On December 16, 2013, Doug Parker, CEO of [[American Airlines Group]], announced that TWA heritage aircraft would be added in the future, "We will continue that tradition at American, including introducing a TWA aircraft in the future and keeping a [[US Airways]] livery aircraft. That also means we will keep a heritage American livery in the fleet". On November 16, 2015, American painted a 737-823 in the TWA livery (with American titles, as shown to the right).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/-KbM_Tox5C/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/-KbM_Tox5C |archive-date=2021-12-26 |url-access=registration|website=Instagram |title=Our heritage livery for #TWA is now up, up and away! #OurHeritage #avgeek #retro #throwback #AmericanAirlines #InstaPlane #InstaAviation #✈️ |date=2015-11-16 |author=American Airlines (@americanair) }}{{cbignore}}</ref> The last of the TWA MD-83s stayed in service until September 2019. This was the last Trans World Airlines, Inc. aircraft in the American Airlines fleet.

An original lighted TWA sign still exists (as of 2019) on the east side of Saarinen's [[TWA Flight Center]] terminal facing JetBlue's Terminal 5. This sign has been incorporated by the TWA Hotel as part of their use of the TWA Flight Center building.

On May 15, 2019, the [[TWA Hotel]] opened in the Flight Center's headhouse, after four years of restoration work that began in 2015. In addition to replacing and repairing much of the infrastructure of the building, additional buildings were constructed to house the hotel rooms, with the Flight Center's interior being used for the lobby, restaurants and exhibition facilities. In addition, a vintage [[Lockheed Constellation]] [[L-1649 Starliner]] was acquired and fully restored for use as the hotel's cocktail bar, being placed on a section of apron in front of the hotel.
