American Airlines was started in 1930 via a union of more than eighty small airlines.
[12]
The two organizations from which American Airlines was originated were
Robertson Aircraft Corporation
and
Colonial Air Transport
. The former was first created in Missouri in 1921, with both being merged in 1929 into holding company
The Aviation Corporation
. This, in turn, was made in 1930 into an operating company and rebranded as American Airways. In 1934, when new laws and attrition of mail contracts forced many airlines to reorganize, the corporation redid its routes into a connected system and was renamed American Airlines. Between 1970 and 2000, the company grew into being an international carrier, purchasing
Trans World Airlines
in 2001.
