A missing panel was discovered after a United Airlines' Boeing 737-800 aircraft landed on Friday, the airline company confirmed to Axios.

The big picture: The incident happened as the Biden administration sought to reassure Americans of the Federal Aviation Administration's "increased safety oversight of Boeing," per CNN.

What they're saying: "This afternoon United flight 433 landed safely at its scheduled destination at Rogue Valley International/Medford Airport," United Airlines said in a statement to Axios.

• "After the aircraft was parked at the gate, it was discovered to be missing an external panel," United added.
• The flight traveled from San Francisco, California, to Medford, Oregon, on Friday.
• United said it would "conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service" and "conduct an investigation to better understand how this damage occurred."
