DALLAS — Following a final week of bargaining, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants and American Airlines reached a tentative contract agreement on Friday.

According to the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, the agreement resolves the union’s concerns regarding compensation, retroactive pay and work rules.

“We are pleased to have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with the Association of Professional Flight Attendants,” said American Airlines in a statement. “It’s a contract that will provide immediate financial and quality-of-life improvements for American’s flight attendants. It’s a contract we’re proud of and one our flight attendants have earned.”

On July 24, the APFA will hold a briefing of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee to evaluate the Tentative Agreement.

President Joe Biden released a statement praising the agreement by saying, “I congratulate the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, their 25,000 members, and American Airlines for reaching a tentative agreement. And I thank Acting Secretary Su, Secretary Buttigieg and other members of my Administration for their efforts to help both sides secure this agreement, which averts a strike that would have been devastating for the industry and consumers.”
