The no.1 U.S. airline will not fly to Edinburgh, Shannon in Ireland or Hong Kong next summer and will reduce the frequency of flights to Shanghai, Beijing and Sydney, the report said.

Deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner, which has faced manufacturing delays, are expected to resume by April 1 at the earliest, the report said citing sources.

Shares of the Texas-based carrier and Boeing were down about 1% each before the bell.

American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) and Boeing did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for a comment.
