American Airlines Reveals Retro 'Flagship' Centennial Livery for 777-300ER

The vintage-inspired look signals a forthcoming 777-300ER cabin upgrade ahead of the April 2026 centennial.

Overview

  • The one-off aircraft is Boeing 777-300ER N735AT, which American will name “Flagship DFW” in a nod to its DC-3-era tradition.
  • American says the jet will begin flying in the special paint in November 2025.
  • The scheme revives the DC-3’s orange lightning bolt and an eagle roundel over the carrier’s Silver Eagle base finish.
  • Airline leaders tie the reveal to a 777-300ER refresh starting next year that will add Flagship Suite business class with privacy doors, wireless charging, and a chaise lounge, plus upgraded Premium Economy seating.
  • The livery serves as a centerpiece for American’s centennial observance planned for April 2026.
