About American Airlines Federal Credit Union

American Airlines Federal Credit Union was founded in 1936 by a small group of American Airlines employees who shared the goal of creating a member-owned, cooperative financial institution where employees could help one another.

The Credit Union focuses on serving employees and retirees of the air transportation industry and their family members.
