US EditionAmerican Airlines 737 Plane Found with Apparent Bullet Hole After Flight From Miami to Colombia
- On Monday, American Airlines removed a Boeing 737 MAX 8 from service after crews found a puncture during a post-flight inspection at Miami following flight 923 from Medellín.
- Maintenance crews found damage consistent with an apparent bullet strike, noting a small round entry and likely exit through the right‑hand aileron, but investigators say it is unclear if the puncture occurred in Medellín or during flight.
- Temporary repairs completed overnight into Monday allowed the aircraft to operate its scheduled return to Miami, then it stayed in Florida about 12 hours before flying to Dallas.
- No injuries were reported and pilots did not flag any in-flight issues, and the airline spokesperson said it will work closely with investigators while the Colombian CAA investigates.
- Aviation blogger JonNYC first reported the apparent hole on X, and the case recalls 2024 Port‑au‑Prince incidents involving Spirit, JetBlue and American, raising safety concerns.
