERs in 2013 through 2016.
3 The table reflects minimum required payments under capacity purchase contracts
between American and two regional airlines, Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. (Chautauqua)
and Trans States Airlines Inc. If the Company terminates its contract with Chautauqua
without cause, Chautauqua has the right to put its 15 Embraer aircraft to the Company.
If this were to happen, the Company would take possession of the aircraft and become
liable for lease obligations totaling approximately $21 million per year with lease
expirations in 2018 and 2019. These lease obligations are not included in the table
above. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
4 Amounts represent contractual amounts due, including interest. Interest on variable
rate debt was estimated based on the current rate at December 31, 2006.
