National media reported BA has been forced to ground six aircraft – 15% of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet – because of issues finding parts for their Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
BA has delayed the launch of its new Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur route from November 2024 to April 2025 and suspended one flight a day between Gatwick and New York and between Heathrow and Doha.
Impacted passengers will be rebooked on flights departing the same day, albeit from a different airport, the carrier said.
