EASY 10 POINTS PLEASE AWNSERWHEN AMERICAN BOUGHT OUT TWA HOW COME THEY CANCLED THW TWA AIRBUS ORDERES

Answer 1

This is because as part of the deal, American Airlines had to pay TWA $500Million and take on $2Billion in TWA liabilities. If you also factor in that later that year (9/11), the Twin Towers came down and the airline industry saw revenues plummet, it was certainly a lucky/good/wise move...

Answer 2

American does not operate any A320 family aircraft that TWA had on order (A318).  It was incompatible with the American fleet.

Answer 3

American didn't buy TWA...they bought airplanes and related assets.

TWA just surrendered their certificate and went out of business.

Besides which, AA had just made a major commitment to Boeing products, and had learned during the Bob Crandall expansion years just how expensive fleet diversity really is.

Answer 4

American did not want the Airbus airplanes that TWA had on order.
