REUTERS: American Airlines Group Inc's top six executives on Tuesday bought 85,000 shares of the company's common stock on the open market for about US$2.4 million, at a time when the share price has significantly underperformed the U.S. transport sector.

Chief Executive Officer Doug Parker purchased 50,000 shares on the open market for US$1.4 million, while President Robert Isom bought 15,000 for US$416,250, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission."These share purchases are not part of our compensation package.

Chief Financial Officer Derek Kerr and three other executives bought 5,000 shares each for about US$138,800, the filings showed. American, which has been hurt by the worldwide grounding of Boeing Co's 737 MAX planes, has been among the worst performing stocks this year in the airline industry. The company's shares have fallen more than 9 percent so far in 2019, compared with an 8.8per cent rise in rival Delta Air Lines Inc's and 3.8per cent fall in United Continental Holding Inc's. The broader Dow Jones Transport Average index has risen about 10per cent during the same period.
