More than 200 American Airlines team members at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Maintenance Hangar packed more than 12,000 hygiene kits for distribution by Feeding America^®. The hygiene kits, filled with personal care items and other necessities, will be distributed to communities in western North Carolina, ensuring those impacted by Hurricane Helene receive the support they need during this challenging time.

That’s not all American is doing…

• American Airlines AAdvantage^® members donated more than $2 million to support the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
• American is donating food items and blankets, and in partnership with Baby2Baby, is transporting nearly 5,000 lbs. of diapers, wipes, formula, body wash, blankets and baby food to be distributed to impacted areas.
• About a dozen CLT-based pilots also volunteered to fly their personal aircraft to deliver more than 30,000 lbs. of supplies to counties across western North Carolina.
• In partnership with CLT, team members organized a donation drive to fill a box truck with requested items such as non-perishable food items, toiletries, infant essentials, new clothing and cleaning supplies.
• AAdvantage^® members have donated more than $4.3 million to support the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts following the devastation caused by the hurricanes and tropical storms in 2024.
• American Airlines donated 10 million AAdvantage^® miles to Airlink, a nonprofit humanitarian organization that brings critical aid to communities in crisis. These miles help Airlink connect emergency responders and relief workers to the most urgent need.
