US was long the largest A320 family operator IIRC (or maybe just A321 operator). Getting AA mixed in with its growing A320 family fleet makes sense that it would be the largest. But very few wide body Airbus planes there, especially compared to Emirates and the A380 fleet it runs.
ETA: I did the query. For departures on Monday, December 7th here are top 10 ASMs on Airbus-operated flights by carrier:
Code:
EK 240803658
AA 212042792

TK 137915202
CA 135074253

And, just for grins, here are the numbers for Boeing:
