British Airways has been forced to cancel hundreds of long-haul flights over the next few months, blaming what it says are engine issues.
BA says it has been forced to ground several aircraft, news portal Travel Mole reports.
The airline will cut daily flights from London Gatwick to New York JFK over the northern hemisphere winter.
BA blames delays on receiving spare parts and replacement Trent 1000 engines that power its Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
The airline operates a fleet of 40 787s.

Five of its 787s are to be grounded and it says some Boeing 777 planes also need routine maintenance.
“We’ve taken this action because we do not believe the issue will be solved quickly," the airline said in a statement. "We want to offer our customers the certainty they deserve.”
BA will cut one flight a day from London Heathrow to Doha and postpone the re-start of Kuala Lumpur flights, which were scheduled to resume next month.
