American Airlines Inc. lowered its first-quarter 2025 guidance on Tuesday, citing weaker-than-expected revenue due to the impact of Flight 5342 collision and softer domestic leisure demand, particularly in March. In a filing with the US Securities Exchange Commission before the J.P. Morgan Industrials Conference, the company said it now expects total revenue to be roughly flat compared to the same period in 2024, down from a previous forecast of 3% to 5% growth.
The airline also widened its projected adjusted loss per diluted share to approximately $0.60 to $0.80, from a prior loss estimate of $0.20 to $0.40.
The revision comes as other airlines adjust their outlooks. Delta Air Lines slashed its first-quarter estimates on Monday, citing reduced consumer and corporate confidence due to macroeconomic uncertainty. Southwest Airlines also lowered its revenue growth forecast to a maximum of 4%, down from a previous estimate of up to 7%.
