American Airlines Group Inc., formed in the 2013 merger with US Airways Group, is moving a step closer to completing the tie-up by combining the carriers’ frequent-flier plans on March 28.

Members of US Airways’ Dividend Miles loyalty program will be folded into American’s AAdvantage, swelling its ranks to about 100 million and making it the biggest in the industry. Fort Worth, Texas-based American is outlining the changes Tuesday in a message to travelers.
