American Airlines Cuts Some International Flights From Major U.S. Airports In 2025

American Airlines has cut some international flights from major US airports next year and delayed others, blaming Boeing for the hold up.

A number of new long-haul routes can’t go ahead yet because Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner jets are delayed, The Points Guy first reported.

“As a result of ongoing Boeing 787 delivery delays, American is adjusting service on certain routes in spring 2025 to ensure we are able to re-accommodate customers on affected flights,” the airline said in a statement.

“We’ll be proactively reaching out to our impacted customers to offer alternate travel arrangements and remain committed to mitigating the impact of these Boeing delays while continuing to offer a comprehensive global network.”

American Airlines is awaiting delivery of 25 of the 787 Dreamline jets, according to Boeing orders and delivery figures.

American Airlines services between Miami International Airport and Ministro Pistarini International Airport, near Buenos Aires, are being cut from three daily to two.

Flights from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Paris Charles De Gaulle have been on hold since September and won’t be restarting until May. They were scheduled to resume in April.

At Miami, flights to the Parisian airport will be temporarily suspended in May.

The airline stressed that routes to the destinations would not be canceled due to Boeing delays, but the flights would be starting later than planned.
