India, July 23 -- American Airlines Group (AAL) on Thursday reported sharply lower second-quarter earnings as a surge in fuel costs outweighed strong revenue growth. The company also cuts its full-year earnings outlook.

Net income decreased to $71 million or $0.11 per share from $599 million or $0.91 per share in the second quarter of 2025.

Excluding one-time items, earnings were $99 million or $0.15 per share.

Operating income declined 60.7% to $446 million from $1.135 billion in the prior-year quarter.

Operating expenses climbed 22.9% to $16.289 billion from $13.257 billion, primarily reflecting an 83.3% jump in aircraft fuel and related tax costs to $4.881 billion.
