A Boeing 737-800 aircraft belonging to the American company United Airlines was missing an exterior panel when it landed after a flight between San Francisco and Medford on Friday evening, Swedish time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plane landed safely and the discovery was made during a post-flight inspection, Medford Airport officials told the AP. No debris was found on the airport's airfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The missing panel was located on the underside near where the landing gear is deployed, according to the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident is one of several serious safety incidents that have affected planes from aircraft manufacturer Boeing in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into an incident in January when a door plug on an Alaska Airlines plane came loose, leaving a large hole in the aircraft thousands of feet above sea level.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things were sucked out of the hole and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland. No one was hurt, the door stopper was later found in a private garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
