British Airways trims US flights - but it has nothing to do with the election

British Airways has cut two more daily US flights - but it has nothing to do with a reduction in bookings after the election of Donald Trump.

The cutbacks are due to a projected lack of aircraft due to maintenance issues, new portal Travel Mole reports.

BA is temporarily scrapping daily flights to Dallas/Fort Worth for the next northern summer with the flight suspension from March to October 2025.

Additionally, the airline will remove the second daily flight from London to Miami, which was only recently announced as a year-round service.

The airline has already cut New York flights from London Gatwick due to issues over the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce.

“We’ve taken this action because we do not believe the issue will be solved quickly, and we want to offer our customers the certainty they deserve,” the airline said in a statement.

“We’ve apologised to those affected and are able to offer the vast majority a flight the same day with British Airways or one of our partner airlines.”

BA’s transatlantic partner American Airlines will help pick up the slack for Dallas and Miami.

American said it is resuming its second-daily flight to London Heathrow from South Florida.
