A United Airlines Boeing 767 suffered significant damage to its fuselage after a hard landing in Houston, Texas, the United States.
After a rough landing in Houston, Texas, in the United States, a Boeing 767 operated by United Airlines sustained major damage to its fuselage.
On July 29, 2023, the event happened during landing on board a Boeing 767-300ER carrying the flight number UA702 from New York Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
The wide-body plane "made a hard landing," according to the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) system of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and a post-flight assessment "revealed damage to the fuselage."
A significant bend in the 767's forward fuselage was visible in images posted on the social media platform Reddit.
Data from the ASIAS system revealed that none of the 11 crew members or the 193 passengers on board the flight were hurt.
At 10:35 a.m. local time (UTC +5), the plane touched down at IAH. According to data from flightradar24.com, the airport's Meteorological Aerodrome Report (METAR) indicated no rain and wind blowing from 150 degrees true at a speed of 3 knots at 10:53 am local time (UTC +5).
Since landing, the Boeing 767-300ER has remained at IAH.
“United flight 702 landed in Houston on Saturday and all customers deplaned normally. We’re working with the NTSB and FAA and conducting our own investigation to understand the details of this landing,” a United Airlines spokesperson said in an email to AeroTime.
A spokeswoman for the airline stated that there aren't any scheduled departures from IAH for the aircraft right now.
