Item 2.05  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
 

 
On May 21, 2008, AMR Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing capacity reductions and related matters as described in the press release. The Company made its determination to implement these capacity reductions in light of unprecedented high fuel costs and the other challenges facing the industry.

The Company is not able at this time to estimate the amount and timing of these charges.
