The airline said Tuesday, April 12, 2022 that first-quarter revenue will be a tick better than Wall Street expected. That's an indication that demand for travel has been strong and fares are rising. However, revenue is still expected to be 16% below pre-pandemic levels in 2019. And costs are rising faster than American expected just a month ago. (AP Photo/ Michael Ainsworth, file)
