- Bloomberg reports that American will consider replacing its fleet of 300 MD-80s in the near future. The MD-80, being an older plane, is much less fuel efficient than similar modern aircraft, such as the 737-800, which is 20% more fuel efficient and a top candidate for American’s replacement program. American already operates 77 of this model in its fleet of 672 jets. American cannot wait any longer to start replacing the planes.
