Bullet damage was discovered on the wing of an American Airlines aircraft after it landed in Miami following a flight from Colombia, according to reports.
Flight AA923 touched down at Miami International Airport on Monday, and a routine post-flight inspection revealed puncture marks on the right aileron of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 — the control surface responsible for lateral stability.
The aircraft completed the journey and landed safely despite the damage.
The airline told The Post that there were no operational issues during the flight and no injuries among passengers or crew.
In a statement, the company said the plane was immediately taken out of service for further examination and repairs, adding that it would cooperate with authorities investigating the incident.
AirLive reported that the jet had previously been at José María Córdova International Airport in Colombia and was finishing a round trip when the damage was identified.
It is not yet known how many passengers were on board the aircraft, which has seating capacity for more than 160 people.
Flight tracking data from FlightAware showed no significant delays or route changes during the trip.
After arriving in Miami, airline technicians reportedly carried out temporary repairs to stabilize the affected wing section.
By Monday evening, the plane had been transferred to the carrier’s main maintenance base at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The aircraft remains grounded while engineers conduct a comprehensive inspection of the damaged wing area.
