American Airlines donated $100,000 to Australia, as part of a relief fund, for the devastating bushfires that have burned more than 27 million acres and counting. The donation was made through the Australian diplomacy program G’Day USA and will benefit the Australia chapter of the Red Cross. G’Day USA brought awareness and raised funds to assist with the Australian bush fires this year.

The event is typically a celebratory dinner that honors the special relationship between Australia and the United States.

“We are all affected by the heartbreaking images of the wildfires in Australia,” said American Airlines President Robert Isom. “American is proud to do what we can to assist in the recovery.”

American Airlines also activated the airline’s disaster response fundraising platform, where customers and team members can assist those in need. From now through Jan. 31, AAdvantage® members can earn 10 miles for every dollar donated to the Red Cross with a minimum $25 donation.

“One of the best things Americans can do to support our friends in Australia is keep their travel plans and make new ones,” Isom said. “The Australian economy relies on its tourism business and nearly all the popular sites in Australia are unaffected by the fires.”
