According to the Complaint, American Airlines Group Inc., through wholly-owned subsidiaries and third-party regional carriers under the American Eagle banner, operates as a network air carrier, providing scheduled air transportation passenger and cargo services throughout the US and in various other countries around the world.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants made overwhelmingly positive statements to investors regarding American’s new sales and distribution strategy to reduce internal expenses while simultaneously driving a significant demand increase for the Company’s airline services. The Complaint further alleges that these statements misrepresented the true state of American, and that the Company was simultaneously concealing material adverse facts including, notably, that the Company’s sales and distribution strategy was not driving the revenue projected.
