American Eagle is Leaving the Nest

November 29, 2007 | Posted in: Airline News,News

The parent of American Airlines, the AMR Corp. says it will sell or spin-off its regional carrier, American Eagle, sometime next year.

And, as it often the case with such pronouncements, AMR’s stock promptly rose.

So what is American Eagle worth?

Hard to say, at this point. American Eagle generates an annual revenue of more than $2-billion with its 1,700-flights a day throughout North America. Investors have been urging AMR to sell it, as a way to raise profits, but some analysts say rising fuel prices could effect American Eagle’s price tag…a price tag nobody’s revealing, just yet.
