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.
