The Federal Aviation Administration said it’s conducting an investigation after a missing panel was discovered in a United Airlines Holding Inc. plane that landed Friday in Oregon.
United Flight 433 departed from San Francisco International Airport and landed safely around 1:45 p.m. local time at Oregon’s Medford Airport. A post-landing inspection by the airline revealed a missing panel, according to the FAA.
Airline safety has come under scrutiny since the Jan. 5 blowout of a Boeing 737 Max door plug. Still, the latest incident involves a different type of aircraft.
