The second one is right. It is the name of the company. The pronoun for American Airlines would be "it."

The first sentence would be wrong no matter what. If you are talking about American airline companies, "airlines" would have a lower case "a."

The meaning of both sentences is vague. It would be better to say,

Does the company American Airlines fly to London? Or
Do Airlines from America fly to London?

I think the correct sentence is Do American Airlines fly to London? It is because your sentence in a plural form i.e Airlines.

If you are speaking about the company, American Airlines, then the second one is correct, because, as a company name, American Airlines, is singular. If you are speaking about airlines from America, the first one is correct, because in that case, "airlines" is plural.

One would be correct if talking about american airlines in general, but if you're talking about the company American Airlines, then number two is correct.

The correctness of both the sentences is depending on the situation. If the 'American Airlines' is representing the company name, second one is correct. If the 'American Airlines' (plural) represents the aircraft or aeroplane (plural in number), first one is correct.

Two is correct.

Does is used for singular items,
Does she fly to London?

Do is used for plural items,
Do they fly to London?

In this case American Airlines is one entity,
thus you need to use the singular of 'Does'.

Do United, Delta, and American Airlines fly to London?

Hope it helps!

Does. American Airlines is a proper noun.

American Airlines is the name of a singular company, ergo DOES is correct.
