United Airlines' CEO is trying to reassure passengers that its planes are safe following a string of incidents that occurred in less than a month's time.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby reassured flyers in a letter this week that the carrier is looking into the string of incidents that have recently involved its planes, from engine and structural issues to a wheel falling off during takeoff. At least six unrelated incidents have occurred on planes operated by United since the end of February. Five of them involved a Boeing plane.
Shortly before that, a Boeing 737 "rolled onto the grass" at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston after landing, and a Boeing 777-200 aircraft bound for Japan lost a tire shortly after taking off in San Fransisco. Earlier this month, a flight from Houston to Fort Myers, Florida, made an emergency landing after experiencing an engine issue. A video showed flames spewing out of one of the plane's engines as a crew member acknowledged the situation.
