American Airlines' Strategies Amid Boeing 787 Dreamliner Delays

Boeing's delivery delays of 787 Dreamliners have impacted American Airlines' flight planning. The airline has had to adjust some of its international routes due to the delays, including cutting certain routes that the long-haul airplanes serve.

American Airlines is also reconfiguring some of its older Boeing 777s to create a larger business class cabin. This strategy is aimed at catering to higher-paying travelers.

Despite the challenges posed by Boeing's delays, American Airlines remains confident in its ability to fly its planned routes.
