AMERICAN AIRLINES - December 18, 2003

Vail, Colorado, may be best known for outstanding winter skiing, but summer travelers can experience the beauty (and cool temperatures) of Vail with nonstop service to Vail/Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) starting next June on American Airlines.

From June 17 through Sept. 12, 2004, American Airlines will offer a daily nonstop flight between Dallas/Fort Worth and Eagle County Regional Airport in Vail.

"American has been flying to Vail in the winter for years, and we're happy to bring the beauty and fun of Vail Valley to our customers during the summer, too," said American spokesman Tim Kincaid. "The best part: customers can get to Vail from just about anywhere in the world, thanks to American's huge global network."

"This will be the second summer season that American Airlines has served Vail and Eagle County." Said Kent Myers of Airplanners. "Last summer was very successful for the community and the airport. We forward to expanding our relationship with American Airlines in the future. They are a great partner."

DFW-Vail summer service will be flown on American's Boeing 757 aircraft, featuring 22 First Class and 154 Coach Class seats. Flights operate as follows:

· DFW-EGE Departs 3:45 p.m. (CDT) Arrives 4:54 p.m. (MDT)
· EGE-DFW Departs 7:58 a.m. (MDT) Arrives 11:11 a.m. (CDT)
