In a recent incident, bullet holes were discovered on the wing of an American Airlines Boeing jet after it touched down in Miami from Colombia, as reported by sources.

Upon arrival at Miami International Airport on Monday, a standard inspection revealed the damage on the 737 MAX 8’s right aileron—a crucial component for maintaining lateral stability—according to AirLive.

Remarkably, the aircraft completed its journey without any safety issues, landing without incident.

American Airlines assured The Post that no passengers or crew were harmed during the flight.

“The aircraft has been withdrawn from service to undergo thorough inspection and necessary repairs. We are collaborating with authorities to thoroughly investigate the situation,” stated the airline.

The aircraft had departed from Colombia’s Jose Maria Cordova International Airport the previous day, completing a round trip when the bullet holes were identified, as noted by AirLive.

It remains unclear how many passengers were aboard the plane, which can seat more than 160 people. 

There appeared to be no delays or major changes during the trip, according to FlightAware’s online tracker. 

After landing at the Miami International Airport, American Airline technicians reportedly performed temporary patching to stabilize the surface of the wing. 

By Monday night, the plane was sent over to Americans’ primary maintenance hub at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, according to AirLive. 

The plane is currently grounded as engineers are conducting a full assessment of the wings where the bullet holes were discovered, the outlet added.
