A United Airlines-operated Boeing 737-800 was missing an external panel when it landed in Medford, Oregon, on Friday, the airline said in a statement.
No injuries were reported, no emergency was declared, and there was no indication of a problem during the flight. The Federal Aviation Administration said it's investigating.
Details about the missing panel were not provided.
The plane is a relative of a Boeing aircraft, the 737 Max 9, that lost a door plug in flight in January, but it is not the same model.
Friday's late-morning flight started as scheduled in San Francisco en route to Medford and landed 17 minutes early, according to flight tracker FlightAware.com.
