On June 20, 2024, a United Airlines plane returned to a Connecticut airport after losing part of a liner from inside the engine’s cover. The incident occurred during takeoff on a flight headed to Denver. This marks another mishap for the airline, which has faced scrutiny over a series of flight-related issues this year. The aircraft involved was an Airbus.
