American Airlines will have a new CEO Thursday for the first time since the merger with US Airways in 2013, with Robert Isom taking over from Doug Parker...
Delays, cancellations and labor struggles continue to plague Fort Worth-based American Airlines even as demand is high for air travel.
New American Airlines CEO Robert Isom walking with retiring CEO Doug Parker in December. Isom has been president of American Airlines since 2016 and was named to replace Parker in December.Robert Isom’s plan as he takes over as chief executive at American Airlines is simple: “Run a reliable operation” and “return to profitability.”
That was the strategy he posted on a slide as he spoke to American Airlines employees at the company’s annual leadership conference in Dallas in February. The hope is that the first goal, landing planes on time and canceling fewer flights, will make the airline more profits through efficiency and from customers willing to pay a premium for tickets.
