In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact, American Airlines is stepping up to support the recovery efforts. The airline has pledged a generous donation of 10 million AAdvantage miles to Airlink, a renowned humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting communities grappling with crises. This significant contribution will play a crucial role in facilitating the transportation of emergency responders and relief teams to the areas most severely affected by the hurricane.
American Airlines is further demonstrating its commitment to aid those affected by Hurricane Helene through a collaborative partnership with the American Red Cross. Individuals wishing to contribute to the relief efforts can do so through a designated website at redcross.org/aa. In appreciation for their support, donors utilizing this platform will receive AAdvantage bonus miles, providing a rewarding incentive for their generosity.
“We are proud to join forces with Airlink and the Red Cross to deliver critical aid to those affected by Hurricane Helene,” stated Ron DeFeo, American’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. “At American Airlines, it is our purpose to care for people on life’s journey, and we are committed to helping communities in times of need.”
American Airlines’ dedication to humanitarian causes is evident in its previous support. Earlier this year, the American Red Cross recognized American Airlines as a Mission Leader, acknowledging the airline’s substantial contributions exceeding $3 million annually towards alleviating hardship during emergencies. Since 2014, American has also actively participated in the Annual Disaster Giving Program, a proactive initiative that encourages donors to provide support before disasters strike.
