American Airlines' Boeing 787 Dreamliner | Official Website

One of American Airlines' Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, registered as N819AN, has faced a series of operational challenges since the beginning of 2025. The plane is currently grounded in Dallas and has not flown for five days.

The first incident occurred in January when the aircraft, flying from Amsterdam Schiphol to Philadelphia, had to return to Amsterdam due to an issue with its flaps. This was followed by another setback involving a hydraulic leak that prevented its scheduled departure the next day. The aircraft eventually returned to the US on January 10th.

After arriving in Philadelphia, N819AN was scheduled for a flight to Dublin but had to divert back shortly after takeoff. "At this point, it was taken out of service for several days," according to One Mile At A Time.

The aircraft resumed service on January 13th with a flight to Barcelona. However, its return trip was canceled before departure. After leaving Barcelona on January 19th, it again diverted back and spent four more days grounded in Spain before returning to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on January 23rd.

Upon returning to Dallas, the plane remained grounded for a week before resuming flights on January 30th. It completed trips between Philadelphia and Madrid without issues but experienced another diversion during a return flight from Zürich on February 1st.

In total, N819AN experienced four diversions within 25 days and spent significant time grounded due to maintenance issues. Following its return from Zürich on February 5th, another diversion occurred during a flight intended for Tulsa.

Since then, the aircraft has only operated domestic flights within the US: from Dallas to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Phoenix, and Phoenix back to Dallas. Simple Flying has reached out to American Airlines for further details regarding these incidents.
