The company reported 2.455 billion revenue passenger miles last month, up 0.6 percent compared to April 2015.

The carrier also saw a 0.1 percent increase in available seat miles in the region, with a 0.4-percentage-point lift in load factor, to 76 percent in April.

Overall, the company saw a 3.6 percent increase in RPM for international flights in April.

American has been facing increased competition in the Caribbean from carriers like JetBlue and Southwest Airlines.
