American Airlines receives single operating certificate on 08-Apr-2015

American Airlines Group received (08-Apr-2015) a single operating certificate for American and US Airways from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 08-Apr-2015. Most flight operations, maintenance and dispatch procedures will be identical for all services effective 08-Apr-2015, while air traffic control communications will refer to all American and US Airways flights with the call sign "American." The carrier's COO Robert Isom stated, "Achieving a single operating certificate is an important step toward becoming a fully integrated airline and the effort to reach today's milestone touched nearly every area of our company. While today marks a significant milestone for our integration, there is still much that remains ahead and we will intensify our focus on moving to a single reservations system and website and combining our frontline employee workgroups."
