Bullet holes were found on the wing of an American Airlines Boeing jet after landing in Miami from Colombia, according to a report.

Flight AA923 landed at the Miami International Airport on Monday when a routine post-flight inspection found the puncture marks on the 737 MAX 8’s right aileron, which is responsible for lateral balance, AirLive reported.

Despite the puncture marks, the aircraft flew and landed safely.
There were no flight-related issues or injuries on board related to the incident, American Airlines told The Post.
“The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair. We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident,” the company said in a statement.
The plane had been in Colombia’s Jose Maria Cordova International Airport on Sunday and was completing a round trip when the bullet holes were discovered, according to 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.
