CASE ALLEGATIONS: American Airlines operates as a network air carrier, which provides scheduled air transportation services for passengers and cargo through its hubs.
The American Airlines class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the new distribution capability sales strategies that American Airlines adopted were not sustainable because they alienated travel agencies and the corporate customers who were among the airlines’ highest spending customers, drove away lucrative corporate customers, and ultimately diminished American Airlines’ revenues; and (ii) as a result, American Airlines’ business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as indicated in its Class Period statements.
On May 28, 2024, American Airlines reported that it was parting ways with its Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, defendant Vasu S. Raja, the executive behind American Airlines’ efforts to revamp American Airlines’ sales approaches in order to increase profitability to address the massive debt American Airlines had taken on during the Covid-19 pandemic. American Airlines also reported its first quarter 2024 financial results, disclosing that it had swung to a huge loss, despite having achieved record-breaking revenues, and further revealed that American Airlines was slashing its second quarter 2024 financial guidance, stating that it only expected adjusted earnings of $1.00 to $1.15 per share, down from its previous range of $1.15 to $1.45 per share. American Airlines also announced that its second quarter 2024 operating margin would come in approximately 1 percentage point lower than it had previously promised, as revenue per available seat mile was then tracking well below American Airlines’ previous outlook. On this news, the price of American Airlines common stock fell more than 13%, damaging investors.
