United Flight Lands Without Panel After Departing San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (March 17, 2024) — A United Airlines flight departing from San Francisco International Airport to Oregon completed its journey safely on Friday, despite losing an external panel during transit.
The incident was confirmed by the Rogue Valley International Medford Airport and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), noting that flight 433 landed without any complications at Medford Airport around 1:45 p.m.
The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 carrying 139 passengers and six crew members, did not declare an emergency landing since there was no indication of damage during the flight. The missing panel’s whereabouts remain unknown, and United Airlines has initiated a thorough investigation into how the panel fell off, alongside a comprehensive examination and necessary repairs of the aircraft before it returns to service.
This issue on the United Airlines missing panel comes on the heels of other recent incidents involving United Airlines flights linked to San Francisco, highlighting a concerning week for the company.
