American Airlines is facing challenges due to delays in the delivery of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline has had to reduce the frequency of some long-haul flights and adjust its international route network for spring 2025. This comes shortly after British Airways announced similar changes due to engine delivery issues with their Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
According to a report by The Points Guy, American Airlines will temporarily suspend service between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG) in May 2025. Additionally, the resumption of the Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Paris (CDG) route will be delayed. The airline also plans to decrease daily flights between Miami (MIA) and Buenos Aires Airport (EZE) from three to two frequencies in April 2025.
American Airlines has been operating Boeing 787s since January 23, 2015, when it first flew the Dreamliner between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). The current fleet includes 37 Boeing 787-8s and 22 Boeing 787-9s, with an average age of 6.6 years according to ch-aviation data. The airline is awaiting delivery of an additional 30 Boeing 787-9s.
