FORT WORTH, Texas — For 22 years, American Airlines has partnered with the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) to help uplift Black filmmaker stories and connect customers to diverse representation throughout their travel journey.
The ABFF recognizes Black talent and showcases quality film and television content by and about people of color in the entertainment industry. American recently launched the American Black Film Festival channel as part of the airline’s free inflight entertainment offering.

By working with organizations like the ABFF, American can connect and engage with the Black community in a more meaningful way.
Access entertainment: American offers endless entertainment options that customers can stream right to their own device at no cost. Simply enable airplane mode and connect to the AA-Inflight signal. Once connected, customers will be redirected to aainflight.com, the inflight portal.
