As the Official Airline of the Rams, American’s logo will appear
in the stadium for home games and in other related media including
TV, radio and print. American’s customers and employees will also
have the opportunity to take part in Rams-branded activities and
events during the season, including a Day of Service in support of
a community project.
“American is one of the largest employers in Los
Angeles and our more than 6,000 employees based at LAX are proud to
welcome the Rams back home,” said Fernand Fernandez, American’s
vice president – Global Marketing. “Our partnership with Los
Angeles’ returning football team highlights our commitment to the
community.”
“We are pleased to add American Airlines to our
roster of partners kicking off this historic season back home in
Los Angeles,” said Rams’ Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff.
“American Airlines has a big presence in this community. We look
forward to teaming up with them to bring Angelenos closer to Rams’
football.”
American now operates more than 220 flights to
70 global destinations from LAX with flights to Tokyo Haneda
Airport (HND), Auckland, New Zealand (AKL) and Sydney, Australia
(SYD) introduced in the last year. New service to Hong Kong (HKG)
starts Sept. 7. The airline has added more than 400 new employees
at LAX this year to support its growth at the hub.
American is investing more than $3 billion in the customer
experience – including fully lie-flat seats, international Wi-Fi
and a redesign of its Admirals Club and exclusive Flagship Lounge
location at LAX. In 2017, American will introduce Flagship Dining,
a pre-flight meal with full tableside service at LAX. First
Class customers on American’s three-class international and
transcontinental flights will have exclusive access to Flagship
Dining. These enhancements are in addition to American’s record
fleet renewal, which is delivering, on average, a new aircraft
every week.
