A United Airlines plane built by Boeing was grounded Friday after it was found to be missing a panel after it touched down following a flight.

She reiterated the plane was not a new aircraft, unlike the slew of incidents seen in recent months. An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-MAX 9 lost a door mid-flight in January.
The incident – only the latest from the embattled manufacturer – occurred Monday, and is the sixth involving a Boeing plane in 10 days. Judd further clarified the part fell off midflight, as feds continue to look into Boeing’s production practices.
