14 June 2000

    PHOENIX - America West Airlines announced a new FlightFund program today 
that allows qualifying members to earn frequent flyer miles just by requesting 
an automobile insurance quote from member companies of American International 
Group, Inc.  Members who respond to the no obligation mail offer will 
receive 250 FlightFund miles just by requesting a free quote.  In addition, AIG 
companies' special low rates for qualifying FlightFund members may save 
customers hundreds of dollars if they switch to AIG auto insurance.

    "This is an exciting opportunity for our FlightFund members," said Mike
Smith, senior vice president, marketing and sales.  "Receive great rates on
auto insurance and earn miles toward free travel worldwide."

    This new program is underwritten by member companies of America

insurance organizations.  AIG ranks seventeenth in this year's Fortune
500 list and holds the same rank on the Forbes 500 list, based on net profits.

travelers a unique and flexible program featuring First Class upgrades and
worldwide award travel.  New members will receive 2,500 miles after their
