Moody's rates American Airlines notes B2

Moody's Investors Service said it assigned a B2 rating to the planned offering by American Airlines, Inc. of $1 billion of first-lien senior secured notes due 2016 secured by certain of American's route authorities, airport landing and take-off slots and rights to use or occupy space in airport terminals.

The agency said it expects the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, mainly the refinancing of some of the $2.5 billion of 2011's debt maturities.

AMR Corp. will guarantee, on an unsecured basis, American's obligations under the indenture, the agency said.

The agency also said it revised American Airlines' senior secured regular bond/debenture to a loss-given-default range of LGD 2, 24% to LGD 2, 25% from a range of LGD 2, 23% to LGD 2, 24%, along with the rating on its senior secured regular bond/debenture to a range of LGD 2, 24% to LGD 2, 25% from a range of LGD 2, 23% to LGD 2, 24%.
