    American Pauses Climate Trial as Fuel Prices Spike, Hopes to Resume in Fall

    American Airlines paused its contrail-avoidance trial due to spring fuel price spikes, avoiding conflicting instructions to pilots and dispatchers.

    SAP Concur Explains Accessing American Airlines NDC Fares via Select Access

    SAP Concur published a blog explaining how customers can access American Airlines NDC content via Concur Select Access or TripLink after the airline removes certain fares from traditional GDS channels.
