American Airlines loyalty members donate for Hurricane Helen recovery
American Airlines AAdvantage members have donated more than $2 million to assist aid supply in communities hit hard by Hurricane Helene.
The airline is urging continued support for the region via further donations.
Through October 18, 2024, AAdvantage members can earn 10 AAdvantage bonus miles for every dollar donated to the Red Cross with a minimum $25 donation.
Members can support relief efforts at www.redcross.org/aa
American has also partnered with Airlink, a nonprofit organization that brings critical aid to communities in crisis.
It is donating 10 million AAdvantage miles to help Airlink connect emergency responders and relief workers to the most urgent needs.
“We are proud to join forces with Airlink and the Red Cross to deliver critical aid,” said Ron DeFeo, American’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer.
“We are committed to helping communities in times of need.”
Earlier this year, American was named a Mission Leader by the American Red Cross, joining a small group of the most generous donors giving more than $3 million annually.
Additionally, American has for a decade been a member of the Annual Disaster Giving Program — a group of donors who provide support in advance of disasters.
