As American Airlines celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026, the company is marking the milestone with a new series of centennial‑themed inflight dining offerings.

The menus debut in March for international and transcontinental Flagship First and Flagship Business, followed by an April launch in domestic First Class.

Inspired by the flavours and culinary trends of the 1920s – the decade American first took flight – the dishes bring a modern interpretation of the era to today’s premium travel experience.

“Our centennial year is a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come while continuing to elevate the experience for our customers,” said American’s SVP of Customer Experience Design and Strategy, Rhonda Crawford.

“These menus celebrate the flavours that defined the early days of American Airlines in a way that feels special and memorable for today’s travellers.”

These centennial‑inspired menus are part of a broader celebration recognizing 100 years of connecting people, places and cultures around the world.

They join a series of initiatives already underway, including the debut of a special centennial livery, the rollout of American’s new centennial logo across digital channels and aircraft, and the launch of a dedicated centennial site where customers can explore the airline’s history and shop commemorative merchandise.

Throughout 2026, customers will continue to see additional centennial touches – from limited‑edition amenity kits and pyjamas to other celebratory moments – with more initiatives to be announced throughout the year.
