American Airlines’ 55 year old inflight magazine, American Way will retire at the end of June 2021.
American Airlines began filling its seatbacks with American Way — launched as The American Way — in 1966.
The magazine will retire at the end of June 2021.
While the last issue of American Way, published by global travel media company Ink, is on planes now, American has been focused on enhancing its inflight offerings to give customers the content they want most ,including:
*A library of up to 600 movies and TV shows
*A collection of more than 150 creative, productivity or language classes on American’s new Lifestyle inflight entertainment channel featuring Rosetta Stone and Skillshare content
*Customers may continue to view entertaining travel content created in partnership with Ink
*Wide range of kids’ content with new releases and classics, as well as options for our youngest travelers provided by BabyFirst and StoryBots
*Live music and concert performances from top venues such as Austin City Limits
*Meditation and relaxation exercises from Calm, a leader in content that helps users relax, sleep or become more mindful
Coming soon, American will introduce new inflight offerings to inspire the wanderlust and provide even more ways to connect with family and friends while flying at 35,000 feet.
Airline said ”In addition to providing customers with more of what they want, this change will also eliminate some paper waste and reduce weight on the aircraft. ”
