(Reuters) - American Airlines Group Inc AAL.O reported a third straight quarterly loss on Thursday, hurt by a slump in travel globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company said its third-quarter cash burn rate was about $44 million per day, compared with about $58 million a day in the second quarter.

On an adjusted basis, the company lost $5.54 per share. Total operating revenue fell to $3.17 billion from $11.91 billion. American Airlines ended the third quarter with $13.6 billion in available liquidity.
