American Airlines, the world's largest airline, says it can boost revenue by $94 million a year by tailoring some of its services to the growing number of women travellers. The airline, a unit of AMR Corp, this week unveiled a version of its Web site for women (http://www.aa.com/women).
The site aims to increase the number of women booking flights on American by 2 percent or more, said an AMR executive on Tuesday. The site, as well as changes to American's planes and travel clubs, is the latest effort by a US airline to distinguish itself in a competitive industry that has spent the last five years slashing costs and tweaking services. "We obviously have a vast interest in women," said Peggy Sterling, AMR vice president of safety, security and environmental. "There is an untapped resource."
