    AMERICAN Airlines Group Inc will "compete aggressively" against discount carriers that are piling on added seats and then cutting fares to keep planes full, chief executive officer Doug Parker said.

    "We're not going to lose customers on price," Mr Parker said on Tuesday in an interview at Bloomberg's New York headquarters. "We're not going to give anyone else an advantage and allow them to expand at a rate that takes away customers and is not good for our shareholders."
