American Airlines Group Inc. is making additional cuts to its international flight plans this summer because of ongoing delays in deliveries of Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliners, a setback for the carrier just as global travel is expected to begin recovering from a pandemic slump.
The airline will delay until November from June the start of a flight between Dallas-Fort Worth and Tel Aviv and suspend its Seattle-London service starting March 27, American said Friday via email. Flights between Los Angeles and Sydney, and Dallas-Fort Worth and Santiago will be suspended starting May 5.
