DENVER — An engine cover on a Boeing 737 operated by Southwest Airlines ripped open just after taking off from Denver International Airport Sunday morning.

The Houston-bound Southwest flight took off from DIA around 7:45 a.m., and returned to the airport 30 minutes later, landing safely. No injuries were reported.

    What kind of random mechanical stuff like this happens to Airbus or other manufacturers?

      Before the pandemic I remember there being software/electrical issues on the 320. More recently it’s been engine issues on the 320neo.
