Production problems with the 787 also prompted AA to drop to Edinburgh and Shannon. However, it will operate a new service from New York-JFK to Doha in Qatar. It also is renewing seasonal routes to popular European destinations such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Venice, Athens and Rome. “Adding Doha to our expansive global network and resuming a significant portion of our European routes provides our customers with more choices as they plan next year’s vacations,” said AA vice president of network planning, Brian Znotins.
