FORT WORTH, Texas — In response to the catastrophic flooding that has devastated communities across central Texas, American Airlines is joining forces with its disaster response partners — the American Red Cross, Airlink and Team Rubicon — to aid relief efforts and support families affected by this heartbreaking disaster.
The flooding in Texas is just one of more than 65,000 disasters the Red Cross responds to each year across the United States. American stands with the Red Cross as they mobilize to offer safe shelter, warm meals and emotional support to those impacted.
How you can help
While American’s partners are on the ground providing aid in Texas, American team members will assemble more than 2,000 care packages for first responders, National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard deployed across the flood zone. Customers can also take action now to support disaster relief efforts and other weather events by donating to the Red Cross. Through July 18, AAdvantage® members who donate a minimum of $25 to the Red Cross will receive 10 AAdvantage® miles for every dollar donated.
