description: >-
  American Airlines' Runway platform is internal developer infrastructure rather than a public commercial API. Travel-distribution integrations are intermediated through GDS partners (Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport) and corporate / NDC channels under bilateral agreements with no public price list. Reconcile if a public API tier is launched.
notes: >-
  American Airlines' Runway platform (built on Spotify Backstage) is American Airlines' internal developer experience for engineering teams - not a publicly consumable, priced API. External flight data, booking, and status integrations are delivered through GDS partners (Sabre, Amadeus) and corporate / NDC channels under bilateral agreements. No public price list or rate-limit documentation is published. Reconcile if a public API tier emerges.
