A Boeing aircraft operated by United Airlines landed at an Oregon airport on Friday missing an external panel, the airline said.
United Flight 433 departed San Francisco and landed safely at its destination, the Rogue Valley International/Medford Airport in Medord, Oregon, around 11:30 a.m., a United spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
“After the aircraft was parked at the gate, it was discovered to be missing an external panel,” the airline said. “We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service.”
The Boeing 737 was carrying 139 passengers and 6 crew members. No one was injured.
Operations at the airport were briefly paused while a safety check on the runway was completed and no debris was found, Medford airport Director Amber Judd said.
