Toward the aft of the aircraft, the silver infinity rings, referred to as American’s centennial pattern, represent a subtle nod to the airline’s forward focus and infinite possibilities.
Travelers will also start seeing the airline’s centennial logo throughout various points in their travel journey, from the online booking process to airports and in flight.
This centennial logo will be featured across the airline’s digital channels, including aa.com, social media channels, inflight entertainment screens and merchandise, including airplane models of the centennial livery. In addition, the airline is placing a special decal of the logo to its fleet of more than 1,500 aircraft, celebrating American’s centennial with every flight.
In 1926, the story of one of the world’s most iconic airline brands started with a flight carrying mail from Chicago to St. Louis. And 100 years later, the story of that one flight unfolded into a global aviation leader: American Airlines. While there’s much to celebrate in 2026, customers will start to see and be a part of American’s celebrations for a milestone of 100 years of flight starting early January.
