American Airlines Group (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its first quarter financial results for the period ended March 31, 2020.

Total operating revenues declined 19.6% to $8.51 billion.

Never before has our airline, or our industry, faced such a significant challenge.

The company expects average cash burn rate for second quarter 2020 to be approximately $70 million per day.

While the length and severity of the reduction in demand due to COVID-19 is uncertain, we presently expect the deterioration to increase in the second quarter of 2020 and our results of operations for the remainder of 2020 to be severely impacted.
