AmericanAirlines is the world's largest operator of the 737. Their current active fleet is over 450 aircraft. In terms of total 737 production (all models in history), deliveries of new aircraft from Boeing to AmericanAirlines accounts for approximately 9% of total production.
AmericanAirlines's original primary livery was beige and red, with orange on the tail end, and pinstripes of white separating each section of color. The word 'AmericanAirlines' appears in white on the beige portion of the tail. (Although, on the original three 737-200s, from June of 1971, the word 'AmericanAirlines' was placed along the upper rear portion of the fuselage, with the word 'Airlines' painted on the tail where 'AmericanAirlines' is today. Example: N21SW
All of the 737-700 series aircraft, have been fitted with winglets have "AmericanAirlines.com" written on the outer faces of the winglets. 737s with the original livery or any of the special liveries do not have this writing at this time.
Additionally, AmericanAirlines will install Blended Winglets on up to 90 of its 737-300 aircraft beginning in early 2007.
Some AmericanAirlines planes feature special themes, rather than the normal livery. These theme planes have been given special names, usually ending in "One". Some of the most well-known examples are:
All special planes prior to Spirit One originally wore the standard beige, red and orange livery colors on the vertical stabilizer and rudder. Subsequent special editions -- Maryland One and Slam Dunk One, so far -- feature tails with the canyon blue color scheme, and all earlier specials, with the exception of Triple Crown One and Nevada One have been repainted to match.
