Due to a delay in 787 Dreamliner delivery, American Airlines Group (AAL.O) announced Friday it would stop its Philadelphia-Madrid service for a few weeks in May and early June.
America received a Boeing 787 this month and will receive three more this year.
The next Dreamliner has a contractual date of April 2021 and a revised date of March 2022.
“We engage with our customers, including American Airlines, on delivery schedule and regret the effect on their operations. We work collaboratively with suppliers to overcome industry difficulties to achieve customer commitments and maintain production system stability “Boeing emailed.
Boeing began 787 Dreamliner deliveries to Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) this week after a component data issue halted deliveries in late February.
American Airlines was rescheduling affected flights.
American Airlines stated it will “mitigate the impact of the 787 delivery delays while continuing to offer a comprehensive worldwide network this summer.”
Wall Street Journal broke the story.
