| 'Treacherous' times for American Airlines 'Treacherous' times for American Airlines Quote:
AMR Corporation, the parent of American Airlines, has described conditions for its company as "treacherous", as a slow world economy, terrorist threats and the possibility of a war with Iraq threaten its business.
The group pledged to make savings of $4bn (£2.6bn) in a bid to survive the bleak conditions, but said its performance to date continued to be unacceptable.
The news came as AMR reported losses of $529m for the three months to December, and $3.5bn for the whole of 2002 - the largest yearly loss in aviation history.
