31 regional jets in 1999 and continue turboprop retirement.
In addition to a top-notch fleet, providing the industry’s best service means
having a network that best matches the demands of our airline customers.
Despite the overall strength of American and American Eagle’s domestic
networks, they have been weaker in the West Coast and upper Northeast mar-
kets. To rectify this, American announced in November its decision to purchase
Reno Air, the West Coast carrier with which it has had a marketing relationship since 1993. Reno’s integration
into American Airlines will strengthen the network on the West Coast and provide connecting traffic to our
east-west and transcontinental flights. In December, American Eagle announced it would purchase Business
Express to extend our reach into a number of new markets in the northeastern United States.
