United Airlines Flight Lands in Oregon with Missing External Panel

A United Airlines flight that departed from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on Friday morning landed in Oregon with a missing external panel, according to officials. The Boeing 737-800 plane had 139 passengers and six crew members onboard.

United Airlines stated that the missing panel was not discovered until the plane had safely landed in Medford. Pilots were unaware of the issue during the flight. The airline has assured that they will thoroughly examine the plane, perform necessary repairs, and conduct an investigation to determine how the damage occurred.

This incident is the latest in a series of recent problems for United Airlines.

Despite the issue, the plane was able to land safely at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after being diverted.

United Airlines has faced scrutiny and raised concerns over the safety and maintenance of its aircraft. Passengers and aviation regulators are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the airline takes the necessary steps to address any safety issues.
