Panel Missing From Boeing Jet After United Flight Lands
A United Airlines flight was missing an external panel when it landed at its destination in Oregon—the latest in a series of mechanical problems for the carrier and jet manufacturer Boeing.
In a statement, United did not say how the panel vanished and whether it happened while the Boeing 737-800 was en route from San Francisco to Medford.
“We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service. We’ll also conduct an investigation to better understand how this damage occurred,” it said.
