United Airlines has delayed the launch of the majority of its planned international flights with the Boeing 787 as it works with the airframer to improve aircraft reliability. The Chicago-based Star Alliance carrier will begin flights between Los Angeles and Tokyo Narita on 3 January as planned but has delayed the launch of flights between Houston Intercontinental and Lagos, London Heathrow and Amsterdam, according to an employee newsletter. Service to Lagos will begin in "late January" instead of 3 January, and London on 1 March instead of 4 February. Amsterdam flights, originally scheduled for 4 December 2012, have been put back to 24 February.
