American Airlines team members represented by the TWU-IAM Association have ratified a new, 27-month contract extension.
Voting on the extension opened on October 25, 2024, and closed on October 29,2024.
“The economic contract extension passed at 90%. This action affords our members’ securities and protections now rather than later, and the financial stability to address any unforeseen challenges that may lie ahead,” said the TWU-IAM Association.
The contract extension is set to bring economic improvements, including increases in pay rates, to its more than 35,000 technical operations, fleet service, cargo and central load planning team members.
“With this new agreement, our TWU-IAM Association-represented team members join their colleagues who have all approved new agreements that underscore American’s commitment to ensuring our team is paid well and competitively,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom.
He added: “I’d like to thank both the Association and company negotiating teams for seeing the important win this contract extension is for our team and for working to reach a deal — one that ensures our team is paid among the best in the industry - so quickly.”
