Net profit of the American AMR Corp., the parent company of the largest air carrier in USA American Airlines, in 2nd quarter of 2006 has grown in 5 times and has reached 291 million dollars against 58 million dollars year earlier. Such data are presented in the report of the company published today.

Successful activities, according to representatives AMR, are caused by a significant sales volume and the high prices for tickets which have helped the company to overcome negative consequences of a rise in prices on fuel. The company finishes in plus works the second quarter successively. Prior to the beginning of 2006 AMR 22 quarters reported about losses.
Such great results!!! Let’s keep that up! :):)
