British Airways has announced it will cancel its second daily flight from London to Miami beginning next year, citing an ongoing shortage of replacement parts for the Rolls-Royce engines powering its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. The parts shortage has left the airline unable to service its full schedule, affecting the transatlantic route.
While flights to Orlando remain unaffected, the impact of the supply chain disruptions has led to significant adjustments in British Airways’ operations. The airline has been grappling with delays in receiving essential replacement parts from Rolls-Royce, which has struggled to meet demand for components critical to the Dreamliner engines.
In response to the cut, American Airlines will step in to operate the second daily London-to-Miami flight, aiming to maintain service levels and meet passenger demand. British Airways has expressed regret over the change and emphasized that the decision was necessary to ensure continued reliability for its other long-haul routes.
The ongoing issues underscore challenges in the aviation industry as airlines and manufacturers navigate supply constraints and increasing operational demands. Passengers affected by the schedule change are encouraged to check British Airways and American Airlines for updated travel arrangements.
