“We are not sugar-coating the magnitude of what we, along with every other airline, are up against today in this economic climate,â€￾ Gerard Arpey, American’s chief executive, said on Thursday.

Boeing noted that demand for new aircraft “remains strong,â€￾ as airlines seek to replace ageing fleets with more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aeroplanes. American also announced plans to take delivery of eight additional Boeing 737-800s. The carrier plans to receive 76 737s by the end of 2010.
