Boeing is in the spotlight again after a panel was found to be missing in post-flight checks. Debris could not be found nearby, suggesting the panel came off mid-flight.
A Boeing 737-800 was found to have a missing panel after a United Airlines flight arrived at its destination in southern Oregon, airport officials said.
The airport paused operations to check the runway and airfield for debris, Judd said, and no debris was found. A United Airlines spokesperson said via email that the flight was carrying 139 passengers and six crew members, and no emergency was declared because there was no indication of the damage during the flight.
The panel found to be missing was on the underside of the aircraft where the wing meets the body and just next to the landing gear, United said.Boeing said, also via email, that it would defer comment to United about the carrier’s fleet and operations. Its message included a link to information about the airplane that was involved, and it was said to be more than 25 years old.
