American Airlines Jet Lands in Miami With Bullet Holes After Trip to Colombia
Bullet holes were found on the wing of an American Airlines Boeing jet after landing in Miami from Colombia, according to a report.
Flight AA923 landed at the Miami International Airport on Monday when a routine post-flight inspection found the puncture marks on the 737 MAX 8’s right aileron, which is responsible for lateral balance, AirLive reported.
Despite the puncture marks, the aircraft flew and landed safely.
There were no flight-related issues or injuries on board related to the incident, American Airlines told The Post.
“The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair. We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident,” the company said in a statement.
The plane had been in Colombia’s Jose Maria Cordova International Airport on Sunday and was completing a round trip when the bullet holes were discovered, according to AirLive. (Read more from “American Airlines Jet Lands in Miami With Bullet Holes After Trip to Colombia” HERE)
