On a Friday morning, a United Airlines flight departed from San Francisco International Airport with 139 passengers on board. The flight was headed to Mogue Valley International/Medford Airport in Oregon, but it did not go as smoothly as planned. As the plane approached its destination, it was discovered that an external panel was missing from the aircraft.
Upon landing at around 10:20am, the missing part was noticed by United Airlines. It was a wing to body fairing located underneath the aircraft where the wing and body meet. This incident marks the latest in a series of safety concerns surrounding Boeing planes. The affected aircraft was a Boeing 737-800, but it was not a MAX aircraft.
Despite the missing panel, the pilots were unaware of any issues during the flight. Fortunately, the plane landed safely and no injuries were reported. According to United Airlines, they will thoroughly examine the aircraft and make any necessary repairs. They will also conduct an investigation to determine how the damage occurred.
Amber Judd, the director of Jackson County Airport, confirmed that the plane was not a new one. This raises questions about how the panel became detached in the first place. Judd also mentioned that Boeing is currently facing multiple lawsuits for similar safety incidents on recent flights. In January, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-MAX 9 experienced a door plug falling out mid-flight, causing great concern and alarm.
It is clear that these safety incidents are a cause for concern and must be taken seriously. United Airlines and Boeing must work together to ensure the safety and well-being of their passengers. Let's hope that thorough investigations and necessary precautions will be taken to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
