The big US carrier said its first profitable quarter since the start of the pandemic was due to operations rather than government support programs. "Making sure American could take advantage of the continued recovery has been our collective focus, and the second quarter is evidence that our actions are producing positive results," Isom said. "There is no better validation of this than reporting our first quarterly profit since the start of the pandemic."
